GSL2-Ocean-Front Condo Complex -Private Community Pool -OceanViews-Charming 2BR
This well-maintained, spacious Kill Devil Hills rental is located in The Golden Strand condo development, centrally located to all the Outer Banks has to offer (7.5-mile marker). Hidden Ocean Gem is situated near the elevator, steps to the life-guarded beach where fishing is almost always in season, and just as close to the large private community pool that features a gated kiddie pool.
Aside from an amazing location, this condo unit offers plenty of natural light, accompanied by limited ocean views that are perfectly positioned for ocean sunrises. The spacious kitchen and open great room are perfect for gathering while cooking meals or relaxing in the living room. The great room's slider leads to a walkway deck with ocean views or catching an ocean breeze. The main king bedroom joins to a lock-out hallway, giving privacy to the main suite, while the hallway to the twin room has a separate bathroom as well as an open wet bar. The living room couch also pulls out into a queen sleeper sofa allowing for additional guest sleeping.
Hidden Ocean Gem provides welcoming decor and a wealth of amenities such as linens/towels, high-speed WiFi, cable TV, elevator and luggage lift, access to the free community laundry room, charcoal grilling station with picnic area, playground, basketball area, and free gym access to the Outer Banks Sports Club!
Being located in the heart of Kill Devil Hills, you'll be close to popular restaurants, grocery stores, golf (including miniature golf), two fishing piers (within a few miles), water sports, and the Cineplex, as well as a short drive to historic sites like the Wright Brothers Memorial (can be seen from condo), Bodie Island Lighthouse, and so much more!
This unit also uses a keypad lockbox entry, so you can check in directly at the complex! During peak season this is a Sunday-to-Sunday rental. Off-season we have a four-night minimum with Sunday check-out. This condo has been in a rental program for the past 6 years and has many reviews to show just how wonderful it is: https://obx-hiddenoceangem.com/reviews/

We stay at the Golden Strand every year for our family reunion and this is the 4th year we’ve stayed in Kim’s unit! It is well maintained, well decorated, and Kim is a great host! She is quick to respond and really wants you to feel at home! We hope to continue renting from her for years to come!
