This Carolina Classic Beach Cottage is what a stay on the Outer Banks is all about. Designed for modest families wanting to focus on time together appreciating the beach which is merely steps away.

The private walkway to the beach is for all guests of The Sea Captain's Cottages. Please note that a flight of stairs must be climbed in order to access the beach and the dune is a bit on the steep side. Perfectly fine for most, but those with knee problems or elderly persons may find it somewhat difficult.

No packing up the car with gear and driving around looking for beach access parking.

There are 2 additional "guest spaces" on property that are shared by all 4 cottages so availability cannot be guaranteed.

Strategies to get the optimal rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Booking your Kill Devil Hills vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The earlier you can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Kill Devil Hills area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain coupons for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• To start, have your family decide on a vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Sea Captain's Cottage 2; Oceanfront Cottage Court has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before you book your home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Record any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on good feedback to drive new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
