We want to give you a preview of our beach home located just north of Duck, North Carolina. We're excited that you're thinking about renting the place, and we hope you'll have a great visit to the Outer Banks!

Our cute little place is soundfront. There's a bench swing in the tree behind the home where you can swing by the water's edge, and there is a set of stairs that lead from the back yard down into the water. The beach is a short walk away on the other side of the island - it's a 5 min. walk. There's a wide, paved bicycle path that passes in front of our place and leads into the little town of Duck, about two miles away.

The home has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms connected by a jack-and-jill bathroom. One of the bedrooms has two twin beds, and the other bedroom has a queen size bed and a sitting area with a TV and dvd player. There is also a balcony that is only accessible from the sizable upstairs bedroom. There is also a master bedroom on the main level.

On the main level, there is a great room. There is a dining table that seats six, and there is an island with seating for two between the kitchen and the dining area. In the living area, there is a appreciate seat, a couch, and a chair in addition to a T.V. and dvd player. There is also a non-working fireplace for ambiance in cooler months. There is also a master bedroom and bathroom on the main level.

There are three sliding glass doors that lead out from the great room onto the deck that wraps around two sides of the home. The deck faces the Currituck Sound, so you can see the sun set over the water each evening. There is also an additional extension to the deck that holds a hot tub.

A door leads from the kitchen out to a screened in porch where you can appreciate outdoor dining, and the porch exits to the deck. Under the home, there is a laundry room and an enclosed outdoor shower. There is also space to park under the home if you want.

The kitchen is completely outfitted with nearly any dish or cooking equipment you might need. We leave some things in the refrigerator and freezer empty, such as condiments. You'll find that there is a cabinet with some oil and spices, and there may be another shelf with pantry items that we leave at the home. You are welcome to use anything you find in the refrigerator or cabinets; we'll just ask that you replace anything that you use up. This is atypical with beach home units, but this way you don't have to remember to bring your own salt shaker, and we don't have to clean out every speck of evidence that we spend time here, too.

We also have an additional closet with a lock on in the master bedroom on the main floor where we our clothes and toys for our visits. Nothing interesting really, just our personal stuff. We have numerous board games and puzzles that are available for you to use, and you're welcome to use any of the beach toys and chairs in the storage room. There are two kayaks and a surfboard on the rack under the deck; you are welcome to use those. Please don't attempt to use the sailboats unless you are an experienced sailor and have checked with us ahead of time about using them.

One of the best things about the location of our home is experiencing sunset over the Currituck Sound! We hope you have a great vacation!

Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Kitty Hawk area. To get the best vacation home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Kitty Hawk restaurants and activities.
• Some owners offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Kitty Hawk visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Spring is great at the beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the host before booking the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

Some things to know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your stay, inspect for any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the rental manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
