The Sound Castle - Vacation rental home in Kill Devil Hills, NC

About this Property

• Sleeps 6
• 3 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home

Three bedroom, two bath home located in the heart of Kill Devil Hills. Featuring Sunday check in and check out - skip the Saturday traffic! This home is our little sanctuary on the sound side of the OBX. A 2 min. drive to the beach! From rocking chairs on the front porch to outdoor furnishings and a swing downstairs on the carport area, there's room for everybody to find their own little corner for solitude or gather together for a homestyle happy hour.

We installed brand new floor throughout the home in 2022, eliminating all of the carpet on the main level. It looks and feels great!

There are 2 beach chairs and numerous body boards/skim boards available for use during your stay.

Please read rules for our home rental before reserving. We do require a minimum age of 25 to rent. We do require an ID check. We require the person renting our home be present in our home for the duration of the rental period. (I.e. Parents reserving our home on behalf of underage kids and not being present will result in cancellation of reservation. This can result in removal from our home if discovered during the rental period and there will be no refunds issued.)

Strategies to get the perfect Kill Devil Hills vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• To get the largest rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have offers and deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Planning and picking the perfectrental:

• Select a group leader, choose your dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. The Sound Castle has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what is suitable for your vacation group.
• If there's a specific Kill Devil Hills destination you are enamored with, browse properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Traveling with pets? 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! Additional pet fees or costs could be applied to your agreement.

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Upon arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your peace. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to inspire future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please 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.
