With great ocean vistas, and a central Outer Banks location with simple beach access, this impressive 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 fantastic 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 charming 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 handsome 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.

Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer months are high season in Kill Devil Hills. To book the largest vacation home within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Kill Devil Hills restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. 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 your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Kill Devil Hills visitors guide 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, travel guide magazines have discounts for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Make a plan and choose the best Kill Devil Hills vacation home:

• Start by choosing your a vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 5110 Queen Elizabeth's Castle * Across from Beach has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible online. Otherwise, email the property owner before reserving your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or costs could be applied to your contract.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. message the property manager immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
