Welcome to Live Swell Beach Bungalows. Here our guests refresh from reality while enjoying elements of coastal living and the laid-back surf lifestyle.

We are passionate about the beach, coastal living and the opportunity to share the lifestyle we love so much with our guests.
Our "Salt Box" style beach bungalow was built in 1982, is 950 square feet and features a loft. It sits on a private cut of property in a safe cul de sac with mostly year round residents.
The space is ideal for:
• Couples
• Small active families or groups of friends
• 5 people comfortably, 6 people if ya'll get along well
Since we have had the Bungalow we have completed a lot of upgrades to the home that many of our guests love. The large outdoor shower with an oversized rain-shower head is highly refreshing on hot summer days and feels amazing after the beach. On the right days and at the right times, the french doors open up completely to the front deck which adds an airy flow and the feel of and indoor-outdoor living space. The kitchen was themed with a distressed nautical look, open cabinets and contains most of the necessities for a chef. Our favorite hang out area is the great room, which has an open set up, vaulted ceilings and a "BigAss" Brand Haiku Fan, which, feels hypnotic like the soft drone of a helicopter propeller.
To us, a very clean bungalow is of the utmost importance for our guests upon arrival. In fact, our bungalows have always had very high cleanliness standards and though cleaning + inspection process. Recently, we have taken our cleaning process to the next level by implementing recommended CDC guidelines. Between each guest stay our beach bungalows are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized with EPA approved disinfectants on surfaces and common touch points.

Interaction with guests
We are friendly and may say hello during your stay yet we do respect our guests’ privacy.
We also love sharing our favorite local places to eat and things to do. We even created a guide that our guests have found helpful in planning their OBX adventure, after booking, just ask!
Other things to note
***We do kindly ask that all potential guests read the entire description before requesting to book***
We love our OBX bungalow, it's a great house yet, like most homes it is not perfect and not for everyone. We respect that folks have different preferences and world views. If your looking for a unique place and local experience in a great beach town to relax, spend time with loved ones, chill out, cook and rest your head after the beach then the bungalow checks all the boxes. If you're seeking a perfect, flawless home or are super high maintenance, this is not the place for you.
Bringing your dog?
We love dogs and are happy to have your four legged friends and family members at our bungalows. Just let us know you are bringing your dog and the pet fee is:
• $25 per night per dog (Please ask if you have more than one dog)
Book today to ensure your reservation, before another guest does! :)
Check Out Etiquette: We put a lot of time and effort to deliver great stays for our guests. If we find deliberate damage, disrespect or lack of cleanliness during the check out inspection, you will be charged fee's to compensate our cleaners and ensure the property is ready for guests.
