The space
This space adopted a Sea Otter - Travel with Purpose when you stay with us and assist in global efforts to help save this handsome endangered species!
The WIE House - Pod Zeus is a 324 sq. ft. combination of mostly re-purposed wood from multiple homes, that have been torn down to make room for bigger beach homes has a amazing beachy feel to it, and though it has a modest foot print the space is anything but modest, and a fireplace to take the chill off.
The WIE Village is SO very unique it made it into the 2016 OBX Parade of Homes...learn more about the amenities and layouts by Googling "Parade of Homes OBX 2016" and go to House #11 !
Look forward to having you to one of the most unique properties you will ever stay in!!!!
Guest access
You will have the whole Pod to yourself, and your guests! The Pod is outfitted with a retro refrigerator and freezer, a microwave and pod style coffee maker. You will also have access to the sound (weather permitting) and a tandem kayak. (The kayak is available on a first-come first-serve basis as it can be used by any guests staying at the WIE Village.)
Other things to note
This is a pretty waterfront location, and it may change your attitude for ever. Below is the story behind the WIE Village !
With green building in mind, we look to reuse and re-purpose materials that are left over from building enormous homes to create The WIE House. The first WIE House location is in an environmentally critical area, The Outer Banks (OBX) of North Carolina.
This concept is not unique to the OBX, as we would like to see it grow to any location where there are leftover materials on the job-site. Whether it be a remodel job or new construction, the benefits to this project are the use of leftover building materials, resulting in less forest destruction, filling of landfills, all while cutting expenses for all involved!
The WIE House is modest in physical size, but big in quality of living. The WIE House is constructed to be as maintenance-complimentary, and as energy-efficient as possible; including environmentally friendly items such as, metal roofs, rain water wine barrels to water landscaping, passive solar energy to maintain all exterior lighting, and all permeable walkways to prevent runoff to name a few!
A walkway will wind you up to the home that sits atop a hill and because lot clearing is kept to a minimum no driving of cars allowed on the lot.
Another goal of The WIE House concept is for local municipalities to get on board and see the value of higher density homes on property as opposed to the single Mega-Home!
The first WIE House was constructed on a lot owned by Jim Douglas on the Roanoke Sound, bordering the Kitty Hawk Maritime Forest and became available for rent Spring 2017.
