The place was re-designed in 2017 with an open flow to provide our guests a modern coastal living experience all while maintaining its original 1950's bungalow appeal. Older beach bungalows, like this, can come with some imperfections. Your vacation is important to us, please read the entire listing descriptions to ensure the Avalon Beach Bungalow is a fit for you and your group.

Indoor Bathroom:
We have one bathroom inside - no tub - that features a modest glass-enclosed shower and a multi-use shower head.

Outdoor Shower:
Most of our guests favorite place to shower is outside in the vintage masonry enclosed outdoor shower. This enclosure is very private and comes with a exhilarating "rain shower" head for those hot summer beach days. In the winter months our guests can appreciate the warmth of the modest wood burning stove that makes this time of year to visit more special!

As local owners, we are passionate about coastal living and savor the opportunity to share our beach homes we appreciate so much with our guests.

Our cleaning process continues to evolve by implementing recommended CDC guidelines. Further, we take additional steps and train cleaners in any new cleaning standards through our “Sparkling Clean” training program.

Pet Friendly Guidelines:
•$25 per nighttime for one dog (one dog max. only)

We adore dogs and are happy to have your four legged family members at our bungalows. Just let us know you are bringing your dog and the breed.

Property & Preference Disclaimer:

We appreciate our OBX bungalow, it's a great home. Like most older homes, it is not ideal, so may not be a fit for every group. Our primary objective is to ensure the safety and comfort of our guests, so we hope you understand, though rare, if a significant weather event is forecasted during a reservation there may be an impact. We have found many guest visitors to the Outer Banks consider purchasing vacation rental travel insurance as additional protection and tranquility of mind.

Check Out Etiquette: We put a lot of time and effort into delivering great stays for our guests. If deliberate damage, disrespect or lack of cleanliness is identified during the check out inspection, the guest of record will be charged costs to compensate our cleaners and ensure the property is ready for incoming guests.

Local Area Info:
We also appreciate sharing our favorite local places to eat and things to do. We created a guide that our guests have found helpful in planning their OBX adventure and are happy to share any specific food/activity recommendations our guests are looking for. After reserving, just ask!

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation home experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in Kill Devil Hills. Reserve your Kill Devil Hills rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area visitors guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

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

• Choose your dates and max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Renovated & Clean 'Original' OBX Bungalow, Direct Beach & Pier Access + EZ Cart has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible online. If they are not listed, call the property management company before reserving the home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure that damages are not attributed to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon check in. Contact the rental manager immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on good feedback to compel new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
