Rental property booking tips and tricks:

Getting the best value:

• Booking your Kill Devil Hills vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Kill Devil Hills visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides contain discounts for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking your prefectrental home:

• Start by selecting your trip dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration you need. Sandcastle Sanctuary 4 Bedroom w\/ Private Pool! has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what is suitable for your vacation family.
• If there's a specific Kill Devil Hills beach you are enamored with, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or charges could be applied to your invoice.

During your stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• To make sure damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, record any problem areas during check in. Call the property manager right away to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a fantastic time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was terrific, 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 feedback.
