The Casita is located in Kill Devil Hills, in the Outer Banks. We fell in appreciate 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 adore 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.

Tricks and tips to get the very best Kill Devil Hills rental experience:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in the Kill Devil Hills area. Reserve your vacation in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Some property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, rental management companies supply Kill Devil Hills area visitor guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose the best vacation home:

• Choose dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. The Casita - Close to Beach & Bay, Outdoor Shower! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before you book the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or costs might be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a specific Kill Devil Hills destination you are crazy about, browse homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are away, 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 texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic resource to find the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct 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.
