About this Property

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 appreciate 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 giant 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 newly added ping pong table, and of course wireless internet and cable TV in each bedroom and living areas.

Our gorgeous home is located in the heart of Kill Devil Hills and is close to many eateries and stores. Appreciate 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 savor the close proximity to the Wright Brothers Memorial National Park, Pier fishing, putt-putt, movie theaters, go carts, boat units, eateries and stores galore!

Tips to get the perfect vacation home experience:

How to get the best value:

• In the Kill Devil Hills area, The sooner your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Reserve your Kill Devil Hills rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply Kill Devil Hills area visitors guides that include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, picking, and booking yourvacation home:

• Select vacation dates and budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. SPACIOUS FAMILY FRIENDLY HOME, 300 STEPS TO BEACH, PRIVATE POOL/HOT TUB has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. If you don't see them listed, call the host before you reserve your rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your visit, note any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the rental manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on great feedback to propel future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
