About this Property

• Private vacation home
• Approximately 1200 square feet

Henry's Castle is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath "beach box" type bungalow centrally located on Duck Rd. in the community of Southern Shores. Close to everything in Duck and Kitty Hawk, but with a "tucked away" feel on a huge wooded lot. Freshly decorated and furnished, with a Boho style retro feel, tile floors, wrap-around deck with screened in porch and picnic table, and a crows nest.

The home is an roughly 1/3 mile walk to the nearest beach access. Beach accesses in the community of Southern Shores are only for residents and guests and most do not provide parking of any kind, so our walkable accesses and the beaches are remarkably uncrowded even in the peak of summer.

If you would like to drive to an access, we provide a parking pass for the Southern Shores Civic Association beach access at Hillcrest Drive. The site has 2 showers, toilets, a gazebo, benches, and a viewing platform. The beach and viewing platform are wheelchair accessible. A volleyball court has been constructed at this site, as well. We are members of the Tennis Club, so a pass for the courts on Hillcrest Drive is also supplied.

The bungalow has an open concept living room and (entirely outfitted) kitchen/dining area area, with tile floors throughout the home, and a wraparound deck with a gas grille, screened porch with a picnic table for outdoor dining.

The master bedroom features a queen size bed and en-suite bathroom.
The second bedroom features a queen size bed.
The third bedroom features a single over double bunkbed set.
All bedrooms have memory foam beds, high quality cotton sheets, and Roku streaming TVs.


On the ground level the workshop/storage room has been converted into a game room (not attached from the inside) to a "Game Room" with a full-size refrigerator, intelligent TV, foosball, ping pong, and darts. Under the home, we provide a hammock, cornhole, and ladder ball games for outside. For cooler nights there is a fire pit oustide in the "backyard" area.

*Please note - our "yard" is intentionally left with the Outer Banks' natural, slightly rugged, indigenous landscape. It is not manicured or necessarily suited for kids or dogs to use or play in. (We don't mind if you savor the space, but it is "as is".) Also, the game room is a converted storage area not connected to central air and heat, but we have a portable a/c unit in the room that you can use in warmer months for climate control.

The bungalow is located just 2 miles from the Village of Duck with its wide selection of walkable eateries and shopping options and 4 miles from the Harris Teeter and Food Lion grocery stores and Wal-Mart shopping center.

We also provide a beach cart and some limited beach gear for your use.

We supply the first roll of toilet paper and paper towels, but guests are responsible for needs after that.

Propane for the gas grille is on a "pay it forward" system - if you use the last of the tank, please exchange it at a local grocery store, Walmart, 7-11, or Ace Hardware. Also, please clean the grille for the next guest before you checkout.

Beach gear - if you use it, please rinse it and put it back as you found it before you check-out. If you break something, please replace it with something equivalent.

Loss of Tennis Club or Parking Passes will result in a $100 fee for replacement.

PLEASE NOTE - IF BRINGING A DOG.

*Dogs must be disclosed, included in the reservation, and approved by us. The max. is 2 dogs.

*Pet owners must clean up after their family pets. This includes waste in the "yard" and sweeping up excess hair in the home. If you know your pet sits on furnishings, please bring additional sheets or blankets to mitigate hair on the furnishings. We rovide a lint roller.

*Dogs must be well-socialized, FRIENDLY TO HUMANS in case we need to access the home for a maintenance issue, up to date on flea meds and shots, and not left unattended or uncrated in the home for extended periods.

Tips and Tricks for getting the best Kitty Hawk rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• In the Kitty Hawk area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• To book the largest rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at Kitty Hawk restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to pick the perfect vacation home:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your dates, and choose a budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Duck Road Central Location????Dog Friendly????Parking &Tennis Pass?Walk to the Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Kitty Hawk vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available online. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before you book the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is right for your family.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Note any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
