Tricks and tips to get the best vacation rental experience:

Finding the best value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To book the largest rental within your budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 friends and family at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many rental management companies supply Kill Devil Hills area travel guide magazines which will include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Finding the perfect rental:

• Select your vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Gorgeous pet-friendly soundfront home w/ private pool & amazing sunset views! has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If they are not listed, call the host before booking your home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Advice for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas during check in. Call the property manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of problems.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Upon check-out, take a walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on great feedback to propel new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
