"Finding Marlin" is located in a primarily year-round quiet residential neighborhood in Kill Devil Hills. It is a short 15-minute walk with light and a crosswalk to the nearest public beach access with a lifeguard. We are one block from the sound side multi-use path. (Sunsets!) This 3-story house has 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms. The large backyard has an in-ground pool, hot tub, and privacy fence. The pool is available Apr-Oct. (It is not heated.) The hot tub is available year-round

The space
Enjoy privacy and fun with a beautiful in-ground pool and hot tub in our fenced-in, private backyard. The pool is open from approximately the first week in April through October depending on weather patterns. The hot tub is open year-round. Pool will close 10/15/24.

The loft-style 3rd floor has 1 queen bedroom and one bedroom with a "pyramid" single over double bunk bed with a shared "Jack and Jill" bathroom. There is also a reading nook with a futon on this level. Both 3rd-floor bedrooms feature balconies, and you can enjoy sunset views from the sound facing 3rd-floor bedroom.

The second-floor living room has informal dining for 6 people in the main living room area and a sunny "Florida Room" breakfast/dining area adjacent to the fully stocked kitchen. There is outside access through the front door on that level as well as a back door with decking, outdoor seating group, and access to the backyard pool area. There is 1 queen bedroom that shares access to a full bathroom with the common areas on this floor.

All 3 bedrooms feature comfortable mattresses and desks/workspaces perfect for distance schooling or working from home.

The ground floor features access to the backyard and the pool, foosball table, couch, full bathroom, and laundry facilities, as well as another nook with a table and stool that can serve as a 4th desk in the house for work or school needs.

In addition to the pool and hot tub, the backyard features a gas grill, a fire pit, and an outdoor shower.

Other things to note
Pool opens the first week of April and closes mid to late October. The hot tub is available year-round. Please let us know when booking in the off season that you plan to use it and we will schedule service before your check-in.

TVs are smart TVs with streaming only. There is no live cable tv in the house.

We supply the first roll of paper towels and toilet paper in each bathroom. Guests are responsible for further paper product needs.

Please inquire or book with the ACTUAL total number of guests who will be staying at the house when booking. If the total number of guests changes at any time, please let us know so we have an accurate idea of how many people will be staying in the house.

The house is family-friendly but is not childproof. You are responsible for appropriate safety precautions for your children.

Pool and lawn service vendors are independent contractors. They provide services at their own schedule and may come on to the property (outside only) from time to time during your stay. Please do NOT lock the gate to the backyard.

If you use the grill, please clean it for the next guests before your departure. If you use a propane tank or one runs out during your stay, please let us know so we can be sure to replenish it for the next guests.

We only provide sheets for actual beds. If you need to use the futon for your stay you must request sheets in advance.

You must roll out the trash carts for pickup. In season on Monday and Thursday night and in the off season on Monday night only.

Thank you in advance. We look forward to having you and your family as our guests.

Neighborhood highlights

"Finding Marlin" is in a mostly residential/second home neighborhood with light and crosswalk to cross the main "highway" between us and the beach access. This is a very safe but busy neighborhood full of year-round residents as well as vacationers, dogs, and children. Walk and bike on the paved public, multi-use path that runs along the sound side with gazebos and public accesses. The beach is a 15-minute walk or 8-10 minute bike ride to public beach access with a light and crosswalk across the main thoroughfare and lifeguard station in season. Putt-putt, go-carts, a produce stand, ice cream, a coffee shop, and several restaurants are located within walking or biking - or golf cart (rentals available) distance.
