**NEW! Backyard remodel newly finished! Located in the heart of Kill Devil Hills, on the handsome Outer Banks of North Carolina, Serenity lives up to its name: a relaxing, newly restored and refurnished beach home that is so gorgeous and serene, you will want to move in and stay forever! Please note: all of our guests are required to be non-smokers only. We are proud to offer a smoke-complimentary haven to our guests and do not allow smokers in our home whether they smoke outside or not. If anyone in your group is a smoker, this home is not for you. Serenity is a two story home ideal for two families with a 2nd story front porch entrance and a 1st story side entrance. Upstairs you will find an open floor plan with a living room; a entirely equipped kitchen including everything an avid chef could want on vacation; as well as a elegant new dining room set, which seats six. There are four additional bar stools at the roomy kitchen bar. There is a king master suite, a bedroom with two twins, and a queen bedroom, with an additional full bathroom on the top floor. Downstairs has step complimentary access with another striking family room, complete with a really nice Shelti foosball table and a Nintendo game system, a kitchenette with many kitchen essentials, a queen master suite as well as a kids' room with a pyramid bunk (full on bottom and twin on top.)
There are Intelligent TV's in the upstairs living room, each bedroom upstairs, the downstairs family room, the downstairs queen master, and the garage entertainment area with Netflix and Disney+ subscriptions.
Attached is a garage with washer and dryer and a fun outdoor entertainment setup with a TV, comfortable chairs, beach toys, beach chairs, 2 beach carts, a huge Neso beach canopy, four Huffy beach cruisers, a mountain bicycle, and a kid's bicycle, a wave ski (surf kayak), and a canoe and kayak in the backyard, ideal for viewing the beautiful sunsets in the sound just west of the home. On the front porch are four cozy chairs, ideal for appreciating that early morning cup of coffee as the sun comes up over the distant ocean, quietly flooding the waking neighborhood with its warm glow.
**NEW: We have freshly finished an broad, fenced-in backyard renovation complete with a NEW HOT TUB, beautiful sectional couch and a dining table with 6 chairs that are located under a shade canopy. Also freshly added is a fire pit surrounded by 3 super comfortable Nags Head Hammock swings. In one corner of the yard hangs a cozy hammock as well as a clothesline on the opposite fence for those wet swim suits and beach towels.
Serenity sits about 1/2 mile west from the beach, just a straight shot down the peaceful, neighborhood street, across the main highway, and straight ahead to the public beach access. We are very close to the sound side with a really nice bicycle trail that runs for miles, passing through the Wright Brothers Memorial.
**NEW: Linen and towel service supplied!
**PLEASE NOTE: Any stay longer than 10 days will require an additional cleaning and inspection of the property at the end of each week. The guest agrees to pay these additional costs.
**This bungalow is for non-smokers only, both inside as well as outside on our property, due to the severe allergies of owners as well as frequent guests. No smokers are allowed at this property.

Booking the best Kill Devil Hills vacation rental experience:
Finding your perfect vacation home:
- The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
- To book the best vacation home for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at Kill Devil Hills restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. 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, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
- Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
- Booking websites often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
- Find a copy of your local Kill Devil Hills area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines have coupons for nearby accommodations and attractions.
Choosing the perfect rental in Kill Devil Hills:
- Start by selecting your a vacation week and a spending budget.
- Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. New Hot Tub & New Backyard! 5 Bdrm has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
- Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the property owner before you reserve the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what is optimal for your group.
- Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.
- Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
- Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
Know before you go:
- Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
- Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few issues.
- Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
- Record any issues with the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if a dispute arises.
- Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your life at home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
- Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
- Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. 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 your family have a fantastic time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
