About this Property

• Sleeps 8
• 3 Bedrooms

• Approximately 1650 square feet

Step back in time with us in our historic 3 Bedroom home located just across from the beautiful and haunted beaches of the Outer Banks. We are located right across from the beach access, no homes in front just cross the street, climb the dune and you are on the wide sandy beach.

This handsome home is preserved in the same condition as it was constructed, showing the impressive wooden floors, walls and ceilings. The Master Carpenters who constructed these homes constructed the entire interior (floors, walls and ceiling) with the same wood including the kitchen cabinets. Rustic, to be sure, but no worries about the sand that can follow you in and ideal for the little ones, including your 4 legged family members!

This comfortable home has Two Queen Beds with Pillow Top Mattresses, 4 Twin Beds and can comfortably sleep 8 (9 to 10 if some sleepers are little and can sleep on the couches). We have one full bathroom with a combination tub and shower.
We have high speed WiFi and a 65" Intelligent TV to connect to your Netflix or other Streaming Video Services. Central Heat/Air to make you comfortable throughout the year.

We have a completely supplied kitchen for all you culinary needs.

Park right outside your front door and check yourself in and out with the lockbox.

We have high speed WiFi and a 65" Intelligent TV to connect to your Netflix or other Streaming Video Services. Central Heat and air will provide the heat for the offseason and plenty of cooling for the summer. We have a entirely outfitted kitchen for all you culinary needs.

Even with a thorough modernization the property is a historical home that is now over 85 years old. It has some eccentricities that reflect building standards and designs from the turn of the last century that lends to its appeal as an older beach bungalow. But even so, we hope that you will adore our older and impressive home.

Tips and Tricks to get the optimal Kitty Hawk vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• Reserve your Kitty Hawk vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Kitty Hawk area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain coupons for local shops and restaurants.

Planning and picking the rightrental:

• First and foremost, have your family commit to trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. BlackBeard's Retreat has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Is your group looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs might be applied to your invoice.

More considerations:

• Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Record any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if a dispute is filed.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean 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 group have a fantastic stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
