CHECK-IN is any time after 4 pm and check-out is no later than 10 am. If the property is ready early we will let you know, but please plan for a 4 pm check-in.
Using the electronic lock: Enter the 4-digit code included before checking in and turn the knob clockwise to unlock. When locking up you will enter the 4-digit code, wait for the emblem on the panel to flash green, and turn the knob counterclockwise to lock up. PULL DOOR TIGHTLY TOWARDS YOU WHILE LOCKING UP!

The laundry room will be available to guests that have a reservation of 5 days or longer. The detergent will not be included. Anything heavily soiled with sand etc. please hose off before using the washer. The hose is located on the left side of the laundry room door. Remember to empty out dryer lint after use. The key for the laundry room will be located in a lockbox on the door with a code to be supplied just before check-in.

Rinse off sandy feet using the hose or shower before entering indoors.

Conserve electricity! Turn off all lights and ceiling fans when leaving the home for an extended period of time. Be mindful of the thermostat and keep windows and doors shut if running the AC. 72 is a good starting point! Do not lower AC temp below 62, this will freeze the unit.

Walking/cycling to the beach:
Walking takes about 15 mins- if you’re carrying multiple items, I would suggest the 2 min. car ride. Leaving the home, take a right and head to the end of Wyandotte Street. There you’ll make a right onto Third Street and go to the end of the street where there is a light and a cross walk. Here you can cross and follow the road down to 3rd Street beach access. There is a vacant K-mart on the corner of 5th Street where parking is always available! This is a favorite spot to park as it is also super close distance to the beach and a fast drive from the home.

Gas grille:
I will try to always provide a long lighter for guests, located in the utensil drawer in the kitchen. If you plan on utilizing the grille pack one just in case! Access to the gas in order to ignite the flame, go through the grates on the top. Let me know if you have any questions.

String lights:
Turn the string lights on the deck by simply plugging the extension cord into the wall on the right side of the sliding glass door; just behind the chair.

Getting the best rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in Kill Devil Hills. To get the best value, change your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, , and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• 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, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides contain coupons for local tours and attractions.

Choosing the perfect vacation rental in the Kill Devil Hills area:

• Select a group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Perfect for small groups of friends or families has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible online. If they are not listed, email or call the property owner before reserving the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or may be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a particular Kill Devil Hills beach you long to visit, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

More considerations:

• Get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Make a record of any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything at departure. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
