Strategies to get the perfect Kill Devil Hills vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Booking your vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area visitors guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose vacation dates and budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. 5531 The Bird House * Waterfront has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property manager before reserving your home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Kill Devil Hills destination you crave, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
