Located at Mile Post 6.5 in Kill Devil Hills, this unit is located on the ground level of a residential house. Set in a quiet family neighborhood, the unit is approximately 450 square feet and consists of a large bedroom with a comfortable queen bed, a sitting area with a recliner and an extra chair, a 32 inch HDTV with extended cable package and Blu-Ray player, and a large closet. The front room has an apartment sized refrigerator, microwave oven, toaster oven, toaster, two coffee makers (Keurig and Mr. Coffee) with complimentary coffee, love seat, small drop leaf dining table with two small bar stools, basic cooking utensils and silverware, dinnerware for two, and a 19 inch television with Roku streaming stick. The Roku allows access to Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Videos, and many other popular streaming channels. We also provide an electric skillet and electric griddle for your use along with free WiFi. PLEASE NOTE: The top floor of the house is also a vacation rental listed with VRBO (VRBO 1550878.). Until recently, we lived in the upstairs portion of the house and have since moved one mile up the beach. In the four years plus that we had lived above the unit, we never heard any excessive noise from the guests below and likewise they never commented on noise from above. The unit is equipped with a newly installed dual zone mini-split heating/cooling system which is independent from the main house above. Outside, guests have use of a gas grill with side burner, the outdoor shower with hot and cold water, a sitting area directly outside of the unit, and another sitting area with hammocks and a porch swing. You’ll have exclusive use of the sitting area (bistro table and two cushioned chairs) directly outside of your door while the grill, swing, hammock and shower are made available to upstairs guests as well. We provide all linens, towels, two beach towels, and two beach chairs, a beach umbrella, two camping chairs, and a small cooler. In addition, we provide an iron and small ironing board, a hair dryer, and other essentials. We are located less than two-tenths of a mile from a public boat ramp with oversized vehicle parking. Within three-tenths of a mile is a multi-use path that runs adjacent to the Sound (bay) – perfect for enjoying the picturesque Outer Banks sunsets or taking a leisurely stroll, jog, or bike ride. There are numerous restaurants, supermarkets, a movie-theater, and shopping facilities within a few miles. The nearest ocean access with free parking is approximately three quarters of a mile from the house. From there, there are numerous accesses up and down the beach road with free parking. If you have a small child, the bedroom can accommodate a portable crib and if need be, we can provide a camping cot with mattress. Please note, while we are pet lovers ourselves, we simply do not allow pets/animals of any kind in the unit, both downstairs and upstairs. No exceptions, sorry. Within a week of your arrival, we will provide you detailed access instructions to make contactless check-in as easy and painless as possible. Once you arrive, you will find a notebook binder with more information on how to access the wireless, how to operate the television sets, some local insights on good restaurants and attractions, and so forth. Checking out is just as simple. We don’t have any specific requirements other than to leave the unit in good condition, the same way you would like to find it if it was yours. Thanks for taking the time to check us out. Feel free to contact us with any questions. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the apartment: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - DVD player - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: Smoking allowed anywhere oustide. ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the marina ### Things to do - Optional golf privileges - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing 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) - First aid kit - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 480 square feet ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27140000/27133000/27132971/e7529170.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Atlantic Oasis, less than 1 block to the beach!

Aug 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Our first trip to OBX My 22-year-old son & I went and stayed at Recess, our first time at the Outer Banks. It was his birthday weekend so we had just a little getaway. The property was very clean and the hosts were awesome to work with. The only thing, and it was a totally my mishap was the size of the place. My Son is 6’2 and about 215 pounds. So it was a bit smaller than what I had originally thought. But the host provided a cot/mattress that we could use. Like I said, that was my fault not paying attention to the exact measurements of the property. Other than that, I would highly recommend Recess!! ##### Melany B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris C.
