Tricks and tips to get the optimal Kill Devil Hills vacation rental experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Summer time is high season in the Kill Devil Hills area. To get the best value, change your family's Kill Devil Hills vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for 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 information, travel guides contain money saving offers on local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Planning and choosing the perfectrental home:

• To start, have your group agree to date ranges and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family needs. 5064 McBride's Shore Thing * 2 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 descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before you book the home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• At Check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Re-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• 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! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to stimulate new reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
