Sounds Good to Me at Oyster Pointe — The Smart Way to Do the Outer Banks

Here's a little OBX arithmetic: cross the bypass at the First Street light and you're at the beach. Walk or bike the neighborhood paths the other way and you're at the Wright Brothers Memorial. In between sits Sounds Good to Me — a recently renovated soundside condo in the heart of Kill Devil Hills that proves you don't need oceanfront pricing to have a genuinely great beach week.

Renovated Top to Bottom

The refresh runs through everything: all-new furnishings, new flooring, and a tastefully done, well-equipped kitchen. The kitchen table seats four with two more spots at the counter, and the living room pairs a full-size sofa and loveseat with a 55" smart TV. The king master includes its own smart TV and — a touch you won't find elsewhere — a stocked book library for rainy afternoons. The second bedroom's two twins suit the kids, with a full bath in the hall.

Out back, the deck seats four with peaceful views of the canal — morning coffee with the water, minus the crowds. Your dog is welcome too ($150 per pet plus tax).

Everything Down the Street

Oyster Pointe's location does daily-life duty most rentals can't: a Publix supermarket is right down the road, and Mako Mike's, Max's Pizza, and Goombay's Raw Bar and Grill headline the nearby dining. The well-maintained neighborhood's paths make it all walkable or bikeable.
