Welcome to Live Swell Beach Bungalows. Here our guests refresh from reality while appreciating elements of coastal living and the laid-back surf lifestyle.

We are passionate about the beach, coastal living and the opportunity to share the lifestyle we appreciate so much with our guests.

Our "Salt Box" style beach bungalow was constructed in 1982, is 950 square feet and features a loft. It sits on a private cut of property in a safe cul de sac with mostly year round residents.

The space is ideal for:
• Couples
• Modest active families or groups of friends
• 5 people comfortably, 6 people if ya'll get along well

Since we have had the Bungalow we have finished a lot of upgrades to the home that many of our guests appreciate. The sizable outdoor shower with an upsized rain-shower head is highly exhilarating on hot summer days and feels amazing after the beach. On the right days and at the right times, the french doors open up completely to the front deck which adds an airy flow and the feel of and indoor-outdoor living space. The kitchen was themed with a distressed nautical look, open cabinets and contains most of the necessities for a chef. Our favorite hang out area is the great room, which has an open set up, vaulted ceilings and a "BigAss" Brand Haiku Fan, which, feels hypnotic like the soft drone of a helicopter propeller.

To us, a very clean bungalow is of the utmost importance for our guests upon arrival. In fact, our bungalows have always had very high cleanliness standards and though cleaning + inspection process. Recently, we have taken our cleaning process to the next level by implementing recommended CDC guidelines. Between each guest stay our beach bungalows are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized with EPA approved disinfectants on surfaces and common touch points.

We appreciate our OBX bungalow, it's a great home yet, like most homes it is not ideal and not for everybody. We respect that folks have different preferences and world vistas. If your looking for a unique place and local experience in a great beach town to relax, spend time with appreciated ones, chill out, prepare and rest your head after the beach then the bungalow checks all the boxes. If you're seeking a ideal, flawless home or are super high maintenance, this is not the place for you.

Tips to get the best Kill Devil Hills vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 family and friends at the beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have coupons for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to choose the perfect rental home:

• Start by selecting your trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Chill Surf Bungalow OBX (Back for Limited Time) has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the host before you book the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what is suitable for your trip.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or could be applied to your contract.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Note any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
• At departure, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out 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.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to inspire more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
