Other details to note

The minimum age to rent is 25. ABSOLUTELY no events or overnight outside guests will be allowed. You will be asked to leave immediately and will not receive a refund of any kind.

Please do not park in the yard or on the street. Parking is only allowed in the driveway.

This is a dog friendly rental. While we and our cleaners are as thorough as possible, If you have pet allergies this listing may not be suitable for you.

Dogs only - max. of 2 dogs allowed. Please let us know in advance if you plan to bring your dog and add them to your guest count in order for the pet fee to be charged. Dogs must be home-trained, friendly (in case we need to access the home), up to date on flea meds and shots, and well-socialized. Dogs are not to be left alone unattended in the yard (ever) or in the home uncrated for extended periods of time. Be sure to pick up after your dog in all areas and keep your dog off the furnishings. If you have a "shedding" type breed, clean-up also means hair within reason. Failure to do so or any damage from your dog will result in an additional fee.

Please note that this is a vacation rental and not a hotel. (We appreciate and savor our guests and really mean that in the absolute nicest way!) You will need to roll trash carts out for trash pickup, do your dishes, etc., and basically leave the home reasonably as you found it.

If you use the grille please clean it before departure for the next guests. Our cleaners do not clean grilles. If you use the last of the propane in one of the tanks, please let us know or replace it.

If you break something please replace it or let us know ahead of time so that we can be proactive for the next guests. We know accidents happen - just help us out!

We provide one set of bath towels per expected guest. We do not provide beach or pool towels.

We provide the first roll of toilet paper per bathroom and one roll of paper towels. Additional needs are the guests' responsibility.

We are your neighbors and live just a couple of miles away. We are super laid back but expect that you will respect our space and the rules.

You will be asked to sign a simple rental agreement and provide a copy of government issued ID as a condition of booking.

Tips to get the perfect rental experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• Summertime is high season in the Kill Devil Hills area. To get the most suitable rental home within budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at Kill Devil Hills restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many property management companies supply Kill Devil Hills area visitors guides which include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through 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.

Planning, selecting, and booking the rightrental:

• First, have your family select vacation dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. New! West Side Near Nags Head Woods ~ Private Pool~ Fenced Yard - Dog Friendly has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available online. If not, contact the property manager before you reserve the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• During arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific time? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
