How to get the best Kill Devil Hills rental experience:

Get the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your Kill Devil Hills vacation rental in Fall or Spring is a good way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Kill Devil Hills area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guides contain offers and deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking your prefect Kill Devil Hills rental:

• Start by having your group agree to vacation dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family needs. 5531 The Bird House * Waterfront has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If not, call the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what is best for your vacation.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the owner about pets before booking.
• If there's a particular Kill Devil Hills destination you crave, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of problems.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the host right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great feedback to stimulate future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation rental. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
