Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Kill Devil Hills vacation property experience:

Find your perfect rental:

In the Kill Devil Hills area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
Summertime is the most expensive season in the Kill Devil Hills area. To get the best rental home within your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities.
Some property managers offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
Property management companies often offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area visitors guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose the perfect vacation rental in the Kill Devil Hills area:

Select vacation week and max budget.
Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. 5503 Bay Dreams * Community Pool & Boat Ramp has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Kill Devil Hills rentals search.
Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is often accessible online. If they are not listed, email or call the host before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what bed configuration is best for your vacation.
Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges could be applied to your invoice.
Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Tips for a smooth stay:

Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
During arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
Be respectful. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
Did you have a terrific vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
