The Casita is located in Kill Devil Hills, in the Outer Banks. We fell in adore with KDH for its hometown feel, as well as its painless 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 Sportsman, Hayman & 5th Street.

✓ Avalon Pier & Beach Access (Bar, Arcade, Fishing & Beach) (0.6 Miles)
✓ 5th Street Beach Access (Parking Lot) (0.9 Miles)
✓ Hayman Blvd. Beach Access (Parking Lot) (0.8 Miles)
✓ Bay Drive Walking & Biking Path (0.3 Miles)
✓ Avalon Beach Boat Ramp on Bay Drive (0.5 Miles)
✓ Jockey's Ridge State Park (6.4 Miles)
✓ Wright Brothers National Memorial (2.0 Miles)
✓ RC/ Kill Devil Hills Movie Theatre (0.9 Miles)
✓ First Flight Adventure Park (10.0 Miles)
✓ Sandy Run Park (4.0 Miles)
✓ Dowdy Park (5.7 Miles)
✓ Roanoke Island Festival Park (16.5 Miles)
✓ Fort Raleigh National historic Site (18.9 Miles)
✓ North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island (19.4 Miles)
✓ Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge (25.7 Miles)

Getting to the beach from the Casita is simple, and we appreciate that we are located near three easy access points: Sportsman (Via the Avalon Pier), Hayman & 5th Street. For safety purposes we recommend that you head to 5th Street or Hayman during the busier times of the year because those access points have a stop light with a crosswalk to cross N Croatan which can be busy during peak times. As for the Avalon Pier access, if you walk straight down Sportsman to the beach, you can access to the right of the pier entrance!

Kitty Hawk Bay is due West from our home down Sportsman. We highly recommend you head down that way 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, but it also leads to the Avalon Beach Kitty Hawk Bay Boat Launch where you can launch boats, jetskis, canoes, kayaks, etc.

The shed in the backyard will have 3-4 bicycles for your use. Also in the shed is a Solo stove fire pit for your use (wood not supplied). We also have a paddle board that we provide at your request. Simply reach out to us and let us know that you would be interested in appreciating those activities, and we can ensure that those items are on site and available to you.

Tips and Tricks for getting the best Kill Devil Hills vacation rental experience:

Finding the best value:

• Booking in the Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• In the Kill Devil Hills area, The earlier you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Booking your vacation property six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Kill Devil Hills area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain coupons for local tours and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. The Casita - Close to Beach & Bay, Outdoor Shower! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible online. Otherwise, email the host before you book the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a certain Kill Devil Hills beach you love, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or might be applied to your invoice.

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a great time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
