Overview

Whatever the season, good times are in bloom at The Gardenia House, a beautiful 12-bedroom oceanfront estate at Milepost 8 in Kill Devil Hills. With over 8,000 square feet of living space that incorporate twelve bedrooms and many common areas, this seaside mansion can comfortably accommodate a multi-family group. Relax by the pool, or enjoy the spectacular views of the ocean and the Wright Brothers National Memorial. Indoor entertainment choices range from billiards to a home theater. Ocean proximity of this estate is a highlight - the waves of the Atlantic are just over the dunes, accessible by a private beach walkway. Start each day with a stroll along the shore or a dip in the sea.

Pool: Pool heated by a dual natural gas heat pump. Max pool temperature is 80 degrees.

Special Access Amenities: A ground floor king bathroom has roll under sink, shower with grab bars and seat. Please note that none of our homes are ADA compliant. Contact our office for additional information.

Path To Beach: Due to shifting ocean currents and wind, it is normal for sand to accumulate on this home's beach steps and walkway.

We have been vacationing in OBX for 12 years and each year our family trip grows so we needed a larger house this year and I came across Carolina Designs and The Gardenia House, this house is beautiful and every detail for a great vacation was thought of. To the layout of the home to the fully stocked kitchen to the outdoor space it was beautiful and amazing. Your employees from the call center to maintenance to the house cleaners deserve a pat on the back! Thank You for a great vacation.

My whole family loved this house, including the kids! You could tell that the owner put a lot of thought into all of the details. Everything was extremely comfortable, and they even went the extra step to label light switches, remotes, bedrooms, where things were and how they worked, etc. My family is already asking to rent this house again. Overall, I can't say enough positive things about my experience with Carolina Designs.
