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 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 multiple 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 painless, 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 numerous 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 included). 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.

How to get the best Kill Devil Hills rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Reserve your Kill Devil Hills rental property in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Kill Devil Hills visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to choose the perfect rental in the Kill Devil Hills area:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and choose a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. The Casita - Close to Beach & Bay, Outdoor Shower! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible online. If not, contact the host before you book your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what bed configuration is right for your vacation group.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

Additional considerations:

• Get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Record any damages to the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal items. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and look for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a great time? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
