Roomy and Charming Oceanside Cottage in KDH
Appreciate a classic Outer Banks vacation experience with all the amenities of home and then some with a stay at the picture-ideal Bristow's Bungalow. Located between the highways just before milepost 6, this beach getaway is wonderfully close to a host of eateries, stores, and attractions, as well as the sunny Kill Devil Hills beaches, with a public beach access located just a 5-min. walk away. With a wealth of enticing OBX sites at your fingertips, Bristow's Bungalow is a fine launching point for any coastal adventure.

On the Ground Level, appreciate plenty of parking and a cavernous Covered Carport for staying out of the sun. Cook up some fresh local seafood or your own fresh catch from the close by Avalon Fishing Pier on the Charcoal Grille for dinner. 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.

When you're ready to savor outdoor relaxation, enjoy both a Covered Deck and a Furnished Sun Deck right outside your front door with constructed-in benches and plenty of comfortable furnishings that is ideal for calming with your favorite beach read or a cool drink as you take in the sights and sounds of the evening. In the Living Area, enjoy being surrounded by cozy wooden paneling as you lay back on the soft furnishings and enjoy a movie on the Flat Screen TV. Cook up some snacks or a delicious dinner close by in the Kitchen with all modern appliances and seating at the Breakfast Bar for 3. The close by Dining Area offers comfortable seating for 6 and is great for appreciating a home-cooked meal in the ideal home away from home.

Just down the hall, you'll find 3 elegantly decorated bedrooms with plenty of space to catch some z's in preparation for another day of impressive Outer Banks fun. Unwind in the Queen Master Suite with a Private Bathroom with a enormous 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 striking 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. Whether you spend your days playing on the beach, casting your line out in the ocean, or exploring fun stores around town, Brustow's Bungalow will be the vacation destination for the whole family.

Getting the best vacation property experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Kill Devil Hills area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have coupons for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• To start, have your group select a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. 5005 Bristow's Bungalow * 4 Min Walk to Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally available online. If not, email the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's an individual Kill Devil Hills attraction you long to visit, browse homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• Some properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• During check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
