This cozy and comfortable 1960's beach front bungalow has been lovingly refreshed with most modern amenities while maintaining the serene bungalow vibe for your enjoyment. As soon as you walk up to the front door and unlock the intelligent lock with your personal code, you enter into "Serenity" and see the handsome Atlantic beckoning you. Classic board and batten walls and refinished original tongue and groove Southern pine floors fill the bungalow with a nod toward a more simple and laid back time. Just ideal to appreciate your beach and ocean get-away. The sand and waves are only a few steps from the covered and gated porch.
Serenity Oceanside is located at roughly mile post 2.5 on the beach road. The bungalow is close to many eateries, shopping and family fun activities, many within walking/cycling distance. This location is also great for a couples only getaway, girls or guys get-away to spend time on the beach, shop, golf or fish.
Serenity Oceanside will ideally accommodate up to seven in three bedrooms. Two queen bedrooms includes one ocean-front and one semi-oceanfront, also with great ocean vistas. Each of these rooms also has ceiling fans. The third bedroom has a pyramid bunk bed, that can sleep up to three with an oscillating floor fan. All bedrooms are appointed with intelligent TVs. Sail off to sleep on premium beds and pillows, while listening to the surf.
Whip up your favorite meal or catch of the day with GE appliances and charming Maui Quartz countertops and granite sink in the well-equipped kitchen. You won't miss a min. of the waves, during meal prep and clean up, as the kitchen has striking vistas of the beach.
Savor your morning coffee on the covered porch overlooking the Atlantic. Take a leisurely walk on the beach to watch the sun rise, pelicans fly overhead and dolphin and fish play in the waves. Unwind and rejuvenate at Serenity Oceanside.
Relish your time off the beach in the comfortably furnished open living room with cozy slip covered furnishings, enormous flat screen TV, bar area, board games and books. Keep cool with central air and ceiling and floor fans in all bedrooms. Appreciate your meals at a rustic white washed pine dining table overlooking the Atlantic or at the picnic table on the back porch. You just can't get closer to the sights, sounds and salty air of the beach than at Serenity Oceanside Cottage.
Don't let one-bathroom home dissuade you from this cozy bungalow. Enjoy the completely remodeled bathroom, which includes a ship-lap shower while gazing at the waves roll in or savor the outside private shower with hot and cold water with sounds of the surf just over the dune line.
Conclude your day with a drink and stroll outside to the front gated deck to watch the grand colors of the OBX sunsets. Let your gaze drift to the nighttime sky to see twinkling stars and planets overhead. A walk on the nighttime beach beckons where ghost crabbing is always a favorite with the kids!
For the snorkeling aficionados, check out the British Steamer Mountaineer Wreck also known as the Wink's Wreck. It was stranded December 25th, 1852 and is located 100 yards offshore and roughly 100 yards South of the bungalow. It's estimated at a depth of 10 to 30 feet. It's a local favorite and our son loves to dive "snorkel" the wreck! Google for Wink's Wreck or Kitty Hawk Mountaineer Steamer Wreck for more info.
Serenity Oceanside is located within walking distance to Ocean Boulevard Bistro & Martini Bar (Wedding Wire 2019 Couples' Choice Award Winner) serving a delicious nightly menu, including vegetarian options and stop by their fabulous Martini Bar. If eating the best burger on the beach in flip flops is on your bucket list, you are in luck and it's also within walking distance! Try Art's Place, featured in "Our State" magazine and winning Finest Burger on the Beach, they serve a killer homemade breakfast, lunch and dinner. Enjoy casual food and beverages on their "sway" bar with elegant expansive vistas of the Atlantic and live music in their "backyard".
Slow down and enjoy Serenity Oceanside and all that the OBX has to offer. From shelling, fishing, soaking up the sun, surfing, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, cycling, hiking in our maritime forests to taking a tour to see wild horses run complimentary on the beaches....a week will fly by but you will be making memories that will last a lifetime.
The bungalow has parking for two cars and is dog friendly. The updated bungalow includes an indoor washer and dryer for your convenience, updated bathroom with ship-lap shower and kitchen appliances. The bungalow does not have a dishwasher, but clean up will be a breeze in the granite sink with Maui Quartz countertops overlooking the sand and waves. Free WiFi throughout the bungalow with streaming YouTube-TV.

Things To Do:
If you want to discover all that the OBX has to offer, Serenity Oceanside, located in Kitty Hawk, is just a short drive to Duck, Kill Devil Hills, and Nags Head. You'll find many local eateries, stores with that ideal souvenir, as well as, putt-putt golf and the always fun H2OBX Water Park. And what would summer be without ice cream....John's Drive-in is another OBX staple, just a short bicycle ride down the road from the bungalow. Owned and operated by the same OBX family, it is in its 46th year, and has an awe-inspiring menu and complimentary "puppy" cups if you bring Fido!
The beach, that outstanding merging of ocean and sand that seems so ideal will always be the draw, but there is another side to this strip of sand, another world of beauty and wonder waiting for the slightly adventurous. Don't forget to discover the four protected maritime forests located sound-side. Although they seem to be a world apart from the seashore, they are heavily forested but with simple trails, and they call out to be explored. A photographer's delight.
Take a short drive to Kill Devil Hills (about 5 miles from the bungalow) and discover the Wright Brothers National Memorial. Wind, sand, and a dream of flight brought Wilbur and Orville Wright to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina where, after four years of scientific experimentation, they achieved the first successful airplane flights on December 17, 1903 and taught the world to fly!
In Nags Head, about 10 miles from the bungalow, you'll find the tallest living sand dune on the Atlantic coast and is a premier location for kites, sightseeing and sunsets, with a view arcing from the ocean to Roanoke Sound. A visitor center with museum and 360-foot boardwalk with exhibits explain the dune’s ecology and are a gradual entry to the massive dune field. Sandboarding is welcome with permit and hang-gliding is available through a vendor. Shoes and sun protection are recommended.
A binder in the bungalow will provide additional information on things to do.

How to get the best Kitty Hawk rental experience:
When to book & When to go:
- 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 book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
- June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To get the best value, change your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
- Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
- Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
- Find a copy of your local Kitty Hawk visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.
Planning and choosing the rightrental:
- Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a budget.
- Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. SERENITY AWAITS...AWESOME Reviews-1960's Cozy Ocean-Front and Fido Friendly too! has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
- Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before you book the property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
- Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property manager about pets before booking.
- Does your group require particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
- Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
Tips for a smooth stay:
- Get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
- Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many concerns.
- Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
- Upon arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
- Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
- Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently 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 bird watching?
- Double-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
- Walk through the property a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
- Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to compel new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
