The space

Sea Life Cottage is a vintage bungalow directly on the Atlantic Ocean side of OBX. The home has a washer and dryer, and a completely equipped kitchen. The bungalow has the original ship lap walls. Future renovations include the primary bedroom and bathroom. The hall bathroom was refreshed January 2024.

You cannot beat the location and convenient access to the beach. You can grab your beach chair, and your drink of choice, and walk to the beach. 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 simple as possible for you and your adored ones and friends to appreciate the OBX!

I want everybody to be knowledgable of what our striking 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.

Strategies for getting the perfect Kill Devil Hills vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The sooner you can book, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Summer time is high season in Kill Devil Hills. To get the best value, shift your family's Kill Devil Hills vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area visitors guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Sea Life Cottage - True Oceanfront Home with Ocean Views has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. If not, email the host before booking the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what is right for your family.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Kill Devil Hills beach you crave, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Have a great stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Record any issues with the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
