The Magical Bungalow OBX is an original OBX 'Beach Box' style home, that was re-imagined and modernized by Live Swell Custom Homes.
Our purpose is to create fresh & clean beach homes families dream about!
Over years of listening to guests we have created a familiar, clean & consistent vacation rental home experience. We are not ideal, but always looking to improve.

Please note: While refreshed, this is an older original beach home, originally constructed in 1969. As a piece of OBX history, that's OK though as it all adds to the appeal and soul of the Magical Bungalow.
We are passionate about coastal living and appreciate the opportunity to share our beach homes we adore so much with our guests.

Housekeeping, Maintenance, Inspection & Cleaning Notes:
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-home housekeepers are trained in our proprietary ‘Sparkling Clean’ cleaning process and as of 2025 nearly every beach home 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
