Lovely Short Stay

We were so happy to find a home that not only allowed short stays – just three nights – but also our Sweet mini doodle and literally a stones. Throw up a Dune and on the beach. Perfect house for a couple even the linens were quality! And the communication with the host was always immediate and first rate. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Amazing Stay and Amazing Hospitality

My father, my dog, and I all stayed at Gia’s property and we could not have had a better experience. The unit was clean and suited our needs perfectly, and was also accurate to the listing. We were right across from the beach which was a lovely addition to the trip. The best part of the trip was Gia’s hospitality and kindness towards us, she made us feel right at home in the Outer Banks. We would love to stay at one of her properties again in the future. 10/10 would recommend staying here.

Perfect relaxing getaway!

The home was cozy and comfortable with everything we needed for a perfect weekend. Fully stocked kitchen made it easy to cook but location made it easy to find outside places to eat and shop. Description said it was a “skip” to private beach access which was such a luxury! Being pet friendly was such a necessary part for me and I am thankful my pup could come along!!

10/10 would book again

First of all I cannot say enough about how great our host Gia was. She was super attentive and even helped us after checkout when my fiancé accidentally left something behind. The place is clean, quiet, and literally steps away from the ocean! The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals and clean up after ourselves. We stayed in the king room and the bed was really comfortable. The bedrooms and living areas are good sized and do not feel cramped. This place was the more than enough space for us and our two dogs. This is the first time we've stayed in Kill Devil Hills and it was a great experience. Everyone is so friendly and will strike up a conversation with you. I would argue that KDH has some of the best seafood in the country, so make sure to check out some local places! We recommend Chili Peppers, Awful Arthur's, and Jimmy's Seafood Buffet. Happy travels!
