We freshly purchased our Saltbox Style Cottage here on the Outer Banks! This neighborhood is one of our favorite locations on the entire barrier island. We live just a few homes away from our new rental. EVERYTHING is new 2022! We have spent the last few months preparing for YOU, our guests, to appreciate this bungalow over these summer months. Packed with quality features from floor to memory foam beds cleaned and encased for additional tranquility of mind. We have a high-level of cleanliness expectations for our property that we know our guests savor. While this bungalow is a new listing, we have owned and rented multiple properties across the barrier island since 2014. We are professional hosts that live here locally and take great care of our guests and our property!

You will enjoy our neighborhood! Our beach access is just a .5 mi or 10 min. walk from the bungalow on the way is Dunkin Donuts and Ashley's Espresso Parlour, which serves coffee, wine and beer. Behind Ashley's Espresso Parlour is Mom's Sweet Shop, which is a retail store and an ice cream spot! Eateries and shopping are also walkable in the Seagate North Shopping Center.

Walk back to the 'sound side' via the stoplight and pedestrian crosswalk to enjoy the miles of walking and cycling paths on Bay Drive bordering the Albemarle Sound and Kitty Hawk Bay. There are two community sound accesses close by - the one turning right does not have parking, the one to the left on Bay Drive has 3 available parking spots along with a dock and gazebo with swimming access. These are the BEST spots to swim, launch a kayak or take in the sunset over the water. For those with bicycles, you can bicycle the entire 2.5 mi Bay Drive Multi-Use Path or continue down W First Street to the Wright Brother's Monument. Access is by the air field entering in the back of the park.

Also walkable is Heaven Golf and Arcade with Mini Golf, Bumper Vehicles, Go-Karts and Arcade. Several eateries like Henry's Restaurant, Two Roads Tavern, Chili Peppers and Brew Thru (for drinks).

OWNER NOTES - The yard is in a transitional phase, after 20 years without maintenance, we are in the process of riding the yard of thorns and weeds. We DO NOT recommend using the yard for our guests. We have a great concrete area underneath the home with picnic table, hot tub and bar seating. *Parking is limited to three cars. No yard or street parking possible at our location.

Additionally, we live locally just a few homes away from our rental property. This property is not suitable for events, events or illegal activities. We are excited to share our beach home, which we reserve in the off-season for our family members. Our neighborhood consists of full-time residents (like us), second home owners and a modest number of rental properties. WE INSIST THAT ALL RENTERS respect our neighbors at the property and the noise ordinance in our town to reduce outdoor noise after 10:00 pm at nighttime.

Lastly, family pets! We are big dog people. However, dogs should not be left barking in the home all-day causing a disturbance to neighbors. Please plan for your pet on these hot summer days! Most importantly, all pets should be flea and tick complimentary prior to arrival and on flea and tick preventative. If the property requires pest treatment, the guest will be penalized.

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

When to book & When to go:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. To book the best rental home within budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 family and friends at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area travel guide magazines that include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the perfect rental in the Kill Devil Hills area:

• Choose your dates and max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Renovated, Pet-Friendly, with HOT TUB - Highly Walkable Location has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before you book your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what configuration is right for your trip.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Kill Devil Hills attraction you are enamored with, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many issues.
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Keep your property safe!
• During arrival, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
