About this property

Escape to the Beech House: A Wooded Family- Friendly Retreat Close to the Beach!

  • Welcome to The Beech House, a spacious and family-friendly retreat tucked beside Sea Scape Golf Course and the beautiful Kitty Hawk Woods Coastal Reserve. This rare, heavily wooded area of Bodie Island offers a peaceful setting while keeping you close to the beach, shopping, biking trails, and walking paths.
    Inside, the main living area is both comfortable and inviting, featuring a large-screen TV and surround sound. The well-equipped kitchen and spacious living and dining areas make it easy for everyone to gather, relax, and enjoy time together. The surround-sound system also extends to the screened porch, where you can conveniently adjust the volume.
    The recreation room offers even more space for family fun with a large-screen TV, pool table, two queen bunk beds, and a futon for additional sleeping accommodations. Guests can also enjoy a collection of games, books, and toys for younger children, located in the china cupboard and inside the ottoman.
    The primary bedroom includes a large TV, and HDMI attached device for viewing movies. It has an expansive private bathroom, and private back patio access to both the pool and the hot tub.
    The guest primary bedroom is the only bedroom overlooking the pool, and has a rocking chair, and a large TV.
    The two bunk rooms each feature a small DVD-ready TV and offer plenty of sleeping space with a full-size bottom bunk, twin-size top bunk, and twin-size trundle underneath. Please return items moved during your stay to original location before departure. DO NOT MOVE POOL TABLE
    Outdoor Fun
    The private pool area includes plenty of lounge chairs and several pool floats. A speaker connected to the home’s surround-sound system allows you to enjoy music outside, with the system and volume controlled from the screened porch.
    The outdoor spaces also include a screened porch, hot tub, outdoor shower, and patio table. Beach supplies and yard games are stored in the garage for guests to enjoy. The porches and garage and the guests responsibility to maintain tidy, returning items to orderly location, and keep clear of debris, sand etc.
    Umbrellas are also available poolside only — and may be used for short periods when ATTENDED with low wind and the weather conditions allow. A multi-color underwater pool light can be turned on from inside the home — for enhanced evening charm during the open-pool season.

Spring Break stay in NC

Our family of four and small dog stayed here for a short Spring Break trip. The house, located in a residential community, was very clean, organized, spacious and well-maintained. It was easy to check in and out and communications with the owners was excellent. We were able to ask questions about the house and get tips on touring the area. We especially liked the pool area, screened porch and hot tub. Thank you to Craig and Judy!

Great amenities!

We lived the size of the home, with our teens getting their own hangout space with pool table, fun built in bunk beds, and TV. Other bedrooms and baths were spacious along with a great room for everyone to gather. I loved the pool and pool furniture plus hot tub. I would come back with my extended family as well!The area was beautiful to walk or bike around.

The Beech Hiuse

A nice house in a quiet neighborhood. Any questions or concerns were quickly answered. Pool and hot tub were refreshing. Its location puts you close to all attractions but away from all traffic and noise. I would recommend this house to anyone.

Fabulous All Around

House was just as described, clean, and in good condition. Quiet enough to relax, yet close enough to the beach and all the entertainment of the Outer Banks. Plenty of room for the 10 of us and the pool and hot tub were awesome. The owners were responsive and super friendly. 15 out of 10 would recommend!

Spacious for family

Great location at the beginning of the strip. Cross over the main road to get to the beach. Very spacious home to spread out. Loved the dual fryer machines. The main attraction was the pool and hot tub. Garage could be cleaned a little better but not a deal breaker. Overall a great stay.

Exactly what we wanted

We were a group of 4 adults and 7 grandkids for a beach vacation in Kittyhawk and this house was exactly what we needed. Plenty of room for everyone, all of the amenities we needed, and the pool and hot tub were the icing on the cake. We were close to the beach and many restaurants and shops. Judy was very responsive to any questions we had and gave us some great recommendations for restaurants. It was a wonderful place to relax and enjoy our summer trip.

Family Reunion/ High School Graduation

We had a wonderful time reconnecting with our families from Texas, Minnesota, Virginia and here on the Outer Banks. The location was perfect- away from the headache of beach/tourist traffic, but close enough to get to the beach without a lot of hassle. We loved the pool, hot tub and bicycles. The neighborhood and adjacent timeshare property was lovely for walks and bike rides. Check in was super easy, and communication from the owners was timely!

Much needed week at the beach

We had a fantastic time! Great communication with property manager and owner! Amazing space for our group. We loved that it was a little away from the beach so it was quiet, and we were surrounded by nature. Had a fun little tree frog keep us company by the outside shower, and my boys loves it! 100% recommendif you are looking for a calm vacation. Close to stores and restaurants, we were able to walk to the best burger and best bagel in kitty hawk!

Five female adults spent a long weekend at this amazing property to decompress and enjoy the quiet. This was the perfectly equipped house for everyone's personality. There was ample space for everyone to spread out and enjoy their own quiet time as well as perfect gathering locations in the home for all of us to come together. We would definitely come back again.

Wonderful time!

Me and my family had a wonderful time at the beach house. Nice quiet house and neighborhood. It was very clean and well stocked with so many things. I literally packed way too much more than what I needed, everything you can think of is provided in the house except for your own clothes and food. The pool and hottub were so refreshing. There is even plenty of pool and beach supplies. My girls cried when we left! We cant wait to come back again!

2024 Obx stay

My husband and I were looking for a place for one last big vacation with our close friends before our baby comes. I am so happy I found this rental. Host was very friendly and even allowed us to enter property earlier than check in time. Property had plenty of space for us all (3 couples and one stand alone friend) to hang out together and still feel like we had our own place to relax. It's not right up on the beach, but that's something we really enjoyed. We got to be at the beach, but also had privacy of our own little pool and hot tub for the week. Our friend utilized the bikes for some short distance shopping. Had a few times where frogs tried to follow us inside, but that only made for some funny memories. Highly recommend 👌

Weekend golf outing to OBX

Host notified me two days before arrival that we could check in at noon vs 4:30 pm. Unfortunately we had already made a tee time for golf to finish at 4 timing it for the 4:30 check-in. I asked for the access code to share it with the others staying with me. I was told I would not get the code until noon as that was the check-in time. Every other place I have stayed sends the code several days to a week in advance. The on day of check-in I didn't get the code until 1:30, well after the noon check-in I was allowed. The pool table is up in the 3rd floor which isn't easy to get up the spiral staircase. Plus all cue sticks and no tips so the pool table was useless. Some of pans are scratched and need replacing. Beds were comfortable and house clean. BBQ grill is aging and not placed for easy grilling access. Overall the stay was average.
