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 conveniently 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 enormous 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 comfortably 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 adore 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 huge 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 enchanting 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 charming 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 sizable, 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!

Booking the best vacation home experience:

Get the best rental value:

• Summertime is high season in the Kill Devil Hills area. To find the best vacation home within budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area visitors guide magazines which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Finding the best vacation rental in the Kill Devil Hills area:

• Start by choosing your vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. SDV309 Chiller Whale * 3 Min Walk to Beach has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking pages. If not, email or call the property management company before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Is your group looking for special amenities? Most rental search 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 and included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• During arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents lots of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to stimulate new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
