A community sitting between the serene coast of Currituck Sound and the majesty of the Atlantic Ocean, the Villages at Ocean Hill offers opportunities for family fun, sport, recreation, and sheer relaxation.
Cyclists of all ages and abilities can enjoy the nearly 2-mile stretch of the newly paved bike lane which connects VOH to the shops and community of Corolla Light. Nature lovers will love the serenity of the Currituck Banks National Estuarine Reserve, adjacent to the community, for walking and enjoying the sights and sounds of the maritime forest.
Guests of Hill Cottage have the ability to use the Community Fitness Center, Pickleball Courts and Tennis Courts for a fee. Visit the Fitness Center or VOH website for additional information.

Great home for a quick getaway
This property was perfect. Home is beautifully updated. Property Management company was very responsive and did a great job communicating with us. It met all of our needs and we had access to the fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts!
