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).

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

Tips to get the perfect vacation property experience:

When to visit Kill Devil Hills & When to book:

• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area travel guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the best vacation rental in Kill Devil Hills:

• Begin by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Updated, roomy 4BR house. Sleeps 10. Short stays. Central location. Free linens has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If not, email or call the property owner before reserving the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon check in. message the rental manager right away to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
