Pamper your Royal Family with a Stay at Queen Elizabeth's Castle
Stay at Queen Elizabeth's Castle and vacation like royalty! With great ocean vistas, and a central Outer Banks location with simple beach access, this elegant home on the beach road (NC 12) offers all the amenities your family could possibly want and certainly deserve on vacation. Located a short distance from where the Wright Brothers made their first successful flight, Queen Elizabeth's Castle has direct beach access (with a lifeguard) within just 100 feet of the end of the driveway. Custom interiors in bright colors accent this home's 4-level design, and for an added dose of relaxation, your family can appreciate the warm, bubbly Hot Tub or relax on the deck after a long day at the beach. Savor a amazing view of the ocean from the Living Area, Sun Deck, and Ship's Watch. Visit Queen Elizabeth's Castle and plan to make it a part of your yearly vacation plans.

When you pull up to the Ground Level of this impressive beach home, you'll see that it's time to begin your epic Outer Banks vacation. Cook up some fresh seafood outside on the Park-Style Grille or prepare your own catch of the day on the Fish Cleaning Table. Unwind on the Hammock Swing under the home and rinse off in the Enclosed Outdoor Shower before heading upstairs to relax. For a little more outdoor fun, savor the Regulation Horseshoe Pit to release a little steam with some friendly competition, or make your way over to the Outer Banks YMCA for a workout class or a fun family program!

On the Ground Level, take advantage of a little additional privacy with 2 Covered Entries to begin your vacation fun. Take the 1st door on the side entry into the Laundry Area, which is ideally located for painless mid-week washes and access to clean beach towels without having to lug your sandy clothes upstairs. When you're ready to head upstairs, simply take the stairway up to the Middle Level. Back outside, through the 2nd door, you'll find a super-fun Game Room with a Ping Pong Table and Cornhole Boards to take outside for a little additional excitement.

On the Middle Level, you'll find the Main Entrance as well as a comfortable Den with a Queen Sleeper Couch that's great for calming after a day at the beach or finding an additional place to rest for everybody in your family group. If you're looking for somewhere for everybody else to get some rest, choose from the Queen Bedroom with an adjoining Bathroom, the additional Queen Bedroom, or the Bunk Room with 2 Sets of Bunk Beds that's just ideal for the kids. A Full Hallway Bathroom is accessible close by to keep everybody cozy. And when you're ready to enjoy those fresh, ocean breezes, step out onto the Mid-Level Furnished Deck where you'll find a warm, bubbly Hot Tub to relax in and rest those muscles while you watch the stars appear in the nighttime sky.

The Top Level offers the ideal place to enjoy handsome vistas of the ocean as well as time with the people you adore. Unwind in the Living Area with a Flat Screen TV and cozy chairs for family movie nighttime or move on over to the Living Area near the glass sliding doors to the Furnished Deck where you can enjoy plenty of brilliant light and gorgeous vistas. Impress the family with your cooking skills in the Kitchen with modern appliances to enjoy at the Bar or in the Dining Area with seating for 10. For a little al fresco dining, take your meal out onto the picnic table where you can watch the clouds roll by and feel the salt off the ocean while you dine. Back inside, get a little additional privacy with the Queen Master Bedroom with a Private Bathroom. Make your way up the outside stairs to the Crow's Nest for spectacular vistas of the ocean and unbeatable breezes that will have you coming back year after year to enjoy this jewel of a vacation home.

Our top Vacation rental tips:

Get the best rental value:

• Summer is the most expensive season in Kill Devil Hills. Booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 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 disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines contain discounts for nearby tours and attractions.

Choosing the best vacation rental in the Kill Devil Hills area:

• Start by selecting potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration you need. 5110 Queen Elizabeth's Castle * Across from Beach has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking pages. If not, email the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine what configuration is right for your vacation.
• If there's a particular Kill Devil Hills attraction you are enamored with, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the owner about pet restrictions before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to compel new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
