Let the warm of the sun through the windows wash over you as you watch your favorite shows or plan another day of appealing, Outer Banks adventures that the whole family will appreciate.

Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Kill Devil Hills vacation rental experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• In the Kill Devil Hills area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Kill Devil Hills area. Reserve your Kill Devil Hills rental in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, management companies supply Kill Devil Hills area travel guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered independently 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 and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your rental search:

• Start by having your family choose vacation dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. 5045 Laughing Gulls * 6 Min Walk to Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Kill Devil Hills vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking pages. If not, contact the property owner before you book the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is right for your group.
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Advice for your stay:

• Put the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
• During check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your life at home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a great stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
