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 gorgeous 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 savor 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 enchanting 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 handsome 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, huge 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 appreciate the outside private shower with hot and cold water with sounds of the surf just over the dune line.

Conclude your day with a beverage and stroll outside to the front gated deck to watch the impressive 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 incredible 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 charming 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.

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 striking 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 painless 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.

Kitty Hawk rental home booking tips:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• Summer time is high season in Kitty Hawk. Booking in the Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kitty Hawk vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply Kitty Hawk area travel guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting the perfect vacation rental in the Kitty Hawk area:

• Start by having your family choose dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family needs. 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 Kitty Hawk vacation rental search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available online. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Traveling with pets? 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! Additional fees or costs might be applied to your contract.

Know before you go:

• Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your home life. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a terrific time? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
