About this house rental

Situated in Kill Devil Hills, this charming house for R 5,510 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. *Please Read negative reviews first, this is a unique OLD house and location, and it's not suitable for everyone. If you have a tendency to need perfection, not read entry instructions, or want a quiet location, this is not the property for you. The SeaWitch is 61 years old this year, and there is a chance, despite monthly treatment by Professional One Pest Control, bait and sprays, that a roach might find it's way in again - we had one incident last year I do NOT want to repeat. I don't want to ruin anyone's vacation, so please do not book if you or a family member has an issue with this possibility. Dee takes a great deal of pride in keeping the house clean, but if food is left out, ants are also a possibility. All future guest contact is being handled by Delores Woodard (Dee) my housekeeper. Her number will be at the top of the entry information which you will receive after the rental agreement is returned. Short Description: 1960s cottage restored and improved in 2015 with new HVAC, new TVs, new Stainless Steel Appliances including induction range, quiet dishwasher; new beds & flooring, very dog friendly (we do accept multiple dogs) with 4' high welded wire COMPLETELY fenced yard, right on beach road, close to everything, 75 yards to beach access, NOT a quiet location due to beach road traffic! Sun-Sun changeover during summer season, check in any day with 2 or 3 day minimum during the offseason. Full Description (please read before asking questions!): *THERE WILL BE NO OCCUPANT ON GROUND FLOOR, JUST STORAGE* The SeaWitch is meant for those looking for a classic, slightly worn cottage with modern conveniences - central A/C, stainless appliances, Dish Network DVR system with 65" TV, and reliable DSL WiFi. There are 3 bedrooms, the "Yellow" room with a soft foam king bed, the "Blue" room queen firm foam "Tempur-pedic" bed, and the "Green" room has 2 foam mattress twins. The bathroom has a tiled shower / tub, cabinet style vanity, and lots of hooks to make sharing easy. There is also a nice large outside shower, completely rebuilt and repainted with new controls and showerhead. The house is very dog friendly - large yard completely contained with 4' wire fence (generally dog proof so far, but I'm sure a determined dog could dig out) with attached to wood fencing; we have fencing around the kitchen stairs so dogs can be let into the yard without having to go outside. The beach access is located on the Kill Devil Hills / Nags Head town line, which means the rules are different if you go left or right at access - Nags Head allows dogs on leashes year round but KDH restricts dogs on beach from Memorial Day to Labor Day between 9am and 6pm. So, you basically have to turn right at the access to go into Nags Head during the summer. Kitchen features an "Induction" range, and is fully equipped for fairly involved cooking with quality cookware, dutch ovens, pots, pans, sharp knives, roast pan, etc. 50 year old milled wood T&G walls in the great room would have some great stories to tell, some you can see just by looking at the scars. LVT floor throughout the entire house. A 3 ton central A/C. We will only rent to adults over 25 and families, with families much preferred... sorry kids, no beach weeks. Cleaning fee includes sheets and bath towels for each bedroom (enough for 6 people), dogs add a single $50 fee (paid to Dee for the extra sand and fur) for as many dogs as you want. You will need to bring your own beach towels. When you exit the cottage driveway turn right to head towards 8th street that is an easy 1 minute walk to direct public access on the left (ocean side) and a boardwalk to the beach. Under the porch there is plenty of space to store your fishing rods and beach accessories. There is a large outside shower as well. Washer and dryer in utility room on ground level. Beach Items: There are at least two chairs, coolers, a heavy duty beach umbrella like you get from the rental places, a fat tire beach cart, and some other odds and ends in the utility room.

Place smells like dirty wet dogs. There are roaches in and around the kitchen. Expired food in the pantry. Linens were dirty. Dog feces all over the yard. The “storage” area on the lower level of the house, makes the house feel odd and shady… Needless to say, we will never stay in this property nor will we recommend it.

John and Dee were very communicative and answered our questions in a timely manner. This location is close to everything and minutes walk to the beach. Our pup loved the fenced in yard and being able to roam freely. We went during off season so it was a little chilly to stay at the beach too long, but there was so much else to do in the neighborhood!

My wife and I visit the OBX 3-4 times per year and have stayed in a lot of different rentals. This was one of our favorite places we've ever stayed. It's not necessarily the fanciest or most updated but the location is perfect, the place is clean and well stocked and the communication with the owner was excellent. We can't wait to go back and will be looking this property up first when we do go. Thank you!!

We loved our time at this classic OBX beach house. Walking distance to the beach and all kinds of great restaurants. I have been coming to the Outer Banks since the mid 90s and this was one of my best trips yet. Thanks to John and Dee for a great stay. We will be back!

We had a wonderful time. The house was just as it was described, Great locations . We were close to the beach and piers. My husband is a fisherman, so that was our goal. The house was clean and having the washer and dryer made our travel home so much nicer, knowing we did not have to go home and start on laundry. We even left a gift for the house, we bought a little stand sitter, with Mermaid's tears written on it. LOL

We had an anniversary trip for 2 couples. The kitchen was so well stocked, it made cooking a pleasure. The dogs very much appreciated the large and well maintained yard. It was perfect, we would stay here again for sure.
