The Magical Bungalow OBX is an original OBX 'Beach Box' style home, that was re-imagined and renovated 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 perfect, but always looking to improve.

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-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
