3 Br Private Vacation Home Vacation Rental In Kitty Hawk, North Carolina

This quaint and cozy 1960s beachfront cottage has been lovingly updated with most modern conveniences while maintaining the serene cottage vibe for your enjoyment. As soon as you walk up to the front door and unlock the smart lock with your personal code, you enter into "Serenity" and see the beautiful Atlantic beckoning you. Classic board and batten walls and refinished original tongue and groove Southern pine floors fill the cottage with a nod toward a more simple and laid back time. Just perfect to enjoy your beach and ocean get-away. The sand and waves are only a few steps from the covered and gated porch.

Serenity Seaside is located at approximately milepost 2.5 on the beach road. The cottage is close to numerous restaurants, shopping and family fun activities, many within walking/biking distance. This location is also great for a couples only retreat, girls or guys get-away to spend time on the beach, shop, golf or fish.

Serenity Seaside will perfectly accommodate up to seven in three bedrooms. Two queen bedrooms includes one ocean-front and one semi-oceanfront, also with great ocean views. Each of these rooms also has ceiling fans. The third bedroom has a pyramid bunk bed, that can sleep up to three with an oscillating floor fan. All bedrooms are appointed with smart TVs. Sail off to sleep on premium mattresses and pillows, while listening to the surf.

Whip up your favorite meal or catch of the day with GE appliances and gorgeous Maui Quartz countertops and granite sink in the well-equipped kitchen. You won't miss a minute of the waves, during meal prep and clean up, as the kitchen has beautiful views of the beach.

Enjoy your morning coffee on the covered porch overlooking the Atlantic. Take a leisurely stroll on the beach to watch the sun rise, pelicans fly overhead and dolphin and fish play in the waves. Relax and rejuvenate at Serenity Seaside.

Relish your time off the beach in the comfortably furnished open living room with cozy slip covered furniture, large flat screen TV, bar area, board games and books. Keep cool with central air and ceiling and floor fans in all bedrooms. Enjoy your meals at a rustic whitewashed pine dining table overlooking the Atlantic or at the picnic table on the back porch. You just can't get closer to the sights, sounds and salty air of the beach than at Serenity Seaside Cottage.

Don't let one-bathroom home dissuade you from this cozy cottage. Enjoy the completely renovated bathroom, which includes a ship-lap shower while gazing at the waves roll in or enjoy the outside private shower with hot and cold water with sounds of the surf just over the dune line.

Conclude your day with a cocktail and stroll outside to the front gated deck to watch the magnificent colors of the OBX sunsets. Let your gaze drift to the night sky to see twinkling stars and planets overhead. A walk on the night beach beckons where ghost crabbing is always a favorite with the kids!

For the snorkeling aficionados, check out the British Steamer Mountaineer Wreck also known as the Wink's Wreck. It was stranded December 25th, 1852 and is located 100 yards offshore and approximately 100 yards South of the cottage. It's estimated at a depth of 10 to 30 feet. It's a local favorite and our son loves to dive "snorkel" the wreck! Google for Wink's Wreck or Kitty Hawk Mountaineer Steamer Wreck for more info.

Serenity Seaside is located within walking distance to Ocean Boulevard Bistro & Martini Bar (Wedding Wire 2019 Couples' Choice Award Winner) serving a delicious nightly menu, including vegetarian options and stop by their wonderful Martini Bar.

Things To Do:
If you want to explore all that the OBX has to offer, Serenity Seaside, located in Kitty Hawk, is just a short drive to Duck, Kill Devil Hills, and Nags Head. You'll find many local restaurants, shops with that perfect souvenir, as well as, putt-putt golf and the always fun H2OBX Water Park. And what would summer be without ice cream....John's Drive-in is another OBX staple, just a short bike ride down the road from the cottage. Owned and operated by the same OBX family, it is in its 46th year, and has an awesome menu and free "puppy" cups if you bring Fido!

The beach, that wonderful merging of ocean and sand that seems so perfect will always be the draw, but there is another side to this strip of sand, another world of beauty and wonder waiting for the slightly adventurous. Don't forget to explore the four protected maritime forests located sound-side. Although they seem to be a world apart from the seashore, they are heavily forested but with easy trails, and they call out to be explored. A photographer's delight.

Take a short drive to Kill Devil Hills (about 5 miles from the cottage) and explore the Wright Brothers National Memorial. Wind, sand, and a dream of flight brought Wilbur and Orville Wright to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina where, after four years of scientific experimentation, they achieved the first successful airplane flights on December 17, 1903 and taught the world to fly!

In Nags Head, about 10 miles from the cottage, you'll find the tallest living sand dune on the Atlantic coast and is a premier location for kites, sightseeing and sunsets, with a view arcing from the ocean to Roanoke Sound. A visitor center with museum and 360-foot boardwalk with exhibits explain the dune’s ecology and are a gradual entry to the massive dune field. Sandboarding is welcome with permit and hang-gliding is available through a vendor. Shoes and sun protection are recommended.

A binder in the cottage will provide additional information on things to do.
