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.

Located on the Oceanfront in Kill Devil Hills, the Sea Captains Cottage accepts you to literally walk out your front door to the beach. No packing up the car with gear and driving around looking for beach access parking. The bungalow is close to shopping, 2 grocery stores, cozy coffee stores and many fabulous Outer Banks eateries.

Keyless entry makes checking in simple for our guests.
Each bungalow is included one (1) parking space, no exceptions.
There are 2 additional "guest spaces" on property that are shared by all 4 cottages so availability cannot be guaranteed.
I adore doggies however guests must notify prior to booking of what type you will be bringing (please note the $75 pet fee). Should you wish to bring a second pup an additional $50 pet fee will be required prior to arrival.

How to find the best rental home experience:

When to visit Kill Devil Hills & When to reserve a rental home:

• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• To book the largest vacation home within budget, we recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at Kill Devil Hills restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area visitor guides which will include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to select the perfect vacation home:

• First, have your group select dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Sea Captain's Cottage 3 (Oceanfront Cottage Court) has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before reserving your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what bed configuration is suitable for your group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Note any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great time? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable 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 review.
