    We believe a very clean & functional home is of the utmost importance for our guests upon arrival. Between each guest stay our beach homes are thoroughly cleaned, sanitized & inspected.

    All of our in-house housekeepers are trained in our proprietary ‘Sparkling Clean’ cleaning process and as of 2025 almost every beach house contains at least one floor-cleaning Robot on-site. Our staff also includes a full-time licensed Builder, so if an unlikely maintenance issue does occur, you can feel confident it will be fixed fast!

    As further commitment to delivering an exceptional stay a ‘Quality Assurance Inspection’ occurs prior to arrival.

    Pet Friendly Guidelines:
    We are pet friendly to responsible pet owners with dogs who are good travelers. Pet fee is $50 to bring one dog. If interested in bringing more than one dog, just ask! We have hosted more than one dog in the past so it may be possible.

    Please note:
    • Pet fee does not include excessive pet hair removal, stain removal on fabrics or droppings pick-up

Lovely Bungalow

Our family so enjoyed the Magical Bungalow. The upstairs renovations are just beautiful, and the house is so comfortable and conducive to wonderful hang out time, while also being in really close proximity to the beach and many fun restaurants. We had a great vacation!

Perfect quiet getaway

My fiancé, 14lb Border Terrier and I stayed for a week and it was the perfect vacation. The food recommendations were amazing (thank you!) and we adored the coffee shop. We went every morning. The house is beautiful, clean and very cozy. My favorite part of the day was chilling on the hammock. We rented this adorable place the end of April and look forward doing it again next year!

Amazing beach access

The super short walk to the beach is what made this property ideal. Room for a family of 4 to spread out enough that we didn’t get on each others’ nerves. Hammock was a huge plus. Nice to have a boogie board to us, didn’t need the bikes. Ice maker in the fridge with frosted mugs, a nice touch!

Beach Beauty

The house was very clean and well-maintained. The owners were easily accessible and contacted us to make sure everything was going well. The beach was an even shorter distance to walk than we, originally, thought. Great surprise! It was very relaxing place to hang out and be connected to the area/beach at the same time. Wonderful place to vacation at!

Perfect location !!

The home was inviting & very comfortable. My arrival was delayed and i notified my host it would be after midnight. I was very pleasantly surprised to find they had turned all the lights on for me. It was an incredible trip. I set my alarm every morning and walked up to the beach and witnessed some of the most beautiful sunrises I have EVER been fortunate to see And seashells.... GALORE on this part of the beach. I highly recommend and I will hopefully be back again next year!!

Fine but not as upscale as I expected

The location is close to the beach, and the place is overall fine. The owners were kind and prompt in our correspondence. For the price, I had expected a higher-quality experience. There were ants coming in the kitchen window (multiple ants every day all day), and we were given bug spray to address the problem. The primary bedroom had cheap flooring. The "bonus" room was so musty that even after a week outside, the beach chairs still smelled. Even clothes washed in the laundry room held the musty smell. Generally, fine, but I had thought Vrbo was a bit more upscale.

Great House in Ideal KDH Location

This bungalow was a great place for my family who was coming from DC, MD, and NC to get together for a long weekend. The space was clean and well-equipped for our beachgoing needs for a long weekend. We found the walk to the beach super easy (even with a little one in tow!) and appreciated the house's many amenities, like the outdoor shower, beach cart, and front porch rocking chairs. We'd definitely recommend this bungalow to friends and family looking for an OBX vacation!

Perfect spot to enjoy OBX

This place worked perfect for me and my friends. The house had everything we needed and was in a very convenient location. We could see the beach from the front porch and the walk was less than a half block. The pier and Awful Arthurs were also within walking distance. We will definitely see if this place is available the next time we return. The owners communicated very well with us

Wonderful, relaxing, clean place to stay

My family and i loved staying here! a short walk to the beach, lots of restaurant options, clean, everything was in order and the owners and manager were pleasant to deal with. While sipping a cocktail on the upper patio, the manager drove up and greeted me warmly. She asked if everything was OK and if i needed anything. All was great, I told her. Great personal touch. It was a wonderful vacation.

Perfect OBX spot for families!

The Magic Bungalow was perfect for our family of six. Well decorated, very clean and beach vibes abound. Centrally located, so close to beach, we felt safe letting our kids walk to beach. Owners provided beach cart, boogie boards, surfboard, beach toys and even extra beach chairs. This was a huge time, space and money saver as we didn't have to buy all the gear! Communication was excellent and Michael even helped set up private surfing lessons with a local surf coach. since Michael was already booked (he does lessons too :-)). Highly recommended for any family who wants an amazing location and all they need for a memorable OBX stay!
