About this Property

• Sleeps 10
• 4 Bedrooms
• 5 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home
• Approximately 3000 square feet

Welcome to “Lobstah Tales”. Our family loves spending time in the Outer Banks, so purchasing this home was a dream come true.

New for 2025 - New roof, pool fence and family room couches!

Lobstah Tales is ideal for a family beach vacation hideaway. We have two kids and appreciate kid-friendly accommodations when we travel. It is located only 300 feet from a direct beach access that hosts a lifeguard station! That was a humongous additional for our family - quickly running back to the home to grab a forgotten item is so convenient! The pool and hot tub are the ideal way to end a long beach day, wash off in the outdoor shower and jump on in! For rainy day family activities, the home features puzzles and games as well as a rec room with a foosball table and freshly added ping pong table, and of course wireless internet and cable TV in each bedroom and living areas.

Our handsome home is located in the heart of Kill Devil Hills and is close to many eateries and stores. Savor vistas from 3 different decks (one with a screened porch). You can see the Wright Monument from the back, or take in partial ocean vistas from our favorite reading spot deck on the third floor.

Looking for activities? Your family will savor the close proximity to the Wright Brothers Memorial National Park, Pier fishing, putt-putt, movie theaters, go carts, boat units, eateries and stores galore!

Tricks and tips to get the perfect rental home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summer months are high season in Kill Devil Hills. Reserve your vacation in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides contain offers and deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Planning, picking, and booking yourrental home:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. SPACIOUS FAMILY FRIENDLY HOME, 300 STEPS TO BEACH, PRIVATE POOL\/HOT TUB has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is optimal for your family.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Note any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on good feedback to propel future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
