Updates for 2024 Season: New Furniture, New Refrigerator, New Dishwasher, Completely New Front Deck & Crow's Nest!! ​​​​​​​ Beach Box with Local Charm If you've been thinking that your family needs a relaxing beach vacation, we know just the place! Your family will love Turtle's Nest—a classic Kitty Hawk beach box with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and plenty of Outer Banks charm! On top of the ocean views from your crow's nest, you'll also enjoy a short walk (5-minute/0.2-miles) to the nearest beach access on Balchen St. There are two driveways and a carport beneath each side of the home providing plenty of parking space. A small laundry room downstairs contains a washer and dryer. Before coming inside after a fun day of splashing in the waves, you can easily rinse off in the outdoor shower. Pick up a few burgers at the grocery store and throw them on the charcoal grill for an easy summer cookout! Walk into the spacious great room with comfortable furniture, nautical touches and plenty of natural light shining in through the large windows and sliding deck doors. The living area is situated around a 60” Large Screen TV/DVD making it easy for everyone to gather together for a family movie night. Both beginner and experienced chefs alike will appreciate the gourmet kitchen with beautiful white cabinets, black countertops, modern stainless-steel appliances, dual sinks and a wine cooler. The kitchen bar seats 3—perfect for a quick snack! When it comes time for a formal sit-down family dinner, there is additional seating in the adjoining dining area for 6-8. The dining area also features access to the sun deck with a picnic table for dining outdoors on those cool, summer evenings. For a view of the Atlantic, climb up to the Oceanview Crow's Nest with built-in seating. Utilizing the convenient “H” floorplan, you'll find 2 bedrooms and a bathroom on both sides of the main living area, each decorated with bright colors and coastal finishes. You'll have the sweetest of dreams in one Queen Bedroom with "sea blue" walls to promote ultimate serenity. A second Queen Bedroom is a bit brighter utilizing shades of blue, sage green, and royal purple and enjoys direct deck access. A third Queen Bedroom also has deck access and takes on a light and fun approach with coral-colored walls and decor. The final bedroom contains 2 Twin Beds featuring a Pirate ship theme that the kids are sure to love! Each bathroom is also decorated featuring a single vanity, large mirror, cabinet for storage and a nautical shower curtain for the tub/shower combo. Great Location with Excellent Dining Options Located in Northern Kitty Hawk between milepost 2 and 4, visitors to Turtle's Nest will appreciate having local shops, restaurants and local attractions all within easy driving distance. From fish tacos at Bad Bean Baja Grill or broiled seafood platters at Shipwreck's Taphouse & Grill to a burger from Spanky's Grill or a full plate of every type of seafood imaginable at Jimmy's Seafood Buffett, your dining options are literally endless for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Pick up a souvenir from the local Wings, grab your fishing supplies from T.W.'s Tackle, and enjoy an array of nearby grocery stores for all your supply needs including Walmart, Harris Teeter and Food Lion. A relaxing stroll through the Kitty Hawk Woods Coastal Reserve is a great way to spot the local flora and fauna. Golf enthusiasts in your group will want to check out the nearby 18-hole Sea Scape Golf Links golf course for a peaceful afternoon.

Seaside Vacations was great to work with, and super easy to communicate with. I was able to talk to a person easily when I called about early check in and I received all of the information I needed via email and text very thoroughly and efficiently.

Family beach vacation? You will definitely enjoy your stay at “Turtles Nest”. Accommodations are endless from local restaurants, shopping, grocery stores, etc. The only “complaint” we had was a lack of seating primary around the dining table. We had to use director chairs to supplement dining chairs, which weren’t the most comfortable. However, you’ll find plenty of cookware, utensils and other household items to use. No need to transport anything. Just enjoy your stay.

This is a very comfortable house for a large family close to the beach. About a 7 minute walk carrying beach gear. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!
