• Private vacation home

Three bedroom, two bath home located in the heart of Kill Devil Hills! Saturday check-in/check-out. 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!

Our top Kill Devil Hills vacation rental home tips and tricks:

When to go & When to reserve a rental home:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, property management companies supply Kill Devil Hills area visitor guide magazines that include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and choosing your prefectvacation home:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration you need. The Sound Castle has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property manager before you book the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

During your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many difficulties.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
• At Check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great resource to find the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a great time? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
