About this Property

• Sleeps 6
• 3 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home

Three bedroom, two bath home located in the heart of Kill Devil Hills! Saturday check-in/check-out. This home is our little sanctuary on the sound side of the OBX. A 2 min. drive to the beach! From rocking chairs on the front porch to outdoor furnishings and a swing downstairs on the carport area, there's room for everybody to find their own little corner for solitude or gather together for a homestyle happy hour.

We installed brand new floor throughout the home in 2022, eliminating all of the carpet on the main level. It looks and feels great!

There are 2 beach chairs and numerous body boards/skim boards available for use during your stay.

Please read rules for our home rental before reserving. We do require a minimum age of 25 to rent. We do require an ID check. We require the person renting our home be present in our home for the duration of the rental period. (I.e. Parents reserving our home on behalf of underage kids and not being present will result in cancellation of reservation.

Our top Kill Devil Hills vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To book the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Kill Devil Hills area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain coupons for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Finding the perfect rental:

• Select a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. The Sound Castle has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If not, call the property management company before reserving your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what is best for your vacation group.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More tips for your visit:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect your property!
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the host immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on great ratings to propel new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback 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 reasonably to fix it.
