Barefoot Joy: Short Walk to Beach/Pier | Pets OK

Kick off those flip flops and feel the Barefoot Joy when you stay at this classic OBX beach cottage in Kill Devil Hills. The prime oceanside location means you'll be just a short walk to the Avalon beach access and pier. Use the beach cart to easily transport all of your gear. Barefoot Joy is the perfect choice for guests who want to spend their vacation surfing, fishing or simply enjoying the beautiful sights of the sparkling Atlantic. After a day of fun in the sun, head back to the house and get happy hour started in your very own backyard oasis. This fabulous outdoor space includes a tiki bar, grilling area with picnic table and covered sitting area. Climb the stairs to the observation deck where you can lounge in the sun while enjoying an ocean view. Inside, you'll find three bedrooms including a king ensuite, and an open-concept living/dining area with a well-stocked kitchen for preparing meals at the house. Start your day with a delicious latte using the Nespresso machine, and wind down for happy hour at the bar in the den. Pets are welcome, so bring your four-legged friends along for the beach vacation of a lifetime.

This pet friendly property was absolutely amazing. Nicely decorated and furnished with plenty of supplies for cooking. The outdoor area was incredible as well. Right down the street from awful Arthur’s and the Avalon fishing pier, it was great if you enjoy the beach/fishing.

Great property and location! Only complaint is that the cleaning prior to our arrival was subpar. Crumbs on the counters, hair on the floor, and some mildew in the shower of the shared bathroom.Very well furnished and comfortable!
