The Way Back: Cozy Cottage Steps to Beach + Hot Tub + Coffee with Private Suite

The Way Back – Classic OBX Cottage Just Steps from the Beach

The Way Back is a charming and unique cottage in Kill Devil Hills that captures the laid-back spirit of the Outer Banks. With its distinctive floor plan and cozy character, this local Historic Landmark home offers a comfortable retreat for families and small groups looking to relax, explore, and enjoy the beach lifestyle. The main portion of the home features two inviting bedrooms, one full bathroom, and a convenient half bath, along with a fully equipped kitchen and comfortable living room—perfect for gathering after a day by the ocean. Just outside the back door, a covered breezeway leads to a private master suite addition that includes another half bath and a laundry area, creating a quiet and separate space for added privacy. Outside, you’ll find plenty of ways to unwind. Soak in the hot tub after a day in the sun, enjoy meals together at the picnic table, or fire up the propane grill for an easy evening cookout. Location is one of this cottage’s greatest perks. The beach is just a very short walk away, making sunrise strolls and sunset swims effortless. Within about three minutes on foot, you can also visit local favorites Ashley’s Espresso Parlour & Roasting Co. for fresh coffee (and local beverages) or Mom’s Sweet Shop, famous for serving some of the best milkshakes in the Outer Banks. Whether you’re relaxing at the cottage, enjoying the outdoor amenities, or exploring nearby shops and the shoreline, The Way Back offers a warm, welcoming place to experience everything the OBX has to offer.
