We newly 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 numerous 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.

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

Sticking to a rental budget:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Kill Devil Hills area. To book the best rental home for your budget, we suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area visitors guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning, selecting, and booking the rightrental home:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and choose a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration you need. Renovated, Pet-Friendly, with HOT TUB - Highly Walkable Location has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available online. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or charges applied to your agreement.

More considerations for your visit:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Note any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
