Appreciate a classic Outer Banks vacation experience with all the amenities of home and then some with a stay at the picture-ideal Bristow's Bungalow. Located between the highways just before milepost 6, this beach getaway is wonderfully close to a host of eateries, stores, and attractions, as well as the sunny Kill Devil Hills beaches, with a public beach access located just a 5-min. walk away. With a wealth of enticing OBX sites at your fingertips, Bristow's Bungalow is a fine launching point for any coastal adventure.

On the Ground Level, savor plenty of parking and a roomy Covered Carport for staying out of the sun. Cook up some fresh local seafood or your own fresh catch from the close by Avalon Fishing Pier on the Charcoal Grille for dinner. Be sure to rinse off in the Outdoor Shower before heading inside and don't forget to toss those sandy beach towels in the downstairs Washer and Dryer before going upstairs. Midweek washes are a breeze when you don't have to worry about lugging wet beach towels and sandy bathing suits upstairs for a rinse.

Cook up some snacks or a delicious dinner close by in the Kitchen with all modern appliances and seating at the Breakfast Bar for 3. The close by Dining Area offers comfortable seating for 6 and is great for appreciating a home-cooked meal in the ideal home away from home.

Just down the hall, you'll find 3 attractively decorated bedrooms with plenty of space to catch some z's in preparation for another day of impressive Outer Banks fun. Unwind in the Queen Master Suite with a Private Bathroom with a enormous Shower or the additional Queen Bedroom and Bedroom with a Double Bed that's ideal for the kids or the rest of the family. And since you're just a 5-min. walk from Avalon Pier, you'll want to get all the rest you can before enjoying a fun, appealing day of surf, sand, and sun without even having to hop in the car! Don't forget to bring your favorite canine family member, as this home also accepts one family pupper (with an additional fee).

Savor the Fun of Kill Devil Hills
Bristow's Bungalow is less than half a mile away from the Avalon Fishing Pier, meaning that you can make your way there in a flash for a fun day of fishing, dining, and sightseeing. There are also plenty of striking eateries close by, including Awful Arthur's Oyster Bar and their famed Beach Shop, the Front Porch Cafe for an magnificant cup of coffee, and The Jolly Roger just down the street. A few miles to the south, visit Jockey's Ridge State Park and climb the tallest sand dune on the Atlantic coast. Head north and stop by the Wright Brothers National Monument to learn about America's history of aviation and the first powered flight that occurred right off the local sand dunes! Afterward, swing by Lost Treasure Golf to try your luck at a fun treasure-themed mini-golf course or, if it's raining, catch the latest Blockbuster at the close by movie theater. Whether you spend your days playing on the beach, casting your line out in the ocean, or exploring fun stores around town, Brustow's Bungalow will be the vacation destination for the whole family.

How to book the best rental experience:

Get the best value:

• Summertime is high season in the Kill Devil Hills area. To find the best value, change your trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• 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 vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Kill Devil Hills visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have money saving offers on local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Filter your rental search:

• Choose your dates and max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. 5005 Bristow's Bungalow * 4 Min Walk to Beach 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 counts & types is commonly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property manager before you reserve the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Are you bringing the family pet? 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. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or costs could be applied to your invoice.

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
