4073 Downtime * 2 Min Walk to Beach * Pool/Hot Tub
Make the Most out of your Downtime Everyone deserves a break, and this inviting semi-oceanfront 4-Bedroom, 2-Bathroom home in the heart of Kitty Hawk is an ideal spot to spend your Downtime. Easy beach access, private pool* & hot tub, and ocean views are just what the doctor ordered for your next vacation, and there's plenty of room for your family to relax and enjoy a memorable OBX stay. Located at Milepost 3.5 on the Beach Road, you'll get there fast and avoid the crowd. Public beach access is an easy walk away in either direction, and a beach buggy is available to be used at your convenience.
When you pull up to this alluring vacation home, get settled with parking under the Covered Carport as pass by the convenient Outdoor Shower and Laundry Room on your way to the Picnic Area/Patio where you can whip up some delicious fresh, local seafood on the grill to enjoy at the picnic table after your long drive or a fun and exciting day at the beach. Relax in the cozy, covered Hot Tub or go straight for the Private Pool* where you can enjoy the cool water or lay out on the poolside furniture to get a head start on your vacation tan.
You'll find plenty of space to hang out with the family and relax in the beautiful, brightly-lit Living Area on the Main Level with cozy couches and plenty of natural light and ocean views from the multiple, tall windows. Enjoy movie night on the large Flat Screen TV or take a cool drink out onto the Mid-Level Covered Porch with views of the ocean and fantastic sea breezes that will wash away your worries. Cook up something delicious in the Modern Kitchen, with Keurig Coffee Maker, to enjoy at the Breakfast Bar or in the picnic-style Dining Area with plenty of room for everyone to stay comfortable. Get some sleep in the Queen Bedroom, with its own TV, or in the Bedroom with 2 Twin Beds and a TV. A Full Hallway Bathroom sits between them to ensure that comfort is never too far away. In the evening, enjoy dinner or a delicious drink out on the Screened Porch, where you can relax as you listen to the sound of the ocean waves, or step out onto the back Deck and watch the stars appear in the beautiful, Outer Banks sky.
For a little extra privacy, head to the Top-Level Loft area that overlooks the Living Area below. Relax in the additional Queen Bedroom or the Bedroom with a Pyramid Bunk and Trundle, both of which have their own TV so there's no fighting over what to watch. The Top-Level Loft also has a Full Bathroom, accessible from each of the bedrooms. From the suite of modern amenities to the bright and cheery interior, Downtime is sure to put you in a vacation state of mind. Plan your escape today and discover why Downtime promises plenty of good times on the Outer Banks.
Enjoy Good Food and Local Attractions Once you arrive, you may never want to leave the comfort of this adorable cottage, but its convenient location means you can explore all the great food and local attractions the OBX has to offer. Just minutes away, the Sea Scape Golf Links course is the perfect place for the avid golfers in your group. The whole family will love taking a stroll through the Kitty Hawk Woods Coastal Reserve to see the natural landscape and awesome wildlife. For a day trip, take the family up to Corolla to see the Currituck Lighthouse and take a safari-style tour to see the Corolla wild horses. When you get hungry, Art's Place is just a short walk away and is a great place to grab a burger for lunch. For a fine dining seafood experience, walk over to Ocean Boulevard Bistro and Martini Bar.

Perfect location
The pool and location were amazing... but there were multiple things broken within the house, chair in living room, refrigerator door shelves, etc..

Perfect family getaway!
This house was absolutely perfect for my husband and our two kids. There was enough space for everyone to have their own room but also hang out together on the main floor to watch movies and cuddle on the couch.
The beach was a quick and easy walk down the road and came with lots of beach toys and even a cart that glided through the sand! It really made the trip easy with a 2 year old and a baby who can’t walk himself yet.
The pool was perfect size and has a little ledge for the kids to stand on and the hot tub was pure heavy after a long day entertaining our boys.
There was also a sand pit by the hot tub that provided hours of entertainment, it was my toddler favorite part of the whole trip!
The property manger stopped by in the morning of check in with a problem with the pool but he was incredibly nice and checked up on it a few times during the week to ensure we were ok and we’re still able to use the pool.
We’ve stayed in a lot of houses over the years but this was our first family trip with our boys and it was an amazing time. We will 100% be back! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Our vacation
Our stay was very pleasant. The swimming pool turned green on the day before we were to leave so we weren’t able to swim in it. The skillets weren’t very good, so food we cooked stuck and burnt. The house was clean and accommodated our group of ten. Overall, a very good experience.

Needs some upgrading! Nice place overall but def lacking in some basic items expected when renting
Overall it fit our needs and was cozy. Good location.
We moved the bunk bed upstairs to make it up and obviously the cleaning people have not done that - all kinds of things were under there!
Kitchen was very lacking - their frying pans were old and so scratched up. No cookie sheet except for a rusted pizza pan. They need to toss their plastic dinnerware - gross and who would use that!?
Communication prior & during our stay was very helpful.
The owners need to invest in some type of streaming option on the main TV so guests can rent movies, etc. through their own account. Very frustrating to not be able to do that and the movie channel they had would not allow us to order/pay.
Finally, the American Flag on the front needs to be taken down. It's frayed and that is a disgrace!
