We newly purchased our Saltbox Style Cottage here on the Outer Banks! This neighborhood is one of our favorite locations on the entire barrier island. We live just a few homes away from our new rental. EVERYTHING is new 2022! We have spent the last few months preparing for YOU, our guests, to appreciate this bungalow over these summer months. Packed with quality features from floor to memory foam beds cleaned and encased for additional tranquility of mind. We have a high-level of cleanliness expectations for our property that we know our guests savor. While this bungalow is a new listing, we have owned and rented numerous properties across the barrier island since 2014. We are professional hosts that live here locally and take great care of our guests and our property!

You will enjoy our neighborhood! Our beach access is just a .5 mi or 10 min. walk from the bungalow on the way is Dunkin Donuts and Ashley's Espresso Parlour, which serves coffee, wine and beer. Behind Ashley's Espresso Parlour is Mom's Sweet Shop, which is a retail store and an ice cream spot! Eateries and shopping are also walkable in the Seagate North Shopping Center.

Walk back to the 'sound side' via the stoplight and pedestrian crosswalk to enjoy the miles of walking and cycling paths on Bay Drive bordering the Albemarle Sound and Kitty Hawk Bay. There are two community sound accesses close by - the one turning right does not have parking, the one to the left on Bay Drive has 3 available parking spots along with a dock and gazebo with swimming access. These are the BEST spots to swim, launch a kayak or take in the sunset over the water. For those with bicycles, you can bicycle the entire 2.5 mi Bay Drive Multi-Use Path or continue down W First Street to the Wright Brother's Monument. Access is by the air field entering in the back of the park.

Also walkable is Heaven Golf and Arcade with Mini Golf, Bumper Vehicles, Go-Karts and Arcade. Several eateries like Henry's Restaurant, Two Roads Tavern, Chili Peppers and Brew Thru (for drinks).

OWNER NOTES - The yard is in a transitional phase, after 20 years without maintenance, we are in the process of riding the yard of thorns and weeds. We DO NOT recommend using the yard for our guests. We have a great concrete area underneath the home with picnic table, hot tub and bar seating. *Parking is limited to three cars. No yard or street parking possible at our location.

Additionally, we live locally just a few homes away from our rental property. This property is not suitable for events, events or illegal activities. We are excited to share our beach home, which we reserve in the off-season for our family members. Our neighborhood consists of full-time residents (like us), second home owners and a modest number of rental properties. WE INSIST THAT ALL RENTERS respect our neighbors at the property and the noise ordinance in our town to reduce outdoor noise after 10:00 pm at nighttime.

Lastly, family pets! We are big dog people. However, dogs should not be left barking in the home all-day causing a disturbance to neighbors. Please plan for your pet on these hot summer days! Most importantly, all pets should be flea and tick complimentary prior to arrival and on flea and tick preventative. If the property requires pest treatment, the guest will be penalized.

How to book the best Kill Devil Hills rental home experience:

Finding your best deal:

• Summer is the most expensive season in Kill Devil Hills. To get the best value, consider changing your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to purchase 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 missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area visitor guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select dates and budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Renovated, Pet-Friendly, with HOT TUB - Highly Walkable Location has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before you reserve your home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is best for your family.
• If there's an individual Kill Devil Hills destination you crave, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Upon check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out 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 group have a great stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
