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 relaxing and roomy setting, and yet is less than a mile to the beach and sound. Recently entirely 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 sizable backyard with your own private deck with seating and a grille. It’s a peaceful 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.

Rental booking tips and tricks:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply Kitty Hawk area visitors guide magazines that include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Kitty Hawk visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.
