Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

Kill Devil Hills is the oldest official town on the Outer Banks, and arguably, one of its most popular destinations. Located in the middle of the central Outer Banks and bordered by miles of attractions, activities, shops, and restaurants, (and not to mention miles of ocean,) Kill Devil Hills offers vacationers a world of things to do and see. At the top of the "Hills," the Wright Brothers National Memorial overlooks the town, and at night, the soft flood lights surrounding the base of the memorial can be spotted in the distance from most any point within the town's limits. During the day, Kill Devil Hills really heats up with lots of fun both on and off the ocean, and plenty of entertainment for beach visitors. Essentially, for a packedg-Outer Banks vacation that has plenty of amenities and action, Kill Devil Hills is a perfect vacation destination. Kill Devil Hills Attractions: Wright Brothers National Memorial - The Wright Brothers Memorial is a tremendously popular attraction for Outer Banks vacationers of all areas, and is open year round, generally from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. depending on the season. Visitors can explore the reconstructed 1903 camp buildings where the Wright Brothers tinkered with their machinery, a visitors' center and original museum with a life-sized replica of the historic first airplane, and the Centennial pavilion which pays homage to achievements in flight since the Wright brothers first flew along the Outer Banks. Operated by the National Park Service, a small fee is required to access the Memorial grounds, but aviation lovers consider it an absolute "Must See" on their travels to the Outer Banks. Avalon Fishing Pier - For a small fee, visitors can fish this 700 ft. long pier. The pier house features a snack bar, tackle & bait, and beer. The Beach - The beach is still Kill Devil Hills #1 attraction. Like all central Outer Banks towns, kill Devils Hills has its own set of local beach rules and regulations, including no dogs on the beach from Memorial Day to Labor Day, 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. In addition, glass and bonfires are not allowed on the beaches, and driving on the beach is only allowed during the off-season months of October through March. Bear in mind, however, that these rules are in place to ensure everyone can enjoy the miles of oceanfront, and there's plenty of fun to be had both on and off the sand. There's no major beach boardwalk in Kill Devil Hills, but a quick hop over the dunes, and visitors can be right on the beach road to refresh with a soda or an ice cream from one of the area's many beachside shops. Here's what you need to know when visiting the beach: Dogs are not permitted on the beach between May 15 and September 15, from 9am to 6pm unless they are a service animal. Dogs are otherwise permitted on the beach, controlled by a handler with a leash. Fireworks and beach bonfires are not permitted in Kill Devil Hills. Beer is allowed on the beach. Wine and liquor are not officially permitted. Please drink responsibly. Metal detecting is allowed. Red flags = no swimming. When you see red flags flying, dangerous conditions are present and swimming is prohibited. It is illegal to walk on the dunes, and it is also illegal to pick live sea oats growing on the beaches. Fill in any holes you dig. Holes in the sand can be a hazard. Be mindful of Noise. Most communities consider a violation of the noise ordinance to be any sound that can be heard from inside a nearby residence, and any load noise after approximately 11:00 p.m. No glass on the beach. Be mindful of glass bottles. Alcohol is allowed on all beaches, but if at all possible, stick to cans and plastic to save future beach-goers from any bare foot injuries. Surf fishing is allowed. A fishing license is required in North Carolina and can be obtained before your vacation via the NC Marine Fisheries and Wildlife website, or a fishing license can be purchased at most any tackle shop on the Outer Banks. 4x4 Driving on the Beach - Driving on the beach is permitted October 1 - April 30 through designated access points. Vehicles must have current safety inspection, registration, insurance and license plate. Obtain a beach driving permit either from the Town of Kill Devil Hills or the Town of Nags Head. Through a reciprocal program, each town recognizes the beach driving permit issued by the other. Dining and shopping options are in no short supply either, and hungry visitors will find they have their choice between fast food and fine dining, small locally owned shops and national chains, quick bites and four course meals. These shops and restaurants are located throughout the town, either along the beach road in decades-old buildings or historic original coast guard stations, or on the bypass in beachy shopping centers and modern plazas. With many amenities within walking distance, Kill Devil Hills vacationers will find they don't have to travel too far to enjoy the highlights of the Outer Banks; shopping and dining scene. Beach accesses with free parking, listed from north to south, are found at the following locations: Avalon Drive 5th Street 3rd Street 2nd Street 1st Street Asheville Drive Prospect Ave Glenmere Ave Woodmere Ave Ferris Ave Raleigh Ave Carlow Ave Sutton Ave Pinehurst Ave Ocean Bay Blvd Carlton Abe Oregon Ave (handicapped parking only) Clark Street Martin Street Atlantic Street 8th Street

His went out of her way to get us an impromptu place when our other plans fell through. She took several calls from us when she didn’t need to. She was exceedingly friendly and accommodating. We loved her Airbnb. Things were so clean and the water in back was beautiful. Our thanks wouldn’t be enough. Thank you, Gia-We couldn’t have done it without you…Lizann Dodson, Nancy Brooks, and Kathy Dodson

The house is very nice and has a great location with a view down the canal. Everything was very clean and just as described in the listing. The host is very responsive when contacted and works to make sure everything is taken care of if there are any unforeseen issues.
