Future renovations include the primary bedroom and bathroom. The hall bathroom was refreshed January 2024.

Head back to the home to make lunch or take a nap, then head back to the beach. No long walks or having to park close by and lug all your gear to the beach! What could be better than the convenience of being ocean front and making it as painless as possible for you and your appreciated ones and friends to appreciate the OBX!

I want everybody to be knowledgable of what our gorgeous bungalow offers, and doesn't. In your initial reservation request, please tell me your favorite color. This tells me you've read through all the details of our home.

Rental booking tips:

When to visit & When to book:

• Summer is high season in Kill Devil Hills. Reserve your Kill Devil Hills vacation home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Kill Devil Hills area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines contain offers and deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Have a great stay:

• Get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors bothering your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
