*Please Read negative reviews first, this is a unique OLD home and location, and it's not suitable for everybody. If you have a tendency to need perfection, not read entry instructions, or want a peaceful location, this is not the property for you.

The SeaWitch is 61 years old this year, and there is a chance, despite monthly treatment by Professional One Pest Control, bait and sprays, that a roach might find it's way in again - we had one incident last year I do NOT want to repeat. I don't want to ruin anyone's vacation, so please do not book if you or a family member has an issue with this possibility.

Dee takes a great deal of pride in keeping the home clean, but if food is left out, ants are also a possibility.

All future guest contact is being handled by Delores Woodard (Dee) my housekeeper. Her number will be at the top of the entry information which you will receive after the rental agreement is returned.

Full Description (please read before asking questions!):

*THERE WILL BE NO OCCUPANT ON GROUND FLOORING, JUST STORAGE*

The SeaWitch is meant for those looking for a classic, slightly worn bungalow with modern amenities - central A/C, stainless appliances, Dish Network DVR system with 65" TV, and reliable DSL WiFi. There are 3 bedrooms, the "Yellow" room with a soft foam king bed, the "Blue" room queen firm foam "Tempur-pedic" bed, and the "Green" room has 2 foam bed twins. The bathroom has a tiled shower / tub, cabinet style vanity, and tons of hooks to make sharing painless. There is also a nice huge outside shower, completely rebuilt and repainted with new controls and showerhead.

The home is very dog friendly - sizable yard completely contained with 4' wire fence (generally dog proof so far, but I'm sure a determined dog could dig out) with attached to wood fencing; we have fencing around the kitchen stairs so dogs can be let into the yard without having to go outside.

The beach access is located on the Kill Devil Hills / Nags Head town line, which means the rules are different if you go left or right at access - Nags Head accepts dogs on leashes year round but KDH restricts dogs on beach from Memorial Day to Labor Day between 9am and 6pm. So, you basically have to turn right at the access to go into Nags Head during the summer.

Kitchen features an "Induction" range, and is completely equipped for fairly involved cooking with quality cookware, dutch ovens, pots, pans, sharp knives, roast pan, etc.

50 year old milled wood T&G walls in the great room would have some great stories to tell, some you can see just by looking at the scars. LVT floor throughout the entire home. A 3 ton central A/C.

We will only rent to adults over 25 and families, with families much preferred... sorry kids, no beach weeks.

Cleaning fee includes sheets and bath towels for each bedroom (enough for 6 people), dogs add a single $50 fee (paid to Dee for the additional sand and fur) for as many dogs as you want. You will need to bring your own beach towels.

When you exit the bungalow driveway turn right to head towards 8th street that is an simple 1 min. walk to direct public access on the left (ocean side) and a boardwalk to the beach.

Under the porch there is plenty of space to store your fishing rods and beach accessories. There is a enormous outside shower as well.

Washer and dryer in utility room on ground level.

Beach Items: There are at least two chairs, coolers, a heavy duty beach umbrella like you get from the rental places, a fat tire beach cart, and some other odds and ends in the utility room.

How to book the best vacation property experience:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Book your rental in Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies supply Kill Devil Hills area visitors guides which will include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Begin by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Modernized 1960's Semi-Oceanfront - Dog Friendly with Large Fenced Yard! has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking websites. If not, call the property manager before you book the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is traveling with pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Kill Devil Hills beach you are crazy about, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Put the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the property manager right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. 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! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to stimulate new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
