Our guests adore the "Great Room" with its vaulted ceilings that connects to the kitchen and front porch though french doors. On the right day and at the right times, with the windows open, you can feel the exhilarating sea breeze pass though the home. Here you will also savor the "BigAss" Brand Haiku Fan in the living room that seems to have a hypnotic like effect particularly as the lazy summers evenings drift into nighttime. The master bedroom with its spa-like private bathroom is our favorite room to stay when visiting, inside you can refresh and escape for a while with the additional huge 16" rain shower head and hand held wand.

There is an enclosure space is located on ground level, it has a separate entrance and is not as upgraded like the upper level main living area. It was not designed as living space or sleeping and is primarily used as storage.

Our top Kill Devil Hills rental booking tips and tricks:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your rental property in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Many rental management companies supply Kill Devil Hills area visitor guide magazines which include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to pick the perfect rental:

• To start, have your family decide on date ranges and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Magical Bungalow OBX: Steps to Beach, Walk to Avalon Pier has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available online. If not, call the property manager before you book the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Kill Devil Hills attraction you love, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental

More tips for your visit:

• Get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• At Check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
