The Coziest Coastal Cottage on the Outer Banks
If you're looking for a comfortable coastal bungalow for your Outer Banks hideaway, then The Captain's Quarters is it! This adorable soundside bungalow is the epitome of appeal. Ideal for a charming hideaway or a modest family, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath vacation home has everything you need to relax and appreciate everything the Outer Banks has to offer.

When you walk through the front door of this open floorplan, you will be greeted by modern furnishings with a retro charm. Parlor on the couch or one of the two upsized armchairs. Across from the living area is where you will find the dining area tucked away. It features a round table with seating for 4. The well-appointed kitchen is located on the other side of the living area. It features all of the necessities for preparing coastal cuisine and now includes a dishwasher and countertop ice maker for calming evenings with a cool drink or the ideal reprieve on a warm summer day. A buffet table offers additional kitchen storage and is also where you will find silverware, plates, retro drinkware, a Keurig and more. When it's time to retire, both bedrooms can be found across from the kitchen. One bedroom features a queen bed with a TV; the other bedroom features a full bed. Both rooms have a closet to store all of your beach clothes! The full bathroom with a shower/tub combo is located off of the kitchen as well.

Step outside onto the deck and relax on the outdoor loveseat while you soak in the sunshine and salt air. Go downstairs and head to the sizable backyard and you'll find a roomy outdoor shower - ideal for rinsing off the sand after a long day on the beach. Locals Tip: Bring your bicycles and take a ride in the evening and witness the most spectacular sunsets around!

Convenient Location for Soundside Exploration
The Captain's Quarters' prime location makes it simple for you to discover Kill Devil Hills. The Avalon Beach sound side public beach access with parking is only half a mile away. Keep heading north and you will find the sound side Hayman Pier and Gazebo, a 0.8-mile walk or bicycle ride away, and is the ideal place to watch colorful sunsets over the sound. A boat ramp access is also located close by for visitors who want to take to the water for a day of sailing, fishing, or crabbing.

One mile away you'll find a Food Lion and a Publix Supermarket for all your grocery needs, and the Wright Brothers National Memorial where you'll learn about the important role the Outer Banks played in aviation history. Craving breakfast or your morning cuppa joe? Henry's Restaurant, Ashley's Espresso Parlour, Front Porch Cafe and Dunkin Donuts are all within a mile. Also located close by is Heaven Golf & Arcade where kids of all ages will revel in miniature golf courses, a go-kart track, spin zone bumper cars, an outdoor trampoline, and more! You can try reeling in the big one off the historic 700-ft long Avalon Fishing Pier or grab lunch at Awful Arthurs across the street from the pier. For a delicious seafood dinner, try the Jolly Roger, Chilli Peppers Coastal Grille, Two Roads Tavern or the Black Pelican— which all double as great places for a cold drink on a hot summer evening! Several wine bars, sweet stores and ice cream parlors also wait to indulge you within 2 miles. With so many enchanting amenities inside and so many options within a few miles of your doorstep, you'll want to stay at The Captain's Quarters year after year!

Strategies to get the best vacation rental experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your Kill Devil Hills rental property in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Kill Devil Hills visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides contain money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

Selecting the perfect rental in Kill Devil Hills:

• First and foremost, have your family decide on date ranges and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. 5041 The Captains Quarters *1 Block to Boat Access has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Kill Devil Hills rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible online. If they are not listed, email the host before you reserve the rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or charges could be applied to your agreement.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

Advice for your stay:

• Add the host's contact information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many issues.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Record any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your life at home. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good feedback to compel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
