Tips for getting the best Kill Devil Hills vacation rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• In the Kill Devil Hills area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Kill Devil Hills. To find the best value, change your family's Kill Devil Hills vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. 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 friends and family at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Kill Devil Hills area magazine 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 articles, visitors guide magazines contain offers and deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your dates, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. 5036 Sounds Great * 2 Min Walk to Albemarle Sound has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. Otherwise, email the host before you reserve the home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine what configuration is best for your trip.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must reserve a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Protect your property!
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to drive more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
