Cozy 4-bedroom cottage in Kill Devil Hills 500 feet from the beach! - Vacation rental home in Kill Devil Hills, NC

MURPH’S COTTAGE

THE SPACE
Exposed beams, juniper paneling and reclaimed heart pine floors create a warm and comfortable ambiance in this comfortably furnished OBX bungalow just steps from the Atlantic Ocean. Gus Kahn got it right when he penned, "Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning!" You're going to appreciate waking up at Murph's place and heading East for a sunrise, a jolt of vitamin sea, or a long, slow walk along the shore! There’s a lifeguard at the beach access on duty during summer months. Gather for family time in the airy living/dining area and adjoining kitchen containing all the amenities of home or find privacy in one of four cavernous bedrooms. Rather be outside? Savor breakfast at the family table on the screened porch or pick crabs around the picnic table on the deck. Unwind in a rocking chair or hammock with a good book. Located in the heart of Kill Devil Hills in a neighborhood mixed with visitors and residents, Murph's bungalow is conveniently located a short walk or drive to stores, grocery stores, eateries, movie theater, miniature golf, fishing pier and kids’s waterpark. Here's hoping you'll vacation at Murph's soon and will want to make it an annual event.

Appreciate a well-equipped kitchen with stainless appliances, a great room with INTERNET/TV/DVD and dining room with seating for 8. The roomy screened porch with a table seating 10 is ideal for outside meals! There’s no need to bring bottled water as the bungalow has a reverse osmosis system that provides the refrigerator’s ice and water plus a water filtration system that offers filtered water throughout the property. There are 4 bedrooms—BR #1 Q, BR #2 Q, BR #3 Pyramid (S over F with trundle), BR #4 California K. Each bedroom has an en suite half bath (basin and toilet).
