Stunning Beach Box in Historic KDH
Welcome to Laughing Gulls, your ideal beach getaway located on the relaxing soundside of Kill Devil Hills. This appealing 3-Bedroom, 2-Bathroom beach box is a haven of coastal comfort, offering a enchanting blend of the local, beachy ambiance and modern convenience. You're just two mins. away from the 5th Street Beach Access as well as all the convenience of the close by Target, R/C Kill Devil Hills Movies, Publix, and spectacular eateries like The Jolly Roger and Goombay's Grille & Raw Bar! Unwind out back after a day at the beach in the fenced-in Backyard with a Fire Pit and let Laughing Gulls whisk you away to a world where all that matters is the sunrise and the tide.

Enter in on the Main Level, or the Ground-Level Foyer, and you'll find a roomy Living Area with high ceilings and tons of brilliant, natural light. Let the warm of the sun through the windows wash over you as you watch your favorite shows or plan another day of impressive, Outer Banks adventures that the whole family will adore. Pop on over to the completely-equipped Kitchen when you're ready to impress the family with a gourmet meal. Eat together in the adjacent Dining Area for an intimate experience or take your meal out onto the Furnished Deck to appreciate your dinner with a side of ocean air. Whether you're sipping morning coffee from Front Porch just down the road, or toasting to a striking sunset, this deck is your private slice of Outer Banks heaven.

When it's time to get some sleep, three gorgeously decorated bedrooms await you back inside. Immerse yourself in oceanic comfort in the King Master Bedroom with wistful beachy decor and a Private Bathroom. The Queen Bedroom and the Pyramid Bunk Bedroom are great for giving everybody the space they need to rest up after a day at the beach. A Full Hallway Bathroom keeps everybody comfortable while the downstairs Laundry area means clean clothes all week - and more room in your bags for souvenirs!

Rinse off in the Outdoor Shower before heading back inside after appreciating a day at the beach. Head out back for evenings under the stars with a cavernous, fenced-in Backyard and a Fire Pit that's ideal for s'mores. Whether you're looking for painless access to the ocean or somewhere out-of-the-way to savor the best of living life on island time, Laughing Gulls ensures a stay that will have you coming back year after year.

When you're ready to discover, 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. Try your luck on Avalon Fishing Pier and see what kind of titans you can reel in! Also, The Outer Banks Brewing Station offers fun for the entire family!

Tips and Tricks to get the best Kill Devil Hills vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Kill Devil Hills. To get the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Kill Devil Hills area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Begin by choosing your trip dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. 5045 Laughing Gulls * 6 Min Walk to Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property management company before you book the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

Additional considerations:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of issues.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the host right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
