About this Property

• Sleeps 8
• 3 Bedrooms

• Approximately 1650 square feet

Step back in time with us in our historic 3 Bedroom home located just across from the handsome 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 elegant home is preserved in the same condition as it was constructed, showing the magnificant 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 entirely 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 completely 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 adore our older and beautiful home.

Tips and Tricks to get the optimal rental experience:

Get the most from your budget:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, consider changing your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kitty Hawk vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Many rental management companies supply Kitty Hawk area visitors guides which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Finding the best rental home:

• Begin by choosing your vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. BlackBeard's Retreat has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the host before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? 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 rental agreement! Extra fees or charges could be applied to your invoice.
• If there's an individual Kitty Hawk beach you simply love, browse homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many problems.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your home life. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
