Historic Kitty Hawk Cottage w/ Ocean Vistas
As an important part of Outer Banks history, the Coastal Cottage was originally constructed to stable horses for the Kitty Hawk Lifesaving station in the late 1800's. The horses were used to transport life boats from the boat home to the water and back again when needed. In the mid 1950's, the horse stable was lifted out of the sand and turned into a home, adding two bedrooms, a kitchen, bath, and screened porch at that time. Today, the entire building has undergone major renovations, additions and modernization all while maintaining the original patina of the historic stable. This home is really unique, a ideal blend of modern historic comfort.

Still located exactly where it was originally constructed, the Coastal Cottage sits right on the West side of the beach road providing unobstructed ocean vistas that can be seen throughout the home on the middle and top level! The public beach access is just 175-feet away.

There is parking space for three cars in the driveway and covered parking beneath the carport. Unwind in the bubbly hot tub that sits shaded under the home, ideal for an afternoon soak after a long day of playing in the waves. An enclosed outdoor shower makes it painless to rinse all the sand off your feet. There are 2 points of dry-entry into the home, each up just a couple steps. Inside, a ground-level den features a sizable flat-screen TV with Full Surround Sound and Queen Sleeper Couch for additional sleeping space with access to a convenient Full Bath with a Tub/Shower Combo. Kick back with your favorite tunes by connecting your phone to the Bluetooth Speakers on the back deck.

The living area on the main level features coastal décor, plenty of natural sunlight, exposed beams and pretty wood floors that were once part of the original stable. Parlor on the comfortable furnishings located around the Fireplace to watch a movie on the Flat-Screen TV or relax in the sitting area to savor your favorite book with an ocean view. The modern kitchen has plenty of prep space, new stainless-steel appliances, an island bar with seating, and comes entirely supplied for all of your cooking needs. You'll also appreciate a convenient half bath and mid-level entry into the home through a cavernous laundry room and rear sun deck. Adjacent to the living area is a enormous screened-in porch providing a great place for alfresco dining or appreciating the ocean breeze during a summer storm. The front deck is partially covered giving you the option to lay out in the sun or relax in the shade while staring out over the ocean. There are additional Bluetooth Speakers located in the living area and on the screened porch and deck.

On the main level, you will also find two bedrooms. The first bedroom features 2 Twin beds and has access to the full-sized Bathroom in the hall with shower only. The bath is also attached to the second bedroom; a cozy Queen Master with TV. Upstairs, two more Master bedrooms are available for a great nighttime's rest—a King Master with TV and Attached Full Bath w/ Double Vanity & Shower Only and another Queen Master with TV and Attached Full Bath w/ Shower. Plus, both bedrooms enjoy awe-inspiring ocean vistas!

Tips and Tricks to get the very best Kitty Hawk rental home experience:

When to visit Kitty Hawk & When to reserve a rental home:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the largest rental home within budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Kitty Hawk attractions.
• Owners sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many property management companies supply Kitty Hawk area travel guide magazines that include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing the perfect rental home in Kitty Hawk:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. 4115 Coastal Cottage * 1 Min Walk to Beach has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property management company before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.
• Does your family require particular amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your visit, note any problem areas during arrival. Contact the rental manager right away to relay your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be respectful. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix 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.
