The Cabin is located in Kill Devil Hills, in the Outer Banks. We fell in adore with KDH for its hometown feel, as well as its simple access to both the ocean and the bay. Our location affords us the luxury of the Bay Drive walking & cycling path, the Bay Drive boat launch, as well as numerous access points to the ocean beach access, with the closest access points at 1st Street, Prospect Ave, and 3rd Street Public Beach Access.

✓ 1st Street Beach Access (Parking Lot) (0.9 Miles)
✓ Prospect Ave Beach Access (Parking Lot & Public Bathroom) (1.5 Miles)
✓ 3rd Street Beach Access (No Parking) (1.5 Miles)
✓ Avalon Pier & Beach Access (Bar, Arcade, Fishing & Beach) (2.0 Miles)
✓ 5th Street Beach Access (Parking Lot) (1.6 Miles)
✓ Hayman Blvd. Beach Access (Parking Lot) (2.3 Miles)
✓ Bay Drive Walking & Biking Path (0.1 Miles - Pick Up on the corner of 1st & Canal)
✓ Avalon Beach Boat Ramp on Bay Drive (1.0 Miles)
✓ Jockey's Ridge State Park (6.0 Miles)
✓ Wright Brothers National Memorial (1.6 Miles)
✓ RC/ Kill Devil Hills Movie Theatre (1.3 Miles)
✓ First Flight Adventure Park (9.5 Miles)
✓ Sandy Run Park (5.4 Miles)
✓ Dowdy Park (4.9 Miles)
✓ Roanoke Island Festival Park (15.8 Miles)
✓ Fort Raleigh National Historic Site (18.2 Miles)
✓ North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island (18.6 Miles)
✓ Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge (25.0 Miles)

Getting to the beach from the Cabin is painless, and we appreciate that we are located near three easy access points: 1st Street, Prospect Ave, and 3rd Street Public Beach Access. We are afforded a "Stop Light" intersection on 1st - during the busier times of the year this is a humongous positive in the OBX because those access points have a stop light with a crosswalk to cross N Croatan which can be busy during peak times.

Kitty Hawk Bay is due Northwest from our Cabin. We highly recommend you head down that way to the Bay Ave Walking/Biking trail for sunsets at nighttime, but also at anytime during the day because the Bay Drive trail runs along the bay for multiple miles in each direction. You can use this for walking, running, cycling. It also leads to the Avalon Beach Kitty Hawk Bay Boat Launch where you can launch boats, jetskis, canoes, kayaks, etc. Additionally, if you take the trail South, you can actually walk or ride bicycles to the Wright Brother's Memorial from the back way along 1st Street.

The garage has a secondary refrigerator for guest use. It is also equipped with at least 6 bicycles - sometimes up to 10 for guest use. Also in the garage are some lawn games including corn hole and bocce.
STRICT NO SMOKING & NO PET POLICY - If you are found to be smoking within the home or bring a pet, there will be $500 fine.

This is a family home - we use it to vacation and visit family in the OBX. Please kindly treat it like it is your own, with respect. We really enjoy it.

If you are using the yard and it's amenities during your stay, please make sure to leave it the way you found it when you arrived.

Tips for getting the best Kill Devil Hills vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Kill Devil Hills. To find the best value, consider changing your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, , and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area visitor guide magazines which will include special 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 grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose and book your Kill Devil Hills rental:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your dates, and select a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. The Cabin - Unique OBX Stay, Huge Yard! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking websites. If not, contact the host before booking your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what configuration is right for your vacation.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Kill Devil Hills attraction you crave, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Tips to have a fantastic stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Record any issues with the property at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually 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?
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. 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.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to compel more bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
