Our top Kill Devil Hills vacation rental booking tips:

When to visit & When to reserve a Kill Devil Hills rental home:

• The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Summer is high season in the Kill Devil Hills area. To find the best value, consider changing your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area visitor guide magazines which include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to select the best rental in the Kill Devil Hills area:

• Choose vacation dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Renovated & Clean 'Original' OBX Bungalow, Direct Beach & Pier Access + EZ Cart has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before you book your home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or costs could be applied to your contract.
• If there's a certain Kill Devil Hills beach you are enamored with, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• During arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
