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 completely 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 pretty 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 to get the best Kitty Hawk rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Booking your Kitty Hawk vacation rental in Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Kitty Hawk 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 the beach.
• Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, 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 occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kitty Hawk area visitor guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Kitty Hawk visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and choose the perfectrental:

• Start by selecting your vacation dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. 4020 Gardners Hut * Oceanfront * Walk to Dining has 4 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking websites. If not, email the property management company before reserving the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a particular Kitty Hawk beach you crave, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of problems.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to 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. If the manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on good reviews to drive more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
