The space

Sea Life Cottage is a vintage bungalow directly on the Atlantic Ocean side of OBX. The home has a washer and dryer, and a entirely equipped kitchen. The bungalow has the original ship lap walls. Future renovations include the primary bedroom and bathroom. The hall bathroom was refreshed January 2024.

You cannot beat the location and convenient access to the beach. You can grab your beach chair, and your drink of choice, and walk to the beach. Head back to the home to make lunch or take a nap, then head back to the beach. No long walks or having to park close by and lug all your gear to the beach! What could be better than the convenience of being ocean front and making it as painless as possible for you and your adored ones and friends to savor the OBX!

I want everybody to be knowledgable of what our impressive bungalow offers, and doesn't. Please respond to the embedded question in the Things to Know, House Rules section in your original request which lets me know you've read all about our home. We don't want you to be surprised upon arrival that our home doesn't fulfill your wishes.

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

When to book & When to go:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the best value, try changing your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. 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? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area visitor guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Begin by selecting your the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Sea Life Cottage - True Oceanfront Home with Ocean Views has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Kill Devil Hills rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible online. If not, call the property manager before reserving the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Know before you go:

• Add the host's contact info to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of problems.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would at home.
• During arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
