Getting the best vacation rental experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the largest vacation home within budget, we suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Kill Devil Hills restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area visitors guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and choosing your prefect Kill Devil Hills rental:

• Choose vacation dates and budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Private Pool??????? Hot Tub? Walk or Bike to Beach????Soundview, Privacy Fence has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the property owner before you book the home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or costs applied to your agreement.
• If there's a certain Kill Devil Hills destination you simply love, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

During your stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would at home.
• At Check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to inspire future bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
