Great for couples. Dog-friendly. Enjoy more than just the beach in this bright and airy 1 bedroom 1 bathroom efficiency with porch and fenced yard, located in a quiet, centrally located neighborhood. It's just one block from the bay/sound, and an easy walk or bike to the beach! The interior space has queen bed, dresser, desk, flat screen smart tv with cable AND roku (with netflix, discovery app, etc), coffee maker, microwave and mini fridge. New linens, comforters and towels at the beginning of every season. The bathroom is nautically themed, with walk-in tile shower and granite countertop vanity. Walk out onto the porch for coffee or a cocktail, to hear the birds & smell the salt air. There's a small ocean peek from the porch. The fenced yard makes it easy to bring your fur baby! Just relax and enjoy the beach or the bay, you'll be able to go see sunrises over the ocean, and sunsets over the sound. It's a short walk to the beach, with a pedestrian-friendly stoplight crosswalk. Or, it's about a 30 second drive to one of the many public beach access, all with free parking. The bedroom, bathroom and covered porch are private to you. There is a shared entrance area to walk through (shared with the owner) to get to the stairs that lead to the private porch and the private room/bathroom. The porch overlooks a fully fenced yard that is shared with the owner and her dogs. (I minimize the time my dogs spend in the yard while guests are there. It's usually just a few minutes in the morning and in the evening. I arrange the time I let them out to avoid contact with guest dogs.) The neighborhood has a soundfront bike path that spans for miles along the water, which is a great place to walk, bike or jog, and this area is known for it's amazing sunsets. All you have to do is walk down the street and explore. You can even follow the path all the way to the Wright Brothers Monument. There's a breakfast place one block away, 2 coffee shops within 2 blocks and more shops and restaurants all within a short walk. I live above the unit, so I'm happy to give recommendations for restaurants, activities, or help with anything you may need. While I do my best to be as quiet as I can, you may hear footsteps and the dogs barking from time to time. PLEASE NOTE THE HOUSE RULES BEFORE BOOKING. There is 1 dog allowed with no pet fee. If you'd like to bring a 2nd dog, please request it, and based on age/breed/size, I might allow it. If so, there will be a pet fee. There is only one queen bed in the room and not enough space on either side of the bed for additional sleeping space, so the max guests is limited to 2\. instagram: @b2bgOBX ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Coffee/tea maker - Microwave - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the bay - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Parasailing nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Game room](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/24000000/23280000/23274200/23274132/0f02095b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### BEACH GETAWAY W/ JACUZZI TUB & GAME ROOM CENTRALLY LOCATED SPACIOUS ROOMS Kill Devil Hills - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Gym 9.8 Exceptional 103 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-30&endDate=2025-12-31&selected=23274132&PinnedHotelID=23274132&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby, sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94780000/94770600/94770600/w826h616x1y25-cef092a2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Paige's Place at the Beach Early Check -ins!

Please put empty cups on the mermaid tray, take the trash out to the big cans, and return the key to where you found it. That's my cue that it's ok to go into the unit. Trash and recycling big cans are by the garage. The black one is trash and the yellow/green one is recycling. Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host. ### Rules The efficiency is completely private, but is connected to my main house, so the entryway and yard are shared spaces with me. I live above the unit, so you may hear footsteps/residual noise or occasional dog barks. If you want to bring more than 1 dog, send me a msg with their size, breed and ages and I will consider it. If approved, there will be a pet fee. ### Pets Pets allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Welcoming dogs only 1 total pets Restrictions apply; for more information contact the property at the number on the booking confirmation Note from host: See house rule #3. ### Children and extra beds This property does not allow children ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Onsite parties or group events are strictly prohibited Host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector with you on the trip Host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property This property has outdoor spaces, such as balconies, patios, terraces which may not be suitable for children; if you have concerns, we recommend contacting the property prior to your arrival to confirm they can accommodate you in a suitable room This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.

Aug 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Consider yourself lucky if you ever have the opportunity to enjoy a small piece of paradise. You'll never come across a more accommodating host/homeowner. Those with pets and/or children will appreciate being a short walking distance from things like mini golf or the sound side if you like calmer waters. Those like my wife will love that there is a Dunkin's just a 3 minute drive away, with several restaurants not much further. If you or any loved ones have never seen a light house, there's one less than an hour away. So consider adding it to the list of special sights to encounter during your visit. I'll personally admit the only downside to this serene location and environment is you can't stay forever. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b84a944a-8d60-4e65-9dac-ab7b390c953a-1756388943994.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Pups are happy we're happy. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4fcd2fe8-72b8-4dce-b2c8-ea5191d9441d-1756388979353.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/424aec5f-c548-45cc-839a-96ad8c03fbe7-1756389011431.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/578de061-665c-446f-8d2f-2db771a38020-1756389018664.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Donald B.

The location is convenient, the room is small, but has everything that you need, including a desk and mini-fridge. The bathroom is clean and updated/spa-like decor. The porch/deck is large and comfy. The fenced yard is a great bonus. Would be nice: a microwave to heat up restaurant leftovers, a ceiling fan on the deck/porch for when there isn’t a good breeze, replace carpet with vinyl. Would definitely stay again. ##### Kimberly Ann C. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy W.

She shared supper with us, but was still respectful of our space. I didn’t feel bothered or uncomfortable. it was the perfect amount of being available but not too much. Her space was SO CLEAN. I’m super sensitive to cleanliness and I went barefoot in our space. Location to the beach was perfect. We can’t wait to come back. ##### Amy W.

The place was very clean, with a lot of character. Pay attention to the listing, it's really just a room and bathroom with no kitchen facilities. But it's meticulously tended and very comfortable. The lovely, shaded private deck makes up for the lack of living space in nice weather (which we had). Location is great - a bit of a hike to the ocean beach, but a short drive to public beach access with parking if that's more your speed. Jeanne Marie was a terrific host, and we would definitely do it again! ##### Jeremy B. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kera M.

Also, the outside stairwell was super dark at night, a light would have been helpful. A hair dryer and soap for the shower would have been great too. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay. ##### Kera M.

The room is small but updated and with everything you need. The balcony access on the second floor was perfect for lounging in mornings and evenings. And it was so great to have access to Jeanne-Marie's backyard for our pup to frolic in when he wanted a bit more room. Jeanne-Marie provided the best recommendations -- we visited three of her suggested restaurants and took a stroll on the path along the sound, as she highly recommended, which was beautiful at sunset. She was super responsive when we had questions, too, and it was nice to know she was easy to reach. As we were driving home, my husband said he'd happily stay here again if we return! ##### Jodie V.

This was a birthday present to myself. I wanted to be near things as the efficiency did not have a kitchen but did not want to be around people. I took my dogs and just wanted a relaxing time. There was a book kiosk in the neighborhood and I thoroughly enjoyed that as well as the walking/bike path along the bay. I must have gone at the perfect time as there wasn't any real traffic early in the morning and just a small amount of people in the afternoon. This was perfect for me. One day took the dogs to Hatteras and walked the beach. Smooth drive. Just what I needed for my getaway. ##### Regina S. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gaby G.

I highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a peaceful beach retreat, especially couples traveling with a dog. The property is beautifully maintained, clean, and thoughtfully designed. It’s an ideal getaway for those who want to relax and unwind in a serene setting. The porch was our favorite spot, surrounded by well-kept plants—it felt like our own little oasis. We spent hours enjoying the quiet, peaceful atmosphere there. Our dog, Bentley, was in heaven! He loved lounging on the porch, playing in the spacious, fenced backyard, and taking long walks along the beach. The property is not only perfect for pets but also offers plenty of cozy spots for couples to relax. The host was incredibly responsive, making sure we had everything we needed and offering excellent recommendations for local activities. As avid runners, we appreciated the scenic sound path nearby, where we ran every day. Each evening, we took Bentley to watch the sunset at one of the many water access points—a perfect way to end the day. This trip was truly wonderful, and we can’t wait to return. ##### Gaby G.

The house is located in a quiet neighborhood very close to the sound so we had wonderful sunset walks along a multi-use path. It was very convenient to go to Jockey's Ridge State Park, Nags Head Woods, or the Wright Brothers Memorial for a few hours of adventure with the dog and then come back for a little downtime at the beach. Jeanne Marie is a welcoming host – responsive to questions and provided great suggestions for restaurants all within 5-20 min (Salt Box Cafe is a must). The shaded deck and large backyard expanded the compact, indoor living space. The deck was perfect for enjoying coffee or a drink and watching the pup run around the securely fenced backyard (a real bonus for a hovering pet parent). The bedroom and bath were tasteful and very clean but no closet. There is a spacious mini fridge with a separate freezer for saving that ice cream that I just couldn't finish. The host kindly provided some starter coffee until I could go to the nearby Publix. All in all, this was a very comfortable and peaceful place to stay which I would definitely book again. ##### Jama D.

Room is perfect size for a solo traveler with any size dog, or a couple with a small to medium dog. Quaint and inviting accommodations include a queen bed that’s super comfortable, a smart TV for nights in or rainy days, Wi-Fi, and a mini fridge for beverages. Yard space is great for dogs to exercise in and do business! The OBX area is bustling with things to do. The efficiency studio is just a short walk to the sound and a bike ride or short drive to the Atlantic coast. Also short drives to Wright Brothers monument, tourist destinations like Duck, and easy access to restaurants, activities, and groceries with a Publix and Target by each other. And there's plenty to do for dog families too — just keep Fido leashed at all times and pick up his business, and you’re set! There are zero flaws to this space if you fit the bill. It’s a perfect-sized getaway space for folks who want to get out on the town more, while still offering solace after a busy day or during rain! ##### Matthew Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle H.
