Classic Oceanfront Cottage
Don't miss this rare opportunity to stay in a classic Kitty Hawk bungalow. Step into history—back into a much simpler time when the amazing ocean vistas were your best form of entertainment. You'll appreciate the modern amenities of this vintage home and you'll adore being able to walk out onto the beach anytime you want.

Downstairs, there is plenty of parking space in the driveway along with 2 carports for covered parking. An outdoor shower makes it simple to rinse the sand off after a long day of playing on the beach. Enter the home through the covered porch on the first level. A comfortable living area is the ideal place to gather around with your family and plan out your day. A entirely outfitted kitchen offers everything you need to prepare a delicious meal and the dining table makes a great spot for family dinners. To really embrace the classic bungalow experience, step outside on your oceanfront covered deck and spend the day soaking in that ocean breeze.

When it's time to retire for the evening, choose between one of four calming bedrooms. Downstairs, there are two bedrooms each featuring a cozy Queen bed. Upstairs, you'll find two rooms with Queen Beds and a Loft with 2 Twin Beds to provide plenty of sleeping options for the whole family! All bedrooms have access to a full bathroom on the first level.

Surrounded by Conveniences and Attractions
Located along the charming dunes, Gardner's Hut is located near fun, local attractions, dining options, and shopping centers. Just steps away are two of Kitty Hawk's best eateries—Ocean Boulevard Bistro and Martini Bar (where you can savor a delicious seafood dinner) and Art's Place (the ideal location to grab a fast burger and cool drink on a hot summer day). For a fun family outing, challenge yourself at OBXscape Rooms in Southern Shores, bring on the competition at Turf's Up indoor sports arena in Kitty Hawk, or enjoy a relaxing game of putt-putt at Heaven Golf & Arcade. Take a day trip up to Corolla to see the wild Mustangs roam the beach or visit Hatteras Island to the South to see historic sites like the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Chicamacomico Lifesaving Station and the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum. Whether you stay in Kitty Hawk or discover everything the Outer Banks has to offer, you'll always appreciate coming back home to Gardner's Hut at the end of the day!

Strategies to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

When to visit Kitty Hawk & When to reserve a rental home:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Kitty Hawk visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides have deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Finding the best rental home:

• First and foremost, have your group select a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. 4020 Gardners Hut * Oceanfront * Walk to Dining has 4 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property management company before you reserve the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your . We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's stay, record any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the rental manager right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually 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?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
