Unwind on the patio or in the hot tub after a day of beaching or shopping, or appreciate the H/C outdoor shower for a real OBX treat! Dozens of eateries are within 10 miles, there's a grocery store within one mile and tons of stores as well. Thoughtfully furnished with a few sturdy antiques and modern amenities like an Echo dot, it's ideal for two. Comfy chairs at the dining table provide a place to relax with a book or computer when you're not eating. Chill with the 40' flat screen tv (Roku + Hulu + Netflix + more) in the bedroom with queen bed and charging stations for all of your devices. Less expensive than a motel and more private, the Studio has just enough kitchen (sink, modest refrigerator, micro, Keurig single-cup coffeemaker, induction burner and toaster/convection oven) to prepare a little supper and plenty of room to unpack and relax.

Your private patio is on the back of the home and sports a sectional couch, a gas grille (gas supplied), a hot tub and H/C outdoor shower.

All linens are included and are laundered with hypo-allergenic/scent complimentary products. We also supply toilet paper, soap, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel for your convenience. In the kitchen you'll find dish soap, a few pods of coffee to get you started, and a few basic cooking supplies. Please don't forget to bring your own beach towels and chairs. Family Animals will be considered for an additional $100 each fee. (Two family pets max)

In consideration of future guests, air frying is not allowed in the Studio. There is a table on the patio with an outlet next to it that may be used for using your Air Fryer. An additional cleaning charge must be applied if air frying has occurred inside.

This is the separate ground floor apartment in our home and we live and work upstairs, so we'll be sharing an ordinary home without any special soundproofing. We have supplied an air purifier in the bedroom that works as a white noise machine, as well. We make additional efforts to be peaceful early and late and hope you will, too.

You can lock and unlock the door with your smartphone, using a unique virtual key or personal entry code issued to you for the duration of your stay. We also offer regular keys.
Other things to note
Fact is the Outer Banks is on a major hurricane track. If you are concerned about a hurricane ruining your trip, we encourage you to purchase separate trip insurance. Sadly, if an evacuation is declared the law requires you to leave the OBX and we can't refund you.

Our top Vacation rental tips and tricks:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• Summer months are high season in the Kill Devil Hills area. Book your rental property in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 loved ones at the beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many property management companies supply Kill Devil Hills area visitor guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting the perfect rental home:

• Start by choosing your a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Studio Sea • Private hot tub! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the host before you book your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or could be applied to your contract.

More considerations for your visit:

• Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to drive future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
