Tips for getting the best rental home experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• The earlier you can book, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Book your rental property in Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Kill Devil Hills area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Filter your search:

• Select a group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Sea Life Cottage - True Oceanfront Home with Ocean Views has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your . We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on great feedback to compel new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
