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 cavernous 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 huge 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 extraordinary eateries close by, including Awful Arthur's Oyster Bar and their famed Beach Shop, the Front Porch Cafe for an handsome 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.

Kill Devil Hills vacation rental tips and tricks:

Getting the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Kill Devil Hills. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Kill Devil Hills visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Selecting and booking the rightvacation home:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group 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 descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available online. If not, call the property management company before reserving the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what configuration is best for your vacation family.
• If there's a particular Kill Devil Hills attraction you long to visit, browse rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Be respectful. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
