Located within the gated sound side community of Colington Harbour, this gorgeously decorated 3-bedroom vacation rental home in Kill Devil Hills promises to provide exactly what you need to make your upcoming Outer Banks vacation the best one yet. Thanks to its amazing waterfront location along one of the many canals that wind their way through this coveted community, The Bird House is the ideal vacation rental home for outdoor enthusiasts. Appreciate simple and direct access to the calm waters of the canal that lies along the edge of the property. Here you can hop on your kayak or standup paddleboard and head out for a calming excursion along the canal—or make the journey to the place where the canal flows out into the Roanoke Sound for a more adventurous excursion on the water.

On the Main Level of this home, step inside and appreciate a calming waterfront afternoon in the cavernous Living Area with comfortable furnishings and a Flat Screen TV for painless movie nights or entertainment on a rainy day. Pop on over to the Kitchen where you can make a delicious meal of fresh, local seafood for your whole family to savor at the close by open-concept Dining Area or the convenient Breakfast Bar in the center of the Kitchen. Pass by the Laundry Closet with a Washer and Dryer on your way back to the back where you'll find three bedrooms ideal for getting some rest before appreciating another day of appealing Outer Banks adventures and outdoor exploration. Choose from the Queen Master Bedroom, an additional Queen Bedroom, or the Bedroom with a Double Bed, giving everybody plenty of space to relax and savor the tranquility and peaceful of life on the canal.

Step out onto the Canalfront deck with your morning cup of coffee for a brilliant sunrise over the waterfront and plenty of birdwatching before taking your boat out onto into the canal for fun times and excursions like fishing or general exploring. Be sure to take advantage of the Colington Harbour Community Conveniences with a sound access, a playground for the kids, a sheltered picnic area, a basketball court, and a boat launch if you'd rather go straight out onto the sound! Once you've spent the week out on the water while staying at The Bird House, you'll want to keep coming back year after year for this exceptional waterfront experience.

Try a tasty slice from Colington Pizza (they even deliver!) or sample a crab benedict and mimosa for Sunday brunch at The Saltbox Café.

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

Sticking to a rental budget:

• The earlier you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Summertime is high season in Kill Devil Hills. To get the best value, shift your family's Kill Devil Hills vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area visitor guide magazines which include money-saving deals, either offered independently 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 grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing the best vacation home:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. 5531 The Bird House * Waterfront has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is often available online. Otherwise, email the property manager before booking your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or charges might be applied to your invoice.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the owner's information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• To make sure that no damages are linked to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. Speak to the host right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean 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.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
