This impressive 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 striking 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 handsome sunset, this deck is your private slice of Outer Banks heaven.

When it's time to get some sleep, three elegantly 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 suitcases 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 simple 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.

Strategies to get the best Kill Devil Hills vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Kill Devil Hills. To find the best value, try changing your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• Some owners offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of 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 grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides have discounts for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking yourrental:

• To start, have your family agree to the best dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 5045 Laughing Gulls * 6 Min Walk to Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking websites. If not, email or call the property manager before you reserve your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Does your group require specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• To make certain damages are not linked to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the host immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good feedback to propel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
