There are 3 bedrooms (two queen rooms and a double twin bunk room), 2 full baths, a covered front porch with bistro table and chairs, and a downstairs ping pong table and laundry area. The enormous driveway has parking for four cars and is long enough for just about any boat and trailer. You will savor all the amenities of home and then some, including high-speed internet, ample seating in living and dining rooms, central AC/heat, ceiling fans, washer and dryer, full kitchen with dishwasher and microwave, and the necessary full pot/K-Cup combo coffee maker.

Location-wise, it doesn't get much better! It's walking distance to loads of eateries to include Mama Kwans (a locals favorite!), Woo Casa, Food Dudes, Kill Devil Grille, JKs, 3 Tequilas, Pigmans BBQ, Daredevil Pizza, Millers, American Pie, Stack Em High Pancakes, Country Deli, and Booty Treats. Swells'a Brewing, just opened less than a mile from the home & it ideally accommodates both adults and kids.

Much more shopping is a short drive away, including Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, Walgreens, and tons of specialty beach stores. Like to pack heavy for the beach? There are public beach accesses with parking tons at both Martin and Atlantic Streets (5 min. walk or just a 2 min. drive!). Access to The Nature Conservancy's Nags Head Woods Preserve is just a few streets away and Jockeys Ridge State Park + the Wright Brothers Memorial are just a short car or bicycle ride away (we highly recommend all three!). Want to interact with some awe-inspiring sea turtles? The NC Aquarium on Roanoke Island is just 25 mins. away! There are also many water sports rental businesses within a short drive with jet skis, kayaks, boats, and other fun water toys. Is fishing your thing? Both the Nags Head & Oregon Inlet Fishing Centers are just a short trek to the south.

To keep our prices low, we do not provide linens but if you cannot bring yours, we will be happy to provide a list of close by businesses that rent linens and other vacation needs (beach chairs, infant needs, etc.) by the week.

We have the following additional items for your enjoyment around the bungalow and at the beach: 4-burner gas grille with propane supplied, bicycles, and corn hole boards.

*** Dog lovers are welcome!!! Up to two dogs allowed but must be kennel (crate) kept if left home alone. One huge and one medium kennel supplied - if you bring two huge dogs you will need to bring a 2nd sizable kennel. The back yard is fenced to give your dog (or your kids!) a safe place to play. ***

Tips and Tricks to get the best Kill Devil Hills rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• In the Kill Devil Hills area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Book your rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Kill Devil Hills area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have discounts for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to select the best rental home:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. New Year, New Memories at the Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is regularly available online. If not, email or call the property owner before you reserve the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what configuration is best for your trip.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, search for a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Kill Devil Hills attraction you love, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• At Check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to stimulate new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
