About this Property

• Sleeps 7
• 3 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home
• Approximately 1200 square feet

Henry's Castle is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath "beach box" type bungalow centrally located on Duck Rd. in the community of Southern Shores. Close to everything in Duck and Kitty Hawk, but with a "tucked away" feel on a enormous wooded lot. Freshly decorated and furnished, with a Boho style retro feel, tile floors, wrap-around deck with screened in porch and picnic table, and a crows nest.

The home is an roughly 1/3 mile walk to the nearest beach access. Beach accesses in the community of Southern Shores are only for residents and guests and most do not provide parking of any kind, so our walkable accesses and the beaches are remarkably uncrowded even in the peak of summer.

If you would like to drive to an access, we provide a parking pass for the Southern Shores Civic Association beach access at Hillcrest Drive. The site has 2 showers, toilets, a gazebo, benches, and a viewing platform. The beach and viewing platform are wheelchair accessible. A volleyball court has been constructed at this site, as well. We are members of the Tennis Club, so a pass for the courts on Hillcrest Drive is also supplied.

The bungalow has an open concept living room and (entirely outfitted) kitchen/dining area area, with tile floors throughout the home, and a wraparound deck with a gas grille, screened porch with a picnic table for outdoor dining.

The master bedroom features a queen size bed and en-suite bathroom.
The second bedroom features a queen size bed.
The third bedroom features a single over double bunkbed set.
All bedrooms have memory foam beds, high quality cotton sheets, and Roku streaming TVs.


On the ground level the workshop/storage room has been converted into a game room (not attached from the inside) to a "Game Room" with a full-size refrigerator, intelligent TV, foosball, ping pong, and darts. Under the home, we provide a hammock, cornhole, and ladder ball games for outside. For cooler nights there is a fire pit oustide in the "backyard" area.

*Please note - our "yard" is intentionally left with the Outer Banks' natural, slightly rugged, indigenous landscape. It is not manicured or necessarily suited for kids or dogs to use or play in. (We don't mind if you appreciate the space, but it is "as is".) Also, the game room is a converted storage area not connected to central air and heat, but we have a portable a/c unit in the room that you can use in warmer months for climate control.

The bungalow is located just 2 miles from the Village of Duck with its wide selection of walkable eateries and shopping options and 4 miles from the Harris Teeter and Food Lion grocery stores and Wal-Mart shopping center.

We also provide a beach cart and some limited beach gear for your use.

We supply the first roll of toilet paper and paper towels, but guests are responsible for needs after that.

Propane for the gas grille is on a "pay it forward" system - if you use the last of the tank, please exchange it at a local grocery store, Walmart, 7-11, or Ace Hardware. Also, please clean the grille for the next guest before you checkout.

Beach gear - if you use it, please rinse it and put it back as you found it before you check-out. If you break something, please replace it with something equivalent.

Loss of Tennis Club or Parking Passes will result in a $100 fee for replacement.

PLEASE NOTE - IF BRINGING A DOG.

*Dogs must be disclosed, included in the reservation, and approved by us. The max. is 2 dogs.

*Pet owners must clean up after their family pets. This includes waste in the "yard" and sweeping up excess hair in the home. If you know your pet sits on furnishings, please bring additional sheets or blankets to mitigate hair on the furnishings. We rovide a lint roller.

*Dogs must be well-socialized, FRIENDLY TO HUMANS in case we need to access the home for a maintenance issue, up to date on flea meds and shots, and not left unattended or uncrated in the home for extended periods.

Strategies to get the perfect Kitty Hawk rental experience:

Get the most from your budget:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring is a great way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Kitty Hawk vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kitty Hawk area travel guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Kitty Hawk visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and picking the best Kitty Hawk rental:

• Select a group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Duck Road Central Location????Dog Friendly????Parking &Tennis Pass?Walk to the Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before reserving the rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what is suitable for your vacation group.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Does your group require specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More tips for your stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few issues.
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Document any issues with the property during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a terrific time? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
