Tips and Tricks to get the best Kill Devil Hills vacation property experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Summer time is high season in the Kill Devil Hills area. Reserve your Kill Devil Hills vacation home in the Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have money saving offers on local shops and restaurants.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Begin by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Relax & Unwind! Cozy Fireplace - Keurig - Bring Dogs, Sm Boat, Surfboard has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available online. If not, email the property owner before you book your home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for your stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Upon arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great ratings to compel more bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
