***Special Mention*** This home is directly on the sound! While it is definitely pretty, there are some things to note. When you live here, or are familiar to the Outer Banks, then you realize you HAVE to contend with bugs. Specifically Midgies, palmetto bugs and water spiders, ESPECIALLY when there is wind from the west! Midgies LOVE the light, and when you have the lights on outside at nighttime, or open the doors, they will FLOCK inside.
We ask that you please keep the doors and windows closed and outdoor lights off as much as possible, to help with this issue. We do have a quarterly contract with pest control for other pests, however, Midgies and mosquitos won't be affected by this.
You MUST know that as with any home on the sound, you may encounter wild life and bugs. If a bug encounter will bother you, this may not be the home for you. We also have wild life families that have constructed their homes in the marshes of the water. A fox family, raccoon family, geese, deer, otter and ducks. Of course water fowl as well!
You will also see a plethora of fish, crabs and water creatures!

Our home is located right in the heart of Kill Devil Hills, centrally located close to everything! Food, shopping and activities are all literally a skip, hop and a jump away! There is a bicycle path directly in front of the home that people adore to use for an evening walk while the sun sets, cycling, dog walking, or walking/running! Our home is located super close to many beach accesses as well!! Taking a early morning walk/run on the OBX is a great way to start your day! Use this bicycle path, or take a fast trip over to the ocean side and watch the sunrise!

Most people get around by car, or bicycle, as everything is really close, and some people take long walks down the bicycle path that goes along the street in front of the home. At our home you will have a designated parking area for one car.

Strategies to get the very best vacation property experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• The earlier you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• To book the best rental within budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at Kill Devil Hills restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area visitor guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• First and foremost, have your group commit to date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Sound Front home in Kill Devil Hills-A Sound Choice! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property owner before you book the rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your visit, record any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the rental manager right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to stimulate future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
