SEA LA VIE: The home has three floors, a giant backyard, is well outfitted, offers short stays year round, and includes all linens. The central location is close to everything the OBX has to offer.

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 sizable 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:

FULLY STOCKED:
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.

CENTRAL 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 Arthur’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 towels are supplied for each guest. No need to bring your own linens, the beds are made with freshly laundered sheets before your arrival.

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!

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

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.

Strategies to get the optimal Kill Devil Hills vacation rental experience:

Getting the best value:

• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To get the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Kill Devil Hills attractions.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Many property management companies supply Kill Devil Hills area travel guides which will include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Finding the best rental in the Kill Devil Hills area:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Updated, roomy 4BR house. Sleeps 10. Short stays. Central location. Free linens has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Kill Devil Hills rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before you reserve the property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what is optimal for your vacation family.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your family's stay, record any problem areas during arrival. Contact the host immediately to report any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your peaceful home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. 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 it a point as part of your comments.
