With a wealth of enticing OBX sites at your fingertips, Bristow's Bungalow is a fine launching point for any coastal adventure.

Be sure to rinse off in the Outdoor Shower before heading inside and don't forget to toss those sandy beach towels in the downstairs Washer and Dryer before going upstairs. Midweek washes are a breeze when you don't have to worry about lugging wet beach towels and sandy bathing suits upstairs for a rinse.

Unwind in the Queen Master Suite with a Private Bathroom with a sizable Shower or the additional Queen Bedroom and Bedroom with a Double Bed that's ideal for the kids or the rest of the family. And since you're just a 5-min. walk from Avalon Pier, you'll want to get all the rest you can before enjoying a fun, appealing day of surf, sand, and sun without even having to hop in the car! Don't forget to bring your favorite canine family member, as this home also accepts one family pupper (with an additional fee).

Savor the Fun of Kill Devil Hills
Bristow's Bungalow is less than half a mile away from the Avalon Fishing Pier, meaning that you can make your way there in a flash for a fun day of fishing, dining, and sightseeing. There are also plenty of striking eateries close by, including Awful Arthur's Oyster Bar and their famed Beach Shop, the Front Porch Cafe for an handsome cup of coffee, and The Jolly Roger just down the street. A few miles to the south, visit Jockey's Ridge State Park and climb the tallest sand dune on the Atlantic coast. Head north and stop by the Wright Brothers National Monument to learn about America's history of aviation and the first powered flight that occurred right off the local sand dunes! Afterward, swing by Lost Treasure Golf to try your luck at a fun treasure-themed mini-golf course or, if it's raining, catch the latest Blockbuster at the close by movie theater.

How to find the best Kill Devil Hills vacation rental experience:

When to visit Kill Devil Hills & When to reserve a Kill Devil Hills rental home:

• In the Kill Devil Hills area, The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• To get the largest rental home within budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Kill Devil Hills attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Some owners offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area visitor guide magazines which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and choosing the rightrental:

• Start by choosing a vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group needs. 5005 Bristow's Bungalow * 4 Min Walk to Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the host before you reserve the property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Get specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of problems.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
