Guest Favorites:
From starting the day rocking on the front porch with a piping hot morning coffee or chilling out and grilling at the bungalow, here’s what our guests say they loved:
•Front Porch – morning coffee and evening sunsets!
•Rocking chair, hammocks for everyone on the front porch!
•The Outdoor Shower
•Grilling and a well-supplied kitchen
•Dog Friendly (See Guidelines Below)
•A family friendly and safe neighborhood
•The location! – hear the roar of the ocean, walking distance to the beach (Please keep in mind, the house is located on a direct beach access with parking. Busier times of year it can get full. Most love the lively vibe of being on a beach access in the summer months, others may not.)
Our guests love the "Great Room" with its vaulted ceilings that connects to the kitchen and front porch though french doors. On the right day and at the right times, with the windows open, you can feel the refreshing sea breeze pass though the home. Here you will also enjoy the "BigAss" Brand Haiku Fan in the living room that seems to have a hypnotic like effect particularly as the lazy summers evenings drift into night. The master bedroom with its spa-like private bathroom is our favorite room to stay when visiting, inside you can refresh and escape for a while with the extra large 16" rain shower head and hand held wand.
There is an enclosure space is located on ground level, it has a separate entrance and is not as upgraded like the upper level main living area. It was not designed as living space or sleeping and is primarily used as storage.

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!
Everything was great and the beach was so close.
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!
Great stay!
Outstanding!!! This was such a wonderful place, that I fell in love with!! The best part was waking up and walking down to see the sunrise on the beach! Thank you Mike! We will be back!
The Magic Bungalow was the perfect beach house for family--which includes two younger teens and our adult daughter who came with her boyfriend. The remodel of the older house is really charming and it is obvious that the owners have dedicated a lot of thought into making the house a welcome place for guests. And, two balconies! We sat on the front balcony the most, as did our dogs. It was just beautiful. The layout of the house worked very well for our family, as the basement bedroom gave our adult daughter and her boyfriend a private, separate space, with their own bathroom and entrance (the laundry access is in this area as well). If our daughter and her boyfriend hadn't cared for the basement bedroom, we would have had our teens share the bedroom with the bunk bed. It turns out that they really liked that basement room--so that is where they stayed the entire time. The house is a very short walk to the beach and it is within walking distance to several restaurants and some shops. This was our first family vacation in a couple of years and we couldn't be happier--we just wish we could have stayed another week. Thank you Magic Bunaglow!
So cute! They thought of absolutely everything we could have needed/wanted! Bikes, boards, hammocks, and a book of to-dos. The space was more than enough for my friend and I celebrating graduation in the OBX. Hope to be back again soon!
We had a fabulous time at the Bungalow!! Beach is just steps away, live music and great food also super close. The bungalow itself was perfect for our needs. We spent SOO much time on the porch just relaxing!! Michael & Maria were wonderful and super responsive, providing all kinda of wonderful recommendations (go to TRIO!!) and allowing us to check-in early, knowing we had driven down through the night. We absolutely loved it, would stay again!!
This was a wonderful property to stay at! It was immaculately clean when we arrived and had all the amenities we could need (pots/pans, toiletries, towels, sheets, etc.) It was a 2 minute walk to the beach and was on a quiet street with a porch we sat out on often. The property owners went out of our way to make sure we had a great stay and made the whole trip a true joy. It was driving distance to great shops and restaurants, mini golf, and the Wright Brothers memorial. I would book this bungalow again in a heart beat and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet trip to Kill Devil Hills.
We had an amazing stay at the Magical Bungalow! Michael and Maria were great hosts. They were always very responsive and would check in to make sure we had everything we needed. The house was very clean upon arrival which is extremely important to us especially now. The location to the beach was super convenient and we had so much fun just relaxing on the front deck. Our kids are already asking when we will go back!
