Driftwood Cottage: Memorable Family Beach House with a Coastal View. Whether it’s your first time at the beach, or if you are a regular visitor, Driftwood Beach House is waiting for you to come and appreciate all that the Outer Banks has to offer. Located right in Kitty Hawk, this handsome beach home with four bedrooms and three full baths, is the ideal family hideaway. Ideally, this home would be most comfortable for one huge family or two smaller families and can accommodate up to 10 people.
The space
This home is in a prime location for those most valuable young family members that need a short walk to the beach. Driftwood offers direct beach access! After a very short walk (literally only about 125 steps), you will be walking on the beach and soaking up the sunshine for the day. The outdoor shower is ideal for rinsing off sandy toes when returning from the beach.

While at Driftwood, at least once, get up early and view impressive sunrises from the upper deck with a hot cup of coffee. The deck is a great place to relax in the evening after a good meal as you savor the evening ocean vistas, the breeze, and good conversations.

The main entry has a keyless entry and opens to the lower level of the home. This level of the home has three bedrooms and two full bathrooms; one bedroom has a queen sized bed w/Roku TV, one bedroom has a double bed with a workstation, and one room with 2 sets of bunk beds. Bed linens are supplied! There is also a laundry room with access to a washer and dryer. At the end of the hallway, you will find stairs that will lead you up to the main/upper level of the home. The upstairs kitchen/dining room & living room is open concept with plenty of seating to relax with the entire family and features a sizable 65” Roku TV. Lastly, you will find the primary bedroom with a queen bed, Roku TV and ensuite bathroom. There is High-Speed Internet Access so the family can stay connected during their vacation. Around the home you will also find a few kids’s books and games for the family to enjoy.

The kitchen is brand new entirely supplied with every appliance you may need to prepare meals including a dish washer (because who wants to do dishes on vacation!). A propane grille is also available. If you are in no mood to prepare, try out some delicious eateries in the area such as the Outer Banks Brewing Station, Black Pelican, Art’s Place, and Henry’s Diner. There are multiple other great eateries in the area as well. There are close by grocery stores (like Harris Teeter or Publix) and many souvenir stores. But if there is one thing you should do on your vacation, it’s to sit back and relax.

The home is well outfitted, comfortable, and very conducive for a multi-generation vacation. You’re not going to want to leave!

Places to Visit: Holy Cow Creamery (it’s incredibly good!), Jockey Ridge Park (the dunes are a must!), Lost Treasure Mini Golf, Duck Donuts, Duck boardwalk, the piers, go see the wild horses in Corolla, Dolphin watch, or take the ferry for a ride to Ocracoke Island. If it rains, check out the Aquarium, laser tag, bowling, the movies, or pull out those family board games.
Guest access
You will have full access to the home both inside and out with exception to the owners closet in the upstairs bedroom and the outdoor storage room. Appreciate the enormous backyard to play some of your favorite yard games such as giant Jenga and cornhole!

Kitty Hawk rental property booking tips:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Kitty Hawk area. To get the largest rental for your budget, we recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.
