With modern amenities and a convenient location near public sound accesses, you'll find that adapting to the peaceful island life will be an painless transition.

Downstairs, a driveway and covered carport offer plenty of parking. An outdoor shower is available for rinsing off all that sand from the beach and is next to a fish cleaning table making it simple to wash off your catch of the day for cooking up later! A storage area downstairs keeps your own beach gear protected from the weather. Gather around in beachy wicker furnishings and savor your favorite movie on the outdoor projector with overhead string lighting.

Upstairs, a huge great room with plenty of natural light, vaulted ceilings and beachy décor welcomes you into your week of relaxation. Savor the comfortable living area located around a sizable Flat-Screen TV with cozy furnishings. The modern kitchen was designed with tiled floors, maple cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances for chefs of all skill levels to whip up their favorite seafood masterpiece! The kitchen island offers bar seating for 2 and the adjoining dining area seats 6, doubling as the ideal spot for pulling out your favorite board game for a little family-friendly competition.

A convenient laundry area is available with plenty of storage space for detergent and other supplies. Work on your tan as you lounge on the sun deck while reading your favorite book, or simply step outside under the covered porch to relax and appreciate the coastal sound breeze.

Convenient Location for Soundside Exploration
Sounds Great makes it easy for you to discover Kill Devil Hills thanks to its prime location. Within easy walking distance, the Hayman Pier & Gazebo sound access is the ideal place to watch evening sunsets over the sound. A boat ramp access is also located close by for visitors who want to take to the water for a day of sailing, fishing or crabbing. Use your VayK Gear credit to rent bicycles and take a ride along the public walkway on Bay Drive which will take you all the way to the Wright Brothers National Memorial where you can learn about the role played by the Outer Banks in our country's aviation history! To sample some great local products, swing by Outer Banks Olive Oil Co. and Chip's Wine and Beer Market right off the bypass. While you're there, stop in Front Porch Café to pick up a delicious baked good and fresh cup of gourmet coffee. OBX Art Studio offers a paint-your-own pottery experience that is fun for the whole family! You can also try reeling in the big one off the historic 700-ft long Avalon Fishing Pier or grab lunch at the pier restaurant.

Our top Rental home tips:

Finding your best deal:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Kill Devil Hills. Booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is an excellent way to save on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Kill Devil Hills visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines contain offers and deals for local tours and attractions.

How to choose and book the perfectrental:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. 5036 Sounds Great * 2 Min Walk to Albemarle Sound has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available online. If not, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is best for your family.
• If there's an individual Kill Devil Hills attraction you simply love, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge additional pet fees.

During your stay:

• Add the owner's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• During check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of issues.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to propel new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
