When you walk through the front door of this open floorplan, you will be greeted by modern furnishings with a retro charm. Parlor on the couch or one of the two upsized armchairs. Across from the living area is where you will find the dining area tucked away. It features a round table with seating for 4.

It features all of the necessities for preparing coastal cuisine and now includes a dishwasher and countertop ice maker for calming evenings with a cool drink or the ideal reprieve on a warm summer day.

Step outside onto the deck and relax on the outdoor loveseat while you soak in the sunshine and salt air. Go downstairs and head to the enormous backyard and you'll find a roomy outdoor shower - ideal for rinsing off the sand after a long day on the beach. Use your $150 beach gear credit from VayKGear and rent some cornhole boards or other beach games and play them after dark under the twinkling stars. You can also use your beach gear credit to rent some beach bicycles and cruise the close by Bay Drive multi-use path located half of a mile away. Locals Tip: Take a ride in the evening and witness the most spectacular sunsets around!

Tips to get the best rental home experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are high season in Kill Devil Hills. Booking in the Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area travel guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your Search:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. 5041 The Captains Quarters *1 Block to Boat Access has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible online. If not, call the property owner before booking your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what is right for your vacation family.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• Do your family pets travel with you? 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 host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or costs may be applied to your agreement.

Tips to have a fantastic stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• During check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and scan for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
