Sit back and relax on your private deck or walk to the beach in just 5 mins..

This guest bungalow is located behind the main home, but detached so you have your own deck, entry, and privacy. There is a kitchenette, full bathroom with shower, king size bed and a flat screen TV. We have a toaster, Keurig, plug in induction prepare top, and all needed cooking silverware, pot and pan.

Located in Southern Shores and on a peaceful street just 5 mins. from the beach.

5 min. walk to the beach, 5 min. drive to the Town of Duck or Kitty Hawk.

We do allow family pets with prior approval. Pet fee is $95 per stay ( we allow only one pet). The pet fee is non negotiable, we have pets and want to keep our units pet friendly but even the best of pets have more wear and tear than you’d think. The property is located on a peaceful street but does back up to Duck rd. There is a privacy fence but you can hear the cars passing by. We still appreciate the area and privacy this woodsy land provides. ***Outer Banks & Bugs - the outer banks has a variety of wildlife - and palmetto bugs / water bugs are one of them - especially after heavy rains and high humidity - we have all our units on monthly pest control treatment but we like to give guests a heads up as sometimes you will see them dead inside***

Tricks and tips for getting the perfect vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Reserve your Kitty Hawk vacation in the Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for local shops and restaurants.

Make a plan and choose the best Kitty Hawk rental:

• Select a group leader, select your vacation week, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Live Oak Cottage - 'tiny house' \/ walk to beach has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Kitty Hawk vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before booking your home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or might be applied to your agreement.

Some things to know before you go:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During check-in, make note of any damages to 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, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peace. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
