Kill Devil Hills, NC
Kill Devil Hills Vacation Rentals
The town of Kill Devil Hills is found directly south of Kitty Hawk and is situated in the geographic middle of the OBX beaches.
It was on Kill Devil Hill that the Wright Brothers made the first controlled, powered flight (although historians often note Kitty Hawk, NC as the birthplace of flight). Today, Kill Devil Hills is considered one of most popular destination spots for visitors to the Outer Banks.
Located in the heart of the Outer Banks, Kill Devil Hills offers endless recreation and dining opportunities. Spend your days on the beach soaking up rays or up on the sand dunes flying a kite or hang gliding. Visit Avalon Pier to do a little fishing, and end your day with a visit to one of the many restaurants (from fine dining to fast food) in the area.
You also won’t want to miss the Wright Brothers National Memorial and Museum and Wright Brothers Memorial Monument, which sits atop Kill Devil Hill and stands another 60 feet high. This hill gave the town its name. The name “kill devil” itself is believed to have come from a brand of rum that washed ashore during the colonial period.
Today, Kills Devil Hills is the perfect place to enjoy an Outer Banks vacation. Accommodation options in Kill Devil Hills are plentiful, including numerous hotel, motel, and bed & breakfast establishments. And like anywhere on the Outer Banks, there are many Rental Agencies that offer Kill Devil Hills Oceanfront vacation homes, beach houses between the highways, and Kill Devil Hills beach cottages and other rentals on the sound.
