Keep it simple at this peaceful, comfortable and centrally-located efficiency apartment! First St Retreat is a attractively modernized and decorated efficiency apartment! This cute little place is only a .6 mile walk to the beach!! It is ideal for spending some time at the beach, resting after a long day of fishing, or battling the waves, or simply exploring the OBX!
One big thing about our home is it's located on a street that has a VERY trendy Beach Access for Surfing! You'll get to meet some of the great surfing legends there no doubt! Our neighborhood is peaceful and nice. Ideal for taking a walk and appreciating the sunset. There is a Publix directly at the end of our street for groceries as well as putt-putt for some extraordinary family fun! Whether you’re coming for fishing, both off-shore and inlet, surfing, sight-seeing, wedding, business, or just a calming vacation, our home is in the middle of it all!
To get to the beach, simply drive east on First Street, follow to light, cross over and continue driving straight to the Beach Access. Presto! In a matter of mins., warm sand and salty ocean air will pull you in!
To get to the northern beaches, Corolla and Corova, you take the bypass North through Duck and keep heading North! Wild horses are located in Corova, and you WILL need a 4 Wheel drive to see them. MAKE SURE YOU AIR DOWN
To get to the Southern Beaches, simply turn the other way, south on the bypass and keep heading south! Then if you’re really adventurous, take the ferry ride to Ocracoke, which is a whole other world and WELL worth the day trip!! Plan accordingly!
We have a shed in the back that has some bicycles, beach gear and yard games available on a first come first serve basis.
We have an absolute ZERO smoking (of anything), event, drug use, underage drinking, pet policy. We have a MAXIMUM of 2 persons AT ANYTIME (without prior approval). Failure to abide by these rules will result in immediate dismissal from our property WITHOUT A REFUND. Please know that the person who books the home, must be present during the stay, as we DO NOT accept third event bookings.
We take great pride in our rental and remodeled it with our guests in mind! Please take care of it as we would!

Kill Devil Hills vacation rental tips and tricks:
Cost saving strategies:
- In the Kill Devil Hills area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
- Booking in Fall or Spring is a good way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes.
- Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
- Property management companies often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
- Find a copy of your local Kill Devil Hills area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.
How to pick the best rental in the Kill Devil Hills area:
- Start by choosing your the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
- Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Clean Cozy Efficiency Beach Apt has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
- Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking pages. If not, email or call the property manager before you book the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
- Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.
- Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
- Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
More considerations for your visit:
- Put the owner's information in your smartphone.
- Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of concerns.
- Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would at home.
- Record any damages to the property at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are assessed.
- Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
- Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
- Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
- Inspect the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition.
- Did your family have a excellent time? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
