The space
The Vintage Beach Cottage is a marriage of beach-country. Located in the heart of historic Kitty Hawk Village, the bungalow is in a peaceful and roomy setting, and yet is less than a mile to the beach and sound. Recently completely restored with vintage charm and decor (& queen-size memory foam bed). The space is ideal for accommodating two guests. However, if you'd don't mind being comfortable, there is room for an additional infant or kid. We have a cot and a playpen to meet this need.
Guest access
The Vintage Beach Cottage is a detached, private building located in the backyard of our private residence. You will have access to park in the front of our home and walk around back to the guest quarters.
Other things to note
You will also have use of the enormous backyard with your own private deck with seating and a grille. It’s a calming space and the star-gazing at nighttime is striking back there! Since the beach and sound are both a short bicycle ride away, you will have access to bicycles, body boards and a double kayak.

Our top Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation property six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Summertime is high season in Kitty Hawk. To find the most suitable rental for your budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular Kitty Hawk attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, property management companies supply Kitty Hawk area travel guide magazines that include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Kitty Hawk area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Start by choosing potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration you need. Vintage Beach Cottage (Outer Banks, NC) has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• 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. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or charges could be applied to your contract.
• If there's an individual Kitty Hawk beach you are enamored with, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

Advice for your stay:

• Add the owner's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of difficulties.
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• At Check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. 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 your family have a great vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, 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.
