Coastal Beach Townhome | Steps to Beach | Pool, Bikes & More

Welcome to Carolina Waves, your relaxed Outer Banks getaway just a short walk from the beach within the Sea Dunes resort community in Kitty Hawk.

This comfortable, coastal end-unit condo features warm wood accents, a bay window, and a classic beach-house feel, bringing in extra natural light and creating a space that’s inviting, easygoing, and perfect for unwinding after a day on the sand.

Spend your days at the beach and your evenings relaxing in a layout designed for simple, comfortable living with family or friends.

Beach gear, bikes, and full resort amenities (pool, hot tub, clubhouse, game room, pickleball/tennis, racquetball, and gym) are all included — plus local tips and responsive support from our OBX-based family, welcoming guests since 1973.

The living area offers a comfortable place to gather, while the kitchen is equipped for easy meals at home or quick breakfasts before heading out. Natural light from the bay window and balcony helps keep the space feeling bright and relaxed.

Step outside onto the deck to take in ocean views, watch the surfers, and enjoy the coastal breeze — a great spot to unwind after a day at the beach.

The multi-level layout provides flexibility for sleeping and relaxing, making it easy for everyone to spread out while still staying connected.

Downstairs, the garage serves as a convenient beach staging area with seating, gear, bikes, and space to get organized before heading out for the day.

Located in the heart of Kitty Hawk, you’ll be just steps from the beach and close to local favorites, shops, and restaurants — everything you need for a classic Outer Banks stay.

We really enjoyed our stay. I took some pictures right from the deck of the sunset. In the morning, we would go to the beach and watch the sunrise rise Also, at night we would & see the ghost crabs on the beach. It is the perfect location spot. It does need some mild updates, but for the value, it was perfect. The only complainant we have was the extra bathroom did not allow you to run the shower because the drain had to be held in order to get the tub to drain while you were showering so we all used the one bathroom. Also, I think the cable should’ve been set up a little differently. We weren’t sure if we had to have our own passwords or their passwords and it wasn’t able to get into the TV shows but we are too exhausted anyways.But we survived ! Thank you to the hosts.

Nice place in a spectacular setting !

After a long drive, it was great to relax in a comfortable, clean setting. Being right across the street from the beach was perfect, and with so many fun things to do and great shops/ restaurants around, it's paradise ! The owners couldn't have been nicer, we can't wait to come back!

First time in OBX

We loved the location and it was a great value for the price - being across the street from the beach and walking distance to two great restaurants was perfect for us - beach was not crowded and our neighbors (they owned their condo) were very friendly - would definitely book again!

Good location

The location and ability to have our dog stay with us was great. The owner was responsive and dropped off missing items that evening. The home itself is in need of repairs and updating. Broken vent covers, door closer and dishwasher racks and ripped couch cushion etc. make it feel neglected. Owner asked for complaints and input though so hopefully things will be fixed and future renters will have a good stay.

Great location but needs a gut job

This neighborhood is one of the best in the OBX however this unit has not aged well. Everything seemed to be on its last leg. The fridge made an awful sound all the time. The fan in the main bedroom was too loud to be used. The couch upstairs looked like it came from a frat house. If it hadn’t been for the location and the closeness to the beach I might have given it a 1 star. I will say the owner was very responsive and let us check in early. But as a family we would choose another property over this one in the future. With a little love this place gets a 5 star

Pleasant

The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed the short walk to the ocean. The bicycles (4) that were listed for our use all had flat tires. One tire even came off the rim when we tried to move the bike. The bike pump that was provided did not work. That was a disappointment, because we would have enjoyed biking in the area. The appliances could use a bit of an update too.

Disappointed

The property is very old and shows its wear. Large "water bug" that I thought was a roach crawled out from behind the stove on night one. Contact the host immediately that night and did not hear back until the next morning after second message. Internet out for two days. Two flights of 13csteps each, very steep and not listed on description. This is not dog friendly. I rented a dog crate only to find one in the garage when we arrived. Again not listed. Many issues..loose floor outlet cover, broken floor vent cover, large open hole in bath tub when overflow cover should be, door closer off door to deck and kaying on table, electric cord to fireplace attached under fireplace door to inside fireplace, upholstery on couch and outdoor furniture cushions torn, zippers broken and dirty. Very stressful "vacation"

Really great stay in OBX at this property. The location was excellent, the beach is a short walk away, the neighbors were friendly and it was ideal for bringing our dog with us. Dave is a wonderful host, very responsive and helpful and the property was very comfortable and clean. Very close to a lot of shops and restaurants but also on the beach side gives a relaxing experience.

The location of this rental is what makes it a 5 star rating. Every day, we sat on the balcony and watched the waves roll in. And since it's just a short walk to the beach, we took advantage of that daily as well.
