OBX Beach Gnome, In the Heart of KDH + Close to Everything, Perfect for Families
Welcome to OBX Beach Gnome, a stunningly furnished retreat nestled along the sound side at Milepost 6 in Kill Devil Hills. From the moment you step inside, you'll be captivated by the elegant hardwood floors that flow throughout, including the cozy bedrooms. The primary suite is a luxurious escape, featuring a spacious ensuite with a large vanity and sleek ceramic tile flooring—perfect for unwinding in style.
Downstairs, the inviting rec room offers a second living space, complete with plenty of seating, a TV, and an electric fireplace for those relaxing evenings. Need to catch up on work? The fully equipped home office, with a desk, external monitor, and wireless printer, has you covered. Plus, enjoy endless fun with a foosball table, board games, cards, and a library of books to keep you entertained indoors.
Step outside to enjoy lawn games in the backyard which is the ideal size for both kids and dogs to roam freely. Gather around the fire pit for cozy nights under the stars. And with The Invisible Fence in place, your furry friend can join the fun if they have a compatible collar.
After a sun-soaked day at the beach, refresh yourself in the enclosed outdoor shower, then let your cares melt away with a soak in the bubbling hot tub.
Guests at OBX Beach Gnome enjoy unbeatable perks: Walk or bike to the scenic Bay Drive multi-use path, just a quarter mile away. Less than a half-mile stroll to the Avalon Fishing Pier, with plenty of beach parking. Savor delicious seafood at Awful Arthur’s or groove to live music at the Avalon Pier—both just steps away.
Enjoy community sound access, perfect for launching kayaks or paddleboards, or simply bask in the breathtaking waterfront sunsets.
The OBX Beach Gnome is loved for its quiet neighborhood charm and unbeatable location in Kill Devil Hills—right in the sweet spot between the ocean and the sound. You can catch sunrise with your coffee and sunset with your cocktail, all without leaving the neighborhood. Inside, you'll find TVs in every room, a relaxing hot tub, a fire pit for s'mores and stories, and a downstairs rec room that teens claim as their kingdom.
A starter kit of toilet paper and a roll of paper towels is provided—enough to get you settled, but not stocked for a full week. And a quick note: the house tends to be better supplied in the off-season and early summer. By late August, the gnomes are running on fumes and back-to-back summer bookings make it hard to keep every drawer as full as their beards.
The OBX Beach Gnome is more than just a home -it’s a beachy escape ready for adventure and relaxation!
