The Neighborhood:
At the end of Route 12, where the ocean and dunes prevail, is where the Villages at Ocean Hill lays its claim on the beautiful, sun-kissed beaches of the northern Outer Banks. A community sitting between the serene coast of Currituck Sound and the majesty of the Atlantic Ocean, the Villages at Ocean Hill offers opportunities for family fun, sport, recreation, and sheer relaxation.
Cyclists of all ages and abilities can enjoy the nearly 2-mile stretch of the newly paved bike lane which connects VOH to the shops and community of Corolla Light. Nature lovers will love the serenity of the Currituck Banks National Estuarine Reserve, adjacent to the community, for walking and enjoying the sights and sounds of the maritime forest.
Guests of Hill Cottage have the ability to use the Community Fitness Center, Pickleball Courts and Tennis Courts for a fee. Visit the Fitness Center or VOH website for additional information.
Just a few minutes north is the entrance to the 4x4 Beach, where you can take a scenic drive on the sand and possibly catch a glimpse of the wild horses grazing on the beach.
