Best Kept Secret: Soundside, Hot Tub, Dogs OK
Looking for a comfortable yet affordable vacation home for your next trip to the Outer Banks? You've just discovered the "Best Kept Secret," a charming four-bedroom cottage located in the peaceful and secluded neighborhood of First Flight Village. This soundside home welcomes dogs and features practical and pet-friendly LVP flooring throughout. The public beach access at 1st Street is only a 4-minute bike ride away, and also provides free parking for guests who'd prefer to drive. After a day of fun in the sun, head back to the house for a soak in the hot tub or movie night downstairs in the den.
Situated at Milepost 7, Best Kept Secret is truly in the heart of Kill Devil Hills. You'll be within a mile radius of grocery stores, a movie theater, mini golf and fantastic dining options including The Jolly Roger and Goombays Grille & Raw Bar. The Wright Brothers National Memorial is also nearby - you can even get there on bikes using the bike path that connects 1st Street to Colington Road.

The house is fine, although a bit dated. Some of the bedding and throw pillows are old and stained. The linens are provided from a linen service, so the owner can't be faulted for some stains on the linens, although we asked for replacements, and the manager never responded. A modest investment could move this property to a 9 or 10, but it is competitively priced, in a good location, and is quite large. We enjoyed ourselves.

What a nice place to relax
The location was just a short walk to the beach. Conveniences all nearby (I.e, grocery, restaurants, putt - putt). The house was roomy and very clean. My only complaint was the beds. Need to update them. Not super comfy. The neighborhood was wonderful! The management group was very responsive on any little items that came up. I would stay here again.
