Vacation rental tips and tricks:

Find your perfect rental:

• Summer months are high season in the Kill Devil Hills area. Booking your vacation rental in Spring or Fall is a great way to save on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Many rental management companies supply Kill Devil Hills area travel guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Start by selecting your vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your group needs. ~~ BEAUTIFUL WATERFRONT HOME FEATURES PRIVATE DOCK & USE OF TWO TANDEM KAYAKS ~~ has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking websites. If not, email the property owner before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what is best for your vacation family.
• Are you visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Add the host's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Record any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few issues.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific source for finding the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to inspire new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
