Bright And Cozy Two Room Unit, Close To Beach And Sound -- Perfect For Two!

Located at Mile Post 6.5 in Kill Devil Hills, this unit is located on the ground level of a residential house. Set in a quiet family neighborhood, the unit is approximately 450 square feet and consists of a large bedroom with a comfortable queen bed, a sitting area with a recliner and an extra chair, a 32 inch HDTV with extended cable package and Blu-Ray player, and a large closet.

The front room has an apartment sized refrigerator, microwave oven, toaster oven, toaster, two coffee makers (Keurig and Mr. Coffee) with complimentary coffee, love seat, small drop leaf dining table with two small bar stools, basic cooking utensils and silverware, dinnerware for two, and a 19 inch television with Roku streaming stick. The Roku allows access to Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Videos, and many other popular streaming channels. We also provide an electric skillet and electric griddle for your use along with free WiFi.

PLEASE NOTE: The top floor of the house is also a vacation rental listed with VRBO (VRBO 1550878.). Until recently, we lived in the upstairs portion of the house and have since moved one mile up the beach. In the four years plus that we had lived above the unit, we never heard any excessive noise from the guests below and likewise they never commented on noise from above.

The unit is equipped with a newly installed dual zone mini-split heating/cooling system which is independent from the main house above.

Outside, guests have use of a gas grill with side burner, the outdoor shower with hot and cold water, a sitting area directly outside of the unit, and another sitting area with hammocks and a porch swing. You’ll have exclusive use of the sitting area (bistro table and two cushioned chairs) directly outside of your door while the grill, swing, hammock and shower are made available to upstairs guests as well.

We provide all linens, towels, two beach towels, and two beach chairs, a beach umbrella, two camping chairs, and a small cooler. In addition, we provide an iron and small ironing board, a hair dryer, and other essentials.

We are located less than two-tenths of a mile from a public boat ramp with oversized vehicle parking. Within three-tenths of a mile is a multi-use path that runs adjacent to the Sound (bay) – perfect for enjoying the picturesque Outer Banks sunsets or taking a leisurely stroll, jog, or bike ride. There are numerous restaurants, supermarkets, a movie-theater, and shopping facilities within a few miles. The nearest ocean access with free parking is approximately three quarters of a mile from the house. From there, there are numerous accesses up and down the beach road with free parking.

If you have a small child, the bedroom can accommodate a portable crib and if need be, we can provide a camping cot with mattress.

Please note, while we are pet lovers ourselves, we simply do not allow pets/animals of any kind in the unit, both downstairs and upstairs. No exceptions, sorry.

Within a week of your arrival, we will provide you detailed access instructions to make contactless check-in as easy and painless as possible. Once you arrive, you will find a notebook binder with more information on how to access the wireless, how to operate the television sets, some local insights on good restaurants and attractions, and so forth.

Checking out is just as simple. We don’t have any specific requirements other than to leave the unit in good condition, the same way you would like to find it if it was yours.

Thanks for taking the time to check us out. Feel free to contact us with any questions.

We had a great long weekend getaway here! Excellent location perfect for jogging/walking (quiet neighborhood plus sidewalks on some roads) and close to many restaurants and attractions, plus not too far from the beach. Well thought out rental with thoughtful hosts. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful Stay
This property was just as described. Very Clean and well maintained. It was perfect for our long weekend in Kill Devil Hills. We would recommend this property to family and friends in fact we already have. This property is near everything the OBX has to offer. We enjoyed the Jolly Roger Restaurant and The Sugar Creek Restaurant. We enjoyed sunrises on the beach and sunsets on the sound. We would stay here again.

Perfect
Recess was the absolute perfect place to just come and relax. I absolutely appreciated all of the little touches around the VRBO. I’d see something and just smile (my fav was the lei around the flamingo). I finally got to relax for the first time in a very long time and Recess was the main reason. I will definitely recommend to other people and hopefully book in the future! Thank you!!!

Perfect Getaway for Two
We were very pleased with our stay at the Recess. It was our first time in the OBX and we were most comfortable in our cottage. The property was clean and very well maintained The owners had great suggestions as far as restaurants and things to do in the area. Duck Donuts is a MUST! The ONLY reason I did not give a rating of 5 stars is because the week we visited was one of the hottest weeks in years, according to the locals. The window unit AC had a hard time keeping up with the heat. Other than that, the stay was PERFECT. I would highly recommend the Recess to anyone visiting and would certainly stay there again!

Recess Vacation Stay
This property was as described (no surprises). We really appreciated the timely response of the owners when we had questions. The location of the VRBO is great. My husband really enjoyed using the outdoor shower. We also appreciated the suggestions for places to eat (they were all great)! Thanks again!
