"The Shack Too" is a comfortable, calming, classic Outer Banks vacation bungalow with a great location - in the center of it all, with a short walk or bicycle ride - we provide two - to the beach and the sound but still a peaceful and relaxing escape. You can even rent a golf cart and leave the car behind - Target, Wawa, Food Lion, Belk, Chips Wine and Beer, and Front Porch coffee shop are all within a few blocks. We provide a parking pass to the neighborhood's private parking areas -one just across the street from the beach access at the end of the street with a lifeguard (in season) and at the sound for viewing marvelous sunsets. This cozy beach bungalow is the ideal place to relax.

The open living and kitchen area feature original artwork on the walls, classic beadboard wood paneling and floors, and eclectic, vintage, and antique family furnishings are combined to make this a true beach "home away from home". The front porch is an outdoor extension of the living area with a seating group, dining table, and no outside access from the ground level - ideal for hanging out and catching the ocean breezes.

Not your cookie-cutter listing or typical beach box, this bungalow has unique original touches with a comfortable, vintage feel and is just the right size for a couple or even two couples, two or three friends traveling together, or a modest family. And we are dog friendly, so there is no need to leave your furry family members behind. Make your memories here and experience living the classic beach lifestyle at The Shack Too.

Tips for getting the best Kill Devil Hills vacation home experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• To get the largest rental for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Kill Devil Hills attractions. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Kill Devil Hills visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have offers and deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Make a plan and choose your Kill Devil Hills rental:

• Choose vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Pet Friendly~Walk to the Beach or Sound~Bikes~Vintage and Original has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property owner before booking the home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what bed configuration is suitable for your trip.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Have a fantastic stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Record any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your life at home. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean 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 feedback! Property owners rely on great reviews to propel new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
