GROUND FLOORING LAYOUT:
The 1st floor has a covered tiki bar room with additional refrigerator that opens to a full backyard with fire pit, Adirondack chairs, picnic table, corn hole boards, and a tree swing hammock chair.

Enter level 1 to find a enormous bedroom with 2 queen beds and a full bathroom with walk in shower, all on the ground level (no steps).

MIDDLE FLOORING LAYOUT:
On the 2nd level is the main entrance with a covered front deck with rocking chairs. Walk in to a mid-level living room with foosball and a shuffle board table, plus full laundry room.

The queen bedroom on the 2nd level features sliding doors that open to the covered deck. There is a full bath in the middle of the two bedrooms on this level. On the other side of the bathroom is a room with 2 twin beds (that can be pushed together).

TOP FLOORING WITH PRIVATE MASTER:

The loaded kitchen on the top floor features a farmhouse table and bench that seats 8, with 2 more barstools at the island.

Open the sliding doors to walk out to the top level sun deck with gas grille, outdoor table and a view of the Ocean.

CONVENIENT LOCATION:
Located between the ocean and sound, the home is less than 1/2 mile to water in either direction. On one side of our street is the beach access with Avalon Pier across from Awful Authur’s seafood restaurant. On the other side of our street is the sound with a neighborhood dock you can fish from. A bicycle trail goes to the Food Lion / Duck Donuts shopping center on 3rd Street without leaving the neighborhood. Go out at the light on 5th to the Target, Wawa, or Jolly Rogers Restaurant, along with another beach access with parking. More public complimentary access beach tons are located on 2nd and 1st streets.

GREAT TOWN:
Kill Devil Hills is right in the middle of the Outer Banks, so go right to get to the fishing marina at Oregon Inlet, or left to see the wild horses in Corolla, with lighthouses in both directions. Putt putt, movies, fishing, shopping, dining and live music with Ubers are only mins. away year round. If you like being near the action but with space to spread out when you get back to the home, Sea La Vie will be a great option for you!

LINENS PROVIDED:
All sheets, comforters, and bath towels are supplied for each guest. No need to bring your own linens, the beds are made with freshly laundered sheets before your arrival.

PAYMENT TERMS: To reserve the home, 25% is due at booking, with the balance due 30 days before check in.

INSURANCE: The $59 insurance offered through Vacation Rental By Owner is required for each stay. It protects for things like hurricane evacuations, and covers repairs on anything that breaks or stops working, for nothing out of pocket!

DISCOUNTS: We do give a discount to anyone who books a full week in the off season (Oct-March), or to those serving in the military (our son is in the Air Force), and to our much appreciated repeat guests!

NO FAMILY PETS: Due to allergies, we do not allow family pets. (Please be kind by booking one of the many homes that do allow pets, since trying to sneak one in will result in immediate eviction without refund).

SECURITY CAMERAS: There are two outward facing cameras covering each exterior door to the home and carport / driveway.

NEARBY POOL / GYM: You can purchase daily or weekly passes to the local YMCA to use their exercise equipment or indoor and outdoor pools. https://www.ymcashr.org/guest-policy-outer-banks-family-ymca

Our top Vacation rental booking tips:

How to get the best value:

• Summer time is high season in the Kill Devil Hills area. To get the best vacation home for your budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain offers and deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Start by selecting a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Updated, roomy 4BR house. Sleeps 10. Short stays. Central location. Free linens has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property manager before booking your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• If there's a certain Kill Devil Hills destination you love, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or costs could be applied to your contract.

During your stay:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Note any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible resource to find the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
