Welcome to Live Swell Beach Bungalows. Here our guests refresh from reality while appreciating elements of coastal living and the laid-back surf lifestyle.

All of our boutique units feature:

•Private Outdoor Shower

We are passionate about the beach, coastal living and the opportunity to share the lifestyle we adore so much with our guests.

Our "Salt Box" style beach bungalow was constructed in 1982, is 950 square feet and features a loft. It sits on a private cut of property in a safe cul de sac with mostly year round residents.

The space is ideal for:
• Couples
• Modest active families or groups of friends
• 5 people comfortably, 6 people if ya'll get along well

Since we have had the Bungalow we have finished a lot of upgrades to the home that many of our guests appreciate. The enormous outdoor shower with an upsized rain-shower head is highly invigorating on hot summer days and feels gorgeous after the beach. On the right days and at the right times, the french doors open up completely to the front deck which adds an airy flow and the feel of and indoor-outdoor living space. The kitchen was themed with a distressed nautical look, open cabinets and contains most of the necessities for a chef. Our favorite hang out area is the great room, which has an open set up, vaulted ceilings and a "BigAss" Brand Haiku Fan, which, feels hypnotic like the soft drone of a helicopter propeller.

To us, a very clean bungalow is of the utmost importance for our guests upon arrival. In fact, our bungalows have always had very high cleanliness standards and though cleaning + inspection process. Recently, we have taken our cleaning process to the next level by implementing recommended CDC guidelines. Between each guest stay our beach bungalows are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized with EPA approved disinfectants on surfaces and common touch points.

We appreciate our OBX bungalow, it's a great home yet, like most homes it is not ideal and not for everybody. We respect that folks have different preferences and world vistas. If your looking for a unique place and local experience in a great beach town to relax, spend time with appreciated ones, chill out, prepare and rest your head after the beach then the bungalow checks all the boxes. If you're seeking a ideal, flawless home or are super high maintenance, this is not the place for you.

Bringing your dog?
We appreciate dogs and are happy to have your four legged friends and family members at our bungalows. Just let us know you are bringing your dog and the pet fee is:
• $25 per nighttime per dog (Please ask if you have more than one dog)

Tricks and tips for getting the best Kill Devil Hills vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have coupons for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Planning and picking the best Kill Devil Hills rental home:

• Begin by choosing your a vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. Chill Surf Bungalow OBX (Back for Limited Time) has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available online. If not, call the property manager before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.
• Is your family looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Have a fantastic stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. Contact the rental manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
