Welcome to the Slow Pace cottage. A 1945 original Outer Banks cottage built on the Sea Ranch property. This beautiful cottage was moved to it's current location in the 1960's. It was completely renovated in the Spring of 2021 providing a cozy, comfortable place to relax and get away from it all. Centrally located between the Bypass and the Beach Road in Kill Devil Hills.

Booking during Hurricane Season (June 1st-Nov. 30th):
Booking a stay on our little sandbar during Hurricane season is always a little risky. These storms are unpredictable and can occur most often days or maybe a week before your stay. As listed, we have a strict cancellation policy which allows for a full refund within the first 48 hours as long as the check-in date is at least 14 days away, a 50% refund for cancellations made at least 7 days before check-in, and no refunds for cancellations made within 7 days of check-in. If there were a mandatory evacuation while you were staying we would then give a full refund for the days that were affected by this action made by Dare County. If you choose to leave but no mandatory evacuation was issued you will not receive a refund. Some guests choose to purchase their own travel insurance policy through an independent company if they are nervous about this. Some of the most beautiful times of the year on the Outer Banks are during Hurricane season, but our policies are important for you to consider when booking.
