Jarvis Landing Owner Stories Part 1

From the Open Road to a Maintenance-Free Haven: One Couple’s Journey Back to the Outer Banks

After years of hard work, retirement often brings with it the question: What’s next? For one adventurous couple, the answer was simple—freedom. They built a home in Kill Devil Hills and then hit the road in their RV, spending three years exploring the country and embracing life on the move. But when the time came to settle down again, they knew they wanted to return to the Outer Banks—the place that always felt like home.

That’s when they discovered Jarvis Landing.

As they toured model townhomes, they were immediately drawn to the thoughtful design, easy living, and community atmosphere. During one of their visits, they even had the opportunity to meet John, our builder, who took the time to answer all their questions. That personal touch made all the difference and reassured them that this wasn’t just a place to live—it was a place to belong.

One of the biggest draws? The maintenance-free lifestyle. After years of mowing lawns and managing home upkeep, they were ready for a change. At Jarvis Landing, yard work is a thing of the past. They can spend more time doing what they love—whether that’s relaxing by the pool, traveling without worry, or simply enjoying the coastal charm of the OBX—without the stress of outdoor maintenance.

They also loved that the community pool is available to enjoy without the hassle or cost of managing one themselves. It’s all the perks, none of the pressure.

Now, they’ve planted new roots at Jarvis Landing and are embracing a lifestyle that gives them the best of both worlds: the freedom they enjoyed on the road, and the comfort of being back in the Outer Banks community they’ve always loved.
