About this Property

• Sleeps 10

• Private vacation home
• Approximately 3000 square feet

Welcome to “Lobstah Tales”. Our family loves spending time in the Outer Banks, so purchasing this home was a dream come true.

New for 2025 - New roof, pool fence and family room couches!

Lobstah Tales is ideal for a family beach vacation hideaway. We have two kids and savor kid-friendly accommodations when we travel. It is located only 300 feet from a direct beach access that hosts a lifeguard station! That was a humongous additional for our family - quickly running back to the home to grab a forgotten item is so convenient! The pool and hot tub are the ideal way to end a long beach day, wash off in the outdoor shower and jump on in! For rainy day family activities, the home features puzzles and games as well as a rec room with a foosball table and freshly added ping pong table, and of course wireless internet and cable TV in each bedroom and living areas.

Our charming home is located in the heart of Kill Devil Hills and is close to many eateries and stores. Savor vistas from 3 different decks (one with a screened porch). You can see the Wright Monument from the back, or take in partial ocean vistas from our favorite reading spot deck on the third floor.

Looking for activities? Your family will appreciate the close proximity to the Wright Brothers Memorial National Park, Pier fishing, putt-putt, movie theaters, go carts, boat units, eateries and stores galore!

Tricks and tips to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in the Kill Devil Hills area. To book the best vacation home within budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time 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 can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area visitor guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• First and foremost, have your group select the best dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. SPACIOUS FAMILY FRIENDLY HOME, 300 STEPS TO BEACH, PRIVATE POOL\/HOT TUB has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly available online. Otherwise, email the property management company before booking your home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or charges might be applied to your agreement.
• If there's a certain Kill Devil Hills attraction you simply love, browse rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental

Have a wonderful stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the host right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a fantastic source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to confirm you have not leave anything behind. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. 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 feedback.
