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, handsomely 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 enormous community pool with plenty of calming lounge chairs so you can conveniently 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 huge 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 sizable 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 elegant 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!

Tricks and tips for getting the perfect vacation property experience:

How to get the best value:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• To get the best value, try changing your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guides contain money saving offers on local accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to pick the best vacation home in Kill Devil Hills:

• First, have your group decide on the best dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. SDV309 Chiller Whale * 3 Min Walk to Beach has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Kill Devil Hills rentals search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible online. If they are not listed, email the property management company before you reserve the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

During your stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to compel future bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
