Finding the best vacation property experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• Summertime is high season in the Kill Devil Hills area. To book the best vacation home for your budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• In the Kill Devil Hills area, The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many rental management companies supply Kill Devil Hills area visitor guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select dates and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Mint Julep*Elevator*2Ensuites*Pool*Foosball*PacMan has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often accessible online. If they are not listed, email the host before reserving your home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what is right for your vacation group.
• If there's an individual Kill Devil Hills destination you are crazy about, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.

During your stay:

• Add the host's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the host right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent resource to find the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from 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.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
