About this Property

  • 5 Bedrooms
  • 4.5 Bathrooms

Hidden in plain sight on a quiet side street in Kill Devil Hills at milepost 7.5, It's a Ruff Life features five bedrooms and is pet-friendly with a private 24'x12' pool. This home boasts a long list of amenities, and is conveniently located to both the beach and Wright Brothers Monument, each of which can be seen in the distance from one of the many decks at this family vacation oasis.

It's a Ruff Life boasts a hot tub, flat-screen TVs in every bedroom, an expanded pool area with a privacy fence, and a separate fenced-in large grassy yard with a park grill, picnic table, and cornhole boards. Speaking of bedding, It’s a Ruff Life realizes even the closest families need that private space to retreat to during their vacation. The bedrooms include two king en suites as well as another king and two queens, one with a semiprivate bath. Adding to the appeal, four of these rooms have access to either shaded or sun decks. The wide-open great room with connecting living and dining room provides the ideal area for family gatherings, such as movie night or evening dinner. The gourmet kitchen with its quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances provides a place to prepare a seafood feast that any chef would be proud to cook in.

Hard to believe with our busy beaches, but It’s a Ruff Life truly is tucked back on a side street and is still near what many would call the center of everything this area has to offer. Guests will appreciate being approximately 500 feet away from a less-traveled beach access and also only a quarter mile from the KDH life-saving station. Pet are welcome to tag along, and the Wright Brothers National Memorial provides a fantastic place for exercising with your four-legged friends.

Please note this home does not include bed linens and towels, however, an optional package can be purchased for an additional charge.

Most know The Cotton Gin as a must-stop shop for fine gifts, beachwear, souvenirs and so much more, but this retailer has a long-standing history within the Outer Banks. A local landmark that holds almost a century of memories, The Cotton Gin started from humble beginnings and continues to adapt to the times and tourists. Tommy Wright’s family has been in the Outer Banks for nearly 200 years. His great-great grandfather, Jacob Francis Wright, shipwrecked in Duck back in the early 1800s. Calling these barrier islands his new home, Wright and his family acclimated to their new environment.

 

Adaptation is a common theme for the Wright family. Tommy and his wife Candace, who continue to steer The Cotton Gin, have seen not only their business change with the times, but the Outer Banks as a vacation destination as well. A farm market in Jarvisburg eventually transformed and flourished into several retail locations dotting the Outer Banks.

 

“As the area changed and tourism took off in the 1960s, the family saw people coming for vacations, so they began to grow vegetables and things developed from there,” says Tommy Wright. The Wright family expanded upon the farm market and began to remodel a working cotton gin, later transforming the gin into The Cotton Gin general store in the late 1960s. While the additions to the farm store drew visitors, it was their encounters with the Wright family that kept people coming back year after year, which is something that remains true today.
