About this house rental

Judge's Choice Award for the 2016 Parade of Homes.

Come to Catching Rays, and you'll forget to count the days.

Begin a new tradition at Catching Rays, a magnificent cedar shake beach property in Kill Devil Hills. Inside and out, this spacious family retreat stands above and apart. With three master bedrooms, a private pool, a quiet sidewalk for the three-minute walk to the gorgeous beach, and partial ocean views from the top level, this property was built with unique attention to aesthetic details. Conveniently located in Kill Devil Hills, with a classic cedar exterior that reflects Outer Banks traditions, the gentle ocean breezes will fill each room of this traditionally designed property.

While one of the master bedrooms, the kitchen and the living room are located on the mid-level, the other bedrooms and a family room are upstairs on the top level. This thoughtful design is unlike many beach cottages in which the noise of night owls on the floor above can disturb guests, especially children, in the bedrooms below. From quartz countertops, slate finish appliances and a gas range in the kitchen; to the hardwood floors in the main living area, to its carpeted bedrooms and tiled bathrooms, Catching Rays is a harbor of luxury and comfort. A screened porch is perfect for relaxing in the morning sun or afternoon shade. There are multiple LCD TVs throughout the property and wireless internet access. A gas grill and convenient outdoor shower are located on the ground floor just outside the entry room.

As a vacation spot, Kill Devil Hills is ideal for the young, old and in-between. There's no end to the dining and entertainment choices, from family fare to rockin' night haunts, golf and go-karts to hang gliding and paddle-boarding, with lots of local treat shops and outlet stores. Nearby are tennis courts, playgrounds, a skate park, and a boat ramp on the Currituck Sound side. Also on the sound side are miles and miles of quiet streets and bike paths for riding or running. The property is only minutes from the towering Wright Brothers National Memorial surrounded by sprawling acres of natural landscape, great for walking or running, and is always a memorable place for a family outing.

We loved the house and the beach wasn't too far and not crowded. The neighborhood surrounding the house isn't the most desirable. It was our first trip to OBX, so we are now more informed about which areas we would choose to stay at in the future.

Everything was just as advertised! Beautiful home, clean, short walk to the beach, coffee shop two doors down, etc. the house was perfect for our families and we all had a wonderful time. There are a lot of stairs so I would caution if you have someone who would struggle with that and if you are going with small children, bring baby gates! We would definitely rent this home again!

Property was very roomy. Kitchen was awesome. Very well stocked. Great for families with children. Beach cart for renters was a nice touch! Made it very easy karting things back-and-forth from the beach! Outdoor shower was also a plus.

It was a great week! We enjoyed the house and it’s location. The only real issue was the weather, it was a little cool. Next time we’ll order more sunshine! But seriously, we really enjoyed the stay and the week. We all needed a relaxing time and got it! Thanks a bunch! Tell the homeowners as well how beautiful the place was to us!
