How to book the best rental experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• In the Kill Devil Hills area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area travel guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Select your vacation week and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. 5041 The Captains Quarters *1 Block to Boat Access has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If not, contact the host before you reserve your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what configuration is right for your vacation.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

• Upon check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.

• Did you have a great vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
