Classic Oceanfront Cottage
Don't miss this rare opportunity to stay in a classic Kitty Hawk bungalow. Step into history—back into a much simpler time when the marvelous ocean vistas were your best form of entertainment. You'll appreciate the modern amenities of this vintage home and you'll appreciate being able to walk out onto the beach anytime you want.

Downstairs, there is plenty of parking space in the driveway along with 2 carports for covered parking. An outdoor shower makes it simple to rinse the sand off after a long day of playing on the beach. Enter the home through the covered porch on the first level. A comfortable living area is the ideal place to gather around with your family and plan out your day. A entirely supplied kitchen offers everything you need to prepare a delicious meal and the dining table makes a great spot for family dinners. To really embrace the classic bungalow experience, step outside on your oceanfront covered deck and spend the day soaking in that ocean breeze.

When it's time to retire for the evening, choose between one of four calming bedrooms. Downstairs, there are two bedrooms each featuring a cozy Queen bed. Upstairs, you'll find two rooms with Queen Beds and a Loft with 2 Twin Beds to provide plenty of sleeping options for the whole family! All bedrooms have access to a full bathroom on the first level.

Surrounded by Conveniences and Attractions
Located along the gorgeous dunes, Gardner's Hut is located near fun, local attractions, dining options, and shopping centers. Just steps away are two of Kitty Hawk's best eateries—Ocean Boulevard Bistro and Martini Bar (where you can savor a delicious seafood dinner) and Art's Place (the ideal location to grab a fast burger and cool drink on a hot summer day). For a fun family outing, challenge yourself at OBXscape Rooms in Southern Shores, bring on the competition at Turf's Up indoor sports arena in Kitty Hawk, or enjoy a relaxing game of putt-putt at Heaven Golf & Arcade. Take a day trip up to Corolla to see the wild Mustangs roam the beach or visit Hatteras Island to the South to see historic sites like the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Chicamacomico Lifesaving Station and the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum. Whether you stay in Kitty Hawk or discover everything the Outer Banks has to offer, you'll always adore coming back home to Gardner's Hut at the end of the day!

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Kitty Hawk vacation home experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• Summer is high season in Kitty Hawk. To book the most suitable vacation home within budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• In the Kitty Hawk area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.

• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it.
