• Summertime is the most expensive season in Kill Devil Hills. To get the best value, consider shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation!
