We want to give you a preview of our beach home located just north of Duck, North Carolina. We're excited that you're thinking about renting the place, and we hope you'll have a great visit to the Outer Banks!

Our cute little place is soundfront. There's a bench swing in the tree behind the home where you can swing by the water's edge, and there is a set of stairs that lead from the back yard down into the water. The beach is a short walk away on the other side of the island - it's a 5 min. walk. There's a wide, paved bicycle path that passes in front of our place and leads into the little town of Duck, about two miles away.

The home has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms connected by a jack-and-jill bathroom. One of the bedrooms has two twin beds, and the other bedroom has a queen size bed and a sitting area with a TV and dvd player. There is also a balcony that is only accessible from the enormous upstairs bedroom. There is also a master bedroom on the main level.

On the main level, there is a great room. There is a dining table that seats six, and there is an island with seating for two between the kitchen and the dining area. In the living area, there is a appreciate seat, a couch, and a chair in addition to a TV and dvd player. There is also a non-working fireplace for ambiance in cooler months. There is also a master bedroom and bathroom on the main level.

There are three sliding glass doors that lead out from the great room onto the deck that wraps around two sides of the home. The deck faces the Currituck Sound, so you can see the sun set over the water each evening. There is also an additional extension to the deck that holds a hot tub.

A door leads from the kitchen out to a screened in porch where you can savor outdoor dining, and the porch exits to the deck. Under the home, there is a laundry room and an enclosed outdoor shower. There is also space to park under the home if you want.

The kitchen is entirely outfitted with nearly any dish or cooking equipment you might need. We leave some things in the refrigerator and freezer empty, such as condiments. You'll find that there is a cabinet with some oil and spices, and there may be another shelf with pantry items that we leave at the home. You are welcome to use anything you find in the refrigerator or cabinets; we'll just ask that you replace anything that you use up. This is atypical with beach home units, but this way you don't have to remember to bring your own salt shaker, and we don't have to clean out every speck of evidence that we spend time here, too.

We also have an additional closet with a lock on in the master bedroom on the main floor where we our clothes and toys for our visits. Nothing interesting really, just our personal stuff. We have numerous board games and puzzles that are available for you to use, and you're welcome to use any of the beach toys and chairs in the storage room. There are two kayaks and a surfboard on the rack under the deck; you are welcome to use those. Please don't attempt to use the sailboats unless you are an experienced sailor and have checked with us ahead of time about using them.

One of the best things about the location of our home is experiencing sunset over the Currituck Sound! We hope you have a great vacation!

Strategies for getting the best Kitty Hawk vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Kitty Hawk vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Kitty Hawk visitors guide magazine 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 deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by having your group commit to dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Spring is great at the beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before you book the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

Considerations for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• During arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to stimulate new reservations. They'll be thankful 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. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
