Tricks and tips to get the perfect Kill Devil Hills vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Summer time is high season in Kill Devil Hills. To book the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Kill Devil Hills attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Booking your vacation property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines have discounts for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Make a plan and choose a perfectvacation home:

• To start, have your group select a vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. 5045 Laughing Gulls * 6 Min Walk to Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible online. Otherwise, call the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what is right for your vacation family.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• 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. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.

Tips to have a fantastic stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your visit, inspect for any problem areas when you arrive. message the property manager immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
