Ocean-View 3BR/3BA Resort Condo — Elevator, Pools & Spa
This thoughtfully designed two-level oceanfront condominium delivers the best of Outer Banks resort living. At 1,953 sq ft, Unit 3E offers three full bedrooms and three baths with a layout that separates living and sleeping wings for privacy and rental flexibility. The main living level features hardwood floors, a dramatic tray ceiling, built-in bookshelves and an elegant electric fireplace that anchors the living room. Sliding glass doors open to a private balcony with an ocean view — a natural gathering place for evening breezes and sunset glimpses.
The kitchen is appointed with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops; bathrooms feature ceramic tile and artistically tiled showers. One bedroom and full bath are conveniently located on the main living level; a staircase leads to two generous ensuite bedrooms downstairs — a configuration popular with families, multi-generation stays, and high-performing vacation rentals. Practical touches include under-building covered parking, assigned storage, and elevator access to this third-floor residence.
The resort setting is a major differentiator: enjoy a large saltwater heated oceanfront pool, indoor heated pool, outdoor spa, indoor spa, oceanside gazebo, fitness center, kiddie spray playground, and arcade/game area — all maintained by the community. The HOA covers many operating items (water, sewer, cable/internet, and exterior maintenance including decks, roof, siding and windows), simplifying ownership for absentee investors and second-home buyers. The unit is offered fully furnished and move-in ready for immediate use or rental management.
Located on N Virginia Dare Trail in Kill Devil Hills, the property places you steps from public beach access and a short drive from local dining, grocery and seasonal retail. Whether you are purchasing as a vacation rental investment or seeking a low-maintenance oceanfront retreat, this turnkey condo is ready for the season.

Residents enjoy a relaxed coastal lifestyle with easy access to local restaurants, fishing piers, and recreation. The neighborhood blends seasonal rental activity with a stable base of full-time residents.
Immediate access to oceanfront recreation — swimming, beachcombing, fishing, and on-site resort pools and fitness center yield strong outdoor leisure options year-round.
A factual market snapshot around 1319 N Virginia Dare Trl.
Kill Devil Hills and the Outer Banks are a seasonal, tourism-driven market where oceanfront condominiums command a durable premium. Buyer demand is strongest among vacation-rental investors and second-home buyers seeking turnkey, amenity-rich properties. Over the last several years the area has seen steady appreciation driven by limited oceanfront supply and strong summer occupancy. Inventory tightness during booking season can produce competitive offers — however, sales cadence softens in winter months, so pricing strategy and timing matter. This unit’s recent sales history (closed $635k in 2023) and the current list at $743k reflect both market appreciation and the premium attached to turnkey, elevator-served oceanfront condos with indoor/outdoor heated pools and strong on-site management.
