Our top Kill Devil Hills vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• June, July, and August are high season in Kill Devil Hills. To find the best rental home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Kill Devil Hills attractions.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Kill Devil Hills visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guides contain deals for local shops and restaurants.

How to choose the best vacation home in the Kill Devil Hills area:

• Begin by choosing the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Great home for Family Vacation has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the host before booking the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Kill Devil Hills destination you are enamored with, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

More tips for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
