A storage area downstairs keeps your own beach gear protected from the weather.

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.

Tricks and tips to get the optimal vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Booking your Kill Devil Hills vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. 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 rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Kill Devil Hills visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have discounts for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to select the perfect rental home in Kill Devil Hills:

• Select your vacation week and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. 5036 Sounds Great * 2 Min Walk to Albemarle Sound has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Kill Devil Hills rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If they are not listed, contact the host before booking your home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's an individual Kill Devil Hills beach you simply love, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some properties allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Make a record of any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to propel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
