This magical spot offers a private courtyard garden, multiple spots for calming, a mermaid fountain, a dreamy outdoor shower, all within walking distance to the heart of Duck's 5-star eateries and shopping! The beach is 3 homes away and sunsets over the sound are within walking distance.
Ideal for solo getaway, couples get away or for introverts that don't want to stay in the bigger homes with 60 family members! This is an ideal spot to start that book or finish that painting! It lends itself to being at tranquility and letting worldly cares drift out to sea...
Having coffee to the sound of the ocean and being able to see the sun rise and set all on the same street is definitely unbelievable. If one books during a full moon cycle, the moonrise out of the sea is phenomenal. Stargazing is at its best in Duck as the town has a light ordinance, so don't miss the star action on your walk back from one of the many outdoor music venues along Duck Rd.
This is a downstairs 1 room studio, open space, so no steps, yay, however you may hear footsteps, but we are very respectful of our guests!
There are a few community cats (2) that wander through the Garden, and hummingbirds throughout during the Summer.
This cool spot is surrounded by nature, with Gardens and live oak trees, there are native pollinators, birds and interesting insects, so nature nuts will really savor this area, please be advised that it is a natural habitat, and the outer banks has bugs and insects...
The only issue we've ever had is people never want to leave!!!
*(please note that, over the winter, 3 offshore hurricanes destroyed most beach access steps. Ours are being rebuilt in March. There is access roughly 1 block south).

Our top Vacation rental booking tips:

Find your perfect rental home:

• Summer time is high season in the Kitty Hawk area. Booking in Spring or Fall is a great way to save on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kitty Hawk area visitors guides that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Kitty Hawk visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Filter your search:

• Begin by selecting the best vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Secret garden retreat 3 minutes from beach! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before booking your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a specific Kitty Hawk beach you are crazy about, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or could be applied to your agreement.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your family's visit, record any problem areas during arrival. Call the rental manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
