Cozy Cottage with Ocean Vistas!
Settle in for a week of relaxation and fun at The Dolphin Boat! Your modest family and canine companion will appreciate the location of this adorable 3-bedroom, 2-bath bungalow with striking vistas of the Atlantic from your sun deck! When you're ready to hit the sand, the nearest public beach access (White St.) is just a 500-ft walk away making it easier than ever to spend the day splashing in the waves!

As you pull in, a single-lane driveway provides ample parking space. An outdoor shower makes it painless to rinse off the sand after a day at the beach. Head upstairs to the sun deck to find multiple Adirondack chairs to kick back in and soak up the ocean breeze while taking in the extraordinary blue Atlantic vistas! You'll also find an outdoor table on the sun deck, making dining al fresco or evening stargazing fun & convenient.

The main level of this bungalow features an open floorplan with a quirky layout. When you walk through the front door you will be greeted by the bright and cheery living area and kitchen. The family can comfortably hang out together on comfortable furnishings and watch a movie on the flat-screen TV. Whipping up a meal while you're in town is simple thanks to the well-outfitted kitchen. The dining area has a table with seating for four, and you can find two barstools at the close by kitchen island for additional dining space.

Located across from the dining area is where you will find the first of the three bedrooms. This room contains a comfortable queen bed with your own TV, so no more arguing over what to watch! You'll find a full hallway bathroom with a shower/tub combo right beside this bedroom. Head down the hallway and you will find a huge room that doubles as a game room and bedroom that's ideal for the kiddos! This room features a foosball table, loveseat, TV, twin bed, and a pyramid bunk bed (twin bed over double bed). Located off of this room is where you will find the second bathroom this bungalow offers, and it features a shower stall. Connected by a door to the game room/kids room is where you will find the roomy third bedroom featuring a cozy queen bed and other TV! This room has access to a screened-in deck, with a table and twinkling cafe lights strung above. It's the ideal location for appreciating the nighttime breeze from the ocean and playing a family-friendly card game.

Our top Kitty Hawk rental property booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best value:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring months is an excellent way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• In the Kitty Hawk area, The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Booking your rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain discounts for nearby shops and restaurants.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration you need. 4119 The Dolphin Boat * Across Street from Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before booking your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what is best for your vacation group.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Record any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many difficulties.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
