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 T.V. and dvd player. There is also a balcony that is only accessible from the huge 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 adore seat, a couch, and a chair in addition to a TV 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 savor 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 entirely 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!

Tricks and tips to get the very best vacation rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• To get the best value, consider shifting your family's Kitty Hawk trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Kitty Hawk area visitor guide magazines that include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Kitty Hawk visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and picking your prefectrental home:

• Start by choosing trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Spring is great at the beach! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the host before you book your home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a particular Kitty Hawk attraction you crave, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Have a great stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your family's stay, record any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the host right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible resource to find the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out 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.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent feedback to stimulate future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
