Downstairs "Storage Room"-
The space is located on ground level, has a separate entrance and is not as upgraded like the upper level main living area. It was not designed as living space, is primarily used as storage and sleeping is not recommended.

Please note: While renovated, this is an older original beach home. As a piece of OBX history, that's OK though as it all adds to the charm and soul of the Magical Bungalow.

We are passionate about coastal living and enjoy the opportunity to share our beach homes we love so much with our guests.

Housekeeping Notes:
To us, a very clean bungalow is of the utmost importance for our guests upon arrival. In fact, our bungalows have very high cleanliness standards and a thorough cleaning + inspection process. Between each guest stay our beach bungalows are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized with EPA approved disinfectants on surfaces and common touch points.

Our cleaning process continues to evolve by implementing recommended CDC guidelines. Further, we take additional steps and train cleaners in any new cleaning standards through our “Sparkling Clean” training program.

Pet Friendly Guidelines:
•$25 per night for one dog (one dog maximum only)
• Some breeds may not be permitted due to insurance requirements

We love dogs and are happy to have your four legged family members at our bungalows. Just let us know you are bringing your dog and the breed.

Guest access
Guests have access to the entire home and property. For those, that enjoy clean laundry, like us, we have a quality washer + dryer set up in the downstairs storage area.

Other things to note
Check Out Etiquette: We put a lot of time and effort to deliver great stays for our guests. If deliberate damage, disrespect or lack of cleanliness is identified during the check out inspection, the guest of record will be charged fees to compensate our cleaners and ensure the property is ready for incoming guests.


Local Area Info:
We also love sharing our favorite local places to eat and things to do. We created a guide that our guests have found helpful in planning their OBX adventure and are happy to share any specific food/activity recommendations our guests are looking for. After reserving, just ask!
