"The Shack Too" is a comfortable, calming, classic Outer Banks vacation bungalow with a great location - in the center of it all, with a short walk or bicycle ride - we provide two - to the beach and the sound but still a peaceful and calming escape. You can even rent a golf cart and leave the car behind - Target, Wawa, Food Lion, Belk, Chips Wine and Beer, and Front Porch coffee shop are all within a few blocks. We provide a parking pass to the neighborhood's private parking areas -one just across the street from the beach access at the end of the street with a lifeguard (in season) and at the sound for viewing phenomenal sunsets. This cozy beach bungalow is the ideal place to relax.

The open living and kitchen area feature original artwork on the walls, classic beadboard wood paneling and floors, and eclectic, vintage, and antique family furnishings are combined to make this a true beach "home away from home". The front porch is an outdoor extension of the living area with a seating group, dining table, and no outside access from the ground level - ideal for hanging out and catching the ocean breezes.

Not your cookie-cutter listing or typical beach box, this bungalow has unique original touches with a comfortable, vintage feel and is just the right size for a couple or even two couples, two or three friends traveling together, or a modest family. And we are dog friendly, so there is no need to leave your furry family members behind. Make your memories here and experience living the classic beach lifestyle at The Shack Too.

How to find the best Kill Devil Hills rental home experience:

Getting the best rental home value:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Some owners offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Kill Devil Hills visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines have coupons for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose vacation dates and budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Pet Friendly~Walk to the Beach or Sound~Bikes~Vintage and Original has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.
• If there's a specific Kill Devil Hills beach you are crazy about, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Know before you go:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, note any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the rental manager right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
