A Quaint Condo in an Unbeatable Location
Thanks to 'Chiller Whale', you can afford an Outer Banks hideaway even with a smaller family! Immerse yourself in a casual state of mind in this comfortable, gorgeously decorated condo with modern amenities. This condo is in the centrally located Sundune Village, close to stores, eateries, and local attractions but effortlessly within walking distance of the beach! In fact, the E. Martin Street Beach Access is only about 500 feet from the Sundune Village complex, meaning your family can dip their toes in the sand after a short 3-min. walk! Sundune Village offers great outdoor amenities for guests including a sizable community pool with plenty of calming lounge chairs so you can effortlessly work on your tan or read your favorite book after going for a dip in the water. Behind the pool, a nice yard area features outdoor grilles and picnic tables so you can conveniently prepare up some burgers and hot dogs, or even your fresh catch of the day! A horseshoe pit is also available if you're feeling like some friendly competition!

As you enter Chiller Whale, you'll notice the kitchen offers plenty of counter space and all of the amenities you need to prepare your family's favorite meals. The kitchen bar offers additional counter prep space and also has seating for three. Right across the kitchen, a glass round dining table has seating for 4 and doubles as a great place to savor puzzles, cards, or board games. You will appreciate the sizable living area that lets in copious amounts of natural sunlight and features a comfortable egg chair, dark wooden coffee and end tables, and a huge blue couch that ideally complements the deep orange wall behind it. This cozy and colorful ambiance is all located around a cozy fireplace and enormous TV with Roku, a DVD player, and stereo system. If you need more sleeping space, the couch converts into a queen sleeper couch. Down the hall, a stackable washer/dryer unit is conveniently located outside of the two bedrooms and a full-sized bathroom is accessible from the hall. The first bedroom features alluring decorations, beachy wicker furnishings, and a relaxing queen bed. The king master suite with an attached full bath is the ideal place to relax and includes a TV and Roku. The best parts of your vacation will be stepping out onto the balcony where you'll be able to watch the sky change colors at dusk and dawn! The balcony faces south so if you look to the left you'll have a partial ocean view, ideal for sunrises over the Atlantic, and if you look right you'll get to see those beautiful OBX sunsets.

Some of the Finest Outer Banks Attractions -- No Car Necessary!
The close proximity to the beach isn't the only selling point for Chiller Whale. Some of the best OBX dining spots are a short walk away, including Daredevil's Pizza -- one of the best pies you'll find on the island! Another tasty choice within walking distance is Bonzer Shack. Their fish tacos with fried mahi-mahi are unbeatable! If you're looking for a good time in the evening, Bonzer Shack has that as well. It's a fashionable nightlife spot for both locals and tourists with a huge, enclosed yard outback. Some nights, they even host DJs and live bands!

While you certainly don't HAVE to bring a car to appreciate many attractions in Kill Devil Hills, we still want to mention some cant-miss places to check out that are just a bit further than walking distance! The first and most famed has to be the Wright Brothers Memorial. Kill Devil Hills is where the Wright Brothers took their first flight and the fun in this area has been soaring ever since. Learn all about it when you visit the interactive museum. In the mornings, head over to Bob's Grille for a breakfast of champions! Pro tip: if you're super hungry you can try their dozen-egg omelet, but we bet you won't finish it. Prove us wrong! For lunch or dinner, you can't go wrong with a burger from Jack Brown's Beer & Burger Joint -- all their delicious burgers are made from 100% wagyu beef. The Outer Banks Brewing Station offers fun for the entire family! They have cornhole and acoustic performances in the large outdoor fenced-in area some evenings from 6-9 PM and live bands for the adults from 10 PM to 2 AM on the weekends (pending seasonal availability)! Book a trip to Chiller Whale and start making those family memories that will last a lifetime!

Tricks and tips to get the optimal Kill Devil Hills vacation home experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• To get the best value, change your family's Kill Devil Hills vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guides contain coupons for nearby accommodations and attractions.

How to choose and book the rightrental:

• To start, have your group decide on date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. SDV309 Chiller Whale * 3 Min Walk to Beach has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before booking your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what is best for your vacation group.
• If there's a specific Kill Devil Hills destination you simply love, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make certain damages are not linked to your visit, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. Contact the property manager immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of issues.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent time? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
