Duck Road Central Location????Dog Friendly????Parking &Tennis Pass?Walk to the Beach - Vacation rental home in Kitty Hawk, NC

Henry's Castle is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath "beach box" type bungalow centrally located on Duck Rd. in the community of Southern Shores. Close to everything in Duck and Kitty Hawk, but with a "tucked away" feel on a enormous wooded lot. Freshly decorated and furnished, with a Boho style retro feel, tile floors, wrap-around deck with screened in porch and picnic table, and a crows nest.

The home is an roughly 1/3 mile walk to the nearest beach access. Beach accesses in the community of Southern Shores are only for residents and guests and most do not provide parking of any kind, so our walkable accesses and the beaches are remarkably uncrowded even in the peak of summer.

If you would like to drive to an access, we provide a parking pass for the Southern Shores Civic Association beach access at Hillcrest Drive. The site has 2 showers, toilets, a gazebo, benches, and a viewing platform. The beach and viewing platform are wheelchair accessible. A volleyball court has been constructed at this site, as well. We are members of the Tennis Club, so a pass for the courts on Hillcrest Drive is also supplied.

The bungalow has an open concept living room and (completely supplied) kitchen/dining area area, with tile floors throughout the home, and a wraparound deck with a gas grille, screened porch with a picnic table for outdoor dining.

The master bedroom features a queen size bed and en-suite bathroom.
The second bedroom features a queen size bed.
The third bedroom features a single over double bunkbed set.
All bedrooms have memory foam beds, high quality cotton sheets, and Roku streaming TVs.


On the ground level the workshop/storage room has been converted into a game room (not attached from the inside) to a "Game Room" with a full-size refrigerator, intelligent TV, foosball, ping pong, and darts. Under the home, we provide a hammock, cornhole, and ladder ball games for outside. For cooler nights there is a fire pit oustide in the "backyard" area.

*Please note - our "yard" is intentionally left with the Outer Banks' natural, slightly rugged, indigenous landscape. It is not manicured or necessarily suited for kids or dogs to use or play in. (We don't mind if you savor the space, but it is "as is".) Also, the game room is a converted storage area not connected to central air and heat, but we have a portable a/c unit in the room that you can use in warmer months for climate control.

The bungalow is located just 2 miles from the Village of Duck with its wide selection of walkable eateries and shopping options and 4 miles from the Harris Teeter and Food Lion grocery stores and Wal-Mart shopping center.

We also provide a beach cart and some limited beach gear for your use.

We supply the first roll of toilet paper and paper towels, but guests are responsible for needs after that.

Propane for the gas grille is on a "pay it forward" system - if you use the last of the tank, please exchange it at a local grocery store, Walmart, 7-11, or Ace Hardware. Also, please clean the grille for the next guest before you checkout.

Beach gear - if you use it, please rinse it and put it back as you found it before you check-out. If you break something, please replace it with something equivalent.

Loss of Tennis Club or Parking Passes will result in a $100 fee for replacement.
