5036 Sounds Great * 2 Min Walk to Albemarle Sound
Quaint Soundside Cottage w/ Modern Amenities Have you been dreaming about visiting the beach? That SOUNDS GREAT! Book this quaint soundside cottage in Kill Devil Hills with your four-legged pal to make your family's vacation dreams a reality! With modern amenities and a convenient location near public sound accesses, you'll find that adapting to the peaceful island life will be an easy transition.
Downstairs, a driveway and covered carport offer plenty of parking. An outdoor shower is available for rinsing off all that sand from the beach and is next to a fish cleaning table making it easy to wash off your catch of the day for cooking up later! A storage area downstairs keeps your own beach gear protected from the weather. Gather around in beachy wicker furniture and enjoy your favorite movie on the outdoor projector with overhead string lighting.
Upstairs, a large great room with plenty of natural light, vaulted ceilings and beachy décor welcomes you into your week of relaxation. Enjoy the cozy living area situated around a large Flat-Screen TV with comfortable furnishings. The modern kitchen was designed with tiled floors, maple cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances for chefs of all skill levels to whip up their favorite seafood masterpiece! The kitchen island offers bar seating for 2 and the adjoining dining area seats 6, doubling as the perfect spot for pulling out your favorite board game for a little family-friendly competition.
Rest easy in a well-appointed Queen Master Bedroom w/ ceiling fan and attached Master Bath featuring a tub/shower combo. A second Queen Bedroom with ceiling fan shares access to a full hall bath with the third bedroom of this charming home that contains a Full Over Full Bunk Bed—perfect for the kids! A convenient laundry area is available with plenty of storage space for detergent and other supplies. Work on your tan as you lounge on the sun deck while reading your favorite book, or simply step outside under the covered porch to relax and enjoy the coastal sound breeze.
Convenient Location for Soundside Exploration Sounds Great makes it easy for you to explore Kill Devil Hills thanks to its prime location. Within easy walking distance, the Hayman Pier & Gazebo sound access is the perfect place to watch evening sunsets over the sound. A boat ramp access is also located nearby for visitors who want to take to the water for a day of sailing, fishing or crabbing. Use your VayK Gear credit to rent bicycles and take a ride along the public walkway on Bay Drive which will take you all the way to the Wright Brothers National Memorial where you can learn about the role played by the Outer Banks in our country's aviation history! To sample some great local products, swing by Outer Banks Olive Oil Co. and Chip's Wine and Beer Market right off the bypass. While you're there, stop in Front Porch Café to pick up a delicious baked good and fresh cup of gourmet coffee. OBX Art Studio offers a paint-your-own pottery experience that is fun for the whole family! You can also try reeling in the big one off the historic 700-ft long Avalon Fishing Pier or grab lunch at the pier restaurant. For a delicious seafood dinner, try the Jolly Roger, Chilli Peppers Coastal Grill or Two Roads Tavern which all also double as a great place for a cold drink on a hot summer evening! No matter how you spend your vacation, you'll want to stay in Sounds Great year after year!

Great Stay
We had a great time! We enjoyed the house being clean and close to the beach. Neighborhood is a mixture of rental properties and locals who were very nice. My family loved the outdoor shower. Overall we enjoyed the house and days at the beach.

Great Time!!!
House was clean and very convenient to get to beach. It had a little room on the ground level filled with beach chairs, umbrellas, kids surfboard etc.. I was not expecting that! They also had a projector and screen for outside viewing! I was very pleased with communicating and response time! Thank you very much!!!
