***Special Mention*** This home is directly on the sound! While it is definitely handsome, there are some things to note. When you live here, or are familiar to the Outer Banks, then you realize you HAVE to contend with bugs. Specifically Midgies, palmetto bugs and water spiders, ESPECIALLY when there is wind from the west! Midgies LOVE the light, and when you have the lights on outside at nighttime, or open the doors, they will FLOCK inside.
We ask that you please keep the doors and windows closed and outdoor lights off as much as possible, to help with this issue. We do have a quarterly contract with pest control for other pests, however, Midgies and mosquitos won't be affected by this.
You MUST know that as with any home on the sound, you may encounter wild life and bugs. If a bug encounter will bother you, this may not be the home for you. We also have wild life families that have constructed their homes in the marshes of the water. A fox family, raccoon family, geese, deer, otter and ducks. Of course water fowl as well!
You will also see a plethora of fish, crabs and water creatures!

Our home is located right in the heart of Kill Devil Hills, centrally located close to everything! Food, shopping and activities are all literally a skip, hop and a jump away! There is a bicycle path directly in front of the home that people appreciate to use for an evening walk while the sun sets, cycling, dog walking, or walking/running! Our home is located super close to many beach accesses as well!! Taking a early morning walk/run on the OBX is a great way to start your day! Use this bicycle path, or take a fast trip over to the ocean side and watch the sunrise!

Most people get around by car, or bicycle, as everything is really close, and some people take long walks down the bicycle path that goes along the street in front of the home. At our home you will have a designated parking area for one car.

How to find the best Kill Devil Hills vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Kill Devil Hills. To find the best value, shift your family's Kill Devil Hills trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to select the best rental in the Kill Devil Hills area:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Sound Front home in Kill Devil Hills-A Sound Choice! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is optimal for your family.
• If there's a particular Kill Devil Hills destination you love, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or charges may be applied to your contract.

More tips for your visit:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your .
• Record any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few problems.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and scan for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
