Step back in time with us in our historic 3 Bedroom home located just across from the impressive and haunted beaches of the Outer Banks. We are located right across from the beach access, no homes in front just cross the street, climb the dune and you are on the wide sandy beach.

This handsome home is preserved in the same condition as it was constructed, showing the impressive wooden floors, walls and ceilings. The Master Carpenters who constructed these homes constructed the entire interior (floors, walls and ceiling) with the same wood including the kitchen cabinets. Rustic, to be sure, but no worries about the sand that can follow you in and ideal for the little ones, including your 4 legged family members!

This comfortable home has Two Queen Beds with Pillow Top Mattresses, 4 Twin Beds and can comfortably sleep 8 (9 to 10 if some sleepers are little and can sleep on the couches). We have one full bathroom with a combination tub and shower.
We have high speed WiFi and a 65" Intelligent TV to connect to your Netflix or other Streaming Video Services. Central Heat/Air to make you comfortable throughout the year.

We have a completely supplied kitchen for all you culinary needs.

Park right outside your front door and check yourself in and out with the lockbox.

We have high speed WiFi and a 65" Intelligent TV to connect to your Netflix or other Streaming Video Services. Central Heat and air will provide the heat for the offseason and plenty of cooling for the summer. We have a entirely supplied kitchen for all you culinary needs.

Even with a thorough modernization the property is a historical home that is now over 85 years old. It has some eccentricities that reflect building standards and designs from the turn of the last century that lends to its appeal as an older beach bungalow. But even so, we hope that you will appreciate our older and beautiful home.

Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Kitty Hawk rental experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Summer is the most expensive season in Kitty Hawk. To find the most suitable vacation home within budget, we suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kitty Hawk vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Kitty Hawk visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to select the best rental home in Kitty Hawk:

• Select your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. BlackBeard's Retreat has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. If you don't see them listed, email the host before you reserve your rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is optimal for your family.
• Is your group looking for specific amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property owners charge additional pet fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• At Check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to propel more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
