*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 simple. There is also a nice enormous outside shower, completely rebuilt and repainted with new controls and showerhead.

The home is very dog friendly - huge 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 painless 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 sizable 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.

Vacation rental booking tips:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• June, July, and August are high season in Kill Devil Hills. To get the best value, try changing your family's Kill Devil Hills vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Kill Devil Hills area visitors guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property 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.

Filter your rental search:

• Select dates and budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. 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 Kill Devil Hills rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible online. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• Do your family pets travel with you? 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 costs might be applied to your invoice.

More tips for your stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, note any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the property manager immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
