Tips for getting the best Kill Devil Hills vacation rental experience:

When to book a Kill Devil Hills rental home & When to go:

• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To get the best value, try shifting your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Kill Devil Hills area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. 5217 Eighth Street Retreat * 3 Min Walk to Beach has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Kill Devil Hills rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property manager before you book the home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a particular Kill Devil Hills beach you are crazy about, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges may be applied to your contract.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your stay, note any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the host immediately to report any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
