Welcome to Live Swell Beach Bungalows. Here our guests refresh from reality while appreciating elements of coastal living and the laid-back surf lifestyle.
All of our boutique units feature:
•Linens + Bath Towels
•Charcoal Grille
•Private Outdoor Shower
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 enormous outdoor shower with an upsized rain-shower head is highly invigorating on hot summer days and feels extraordinary 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.

Guest access
Guests have access to the entire home and property. For those, that appreciate clean laundry, like us, we have a quality washer + dryer set up. Most beach gear and amenities are stored in the "sled shack" shed.
Interaction with guests
We are friendly and may say hello during your stay yet we do respect our guests’ privacy.
We also appreciate sharing our favorite local places to eat and things to do. We even created a guide that our guests have found helpful in planning their OBX adventure, after booking, just ask!
Other things to note
***We do kindly ask that all potential guests read the entire description before requesting to book***
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 adored 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.
Bringing your dog?
We adore dogs and are happy to have your four legged friends and family members at our bungalows. Just let us know you are bringing your dog and the pet fee is:
• $25 per nighttime per dog (Please ask if you have more than one dog)
Book today to ensure your reservation, before another guest does! :)
Check Out Etiquette: We put a lot of time and effort to deliver great stays for our guests. If we find deliberate damage, disrespect or lack of cleanliness during the check out inspection, you will be charged fee's to compensate our cleaners and ensure the property is ready for guests.

Our top Kill Devil Hills vacation rental booking tips:
Money saving strategies:
- The sooner your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
- Summer time is high season in the Kill Devil Hills area. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
- Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
- Property managers usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
- Often, rental management companies supply Kill Devil Hills area travel guides which often include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.
Narrow your rental Search:
- Select a group leader, choose your dates, and choose a budget.
- Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. 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.
- Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property manager before you book the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what is suitable for your trip.
- Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.
- If there's a certain Kill Devil Hills beach you are enamored with, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
- Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
Additional considerations:
- Add the property manager's contact information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
- Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many difficulties.
- Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect your property!
- To make sure damages are not linked to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the property 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 very helpful.
- Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
- Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
- Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms 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 your family have a great vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
