Booking the best vacation property experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the best value, try changing your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front 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? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. 5237 Carpe Dune * Oceanfront has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking pages. Otherwise, email the host before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is optimal for your group.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

Tips for your stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
