Our top Kill Devil Hills rental property booking tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in Kill Devil Hills. To find the best value, shift your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• In the Kill Devil Hills area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked very early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Kill Devil Hills visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, travel guides contain discounts for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Make a plan and choose the best Kill Devil Hills rental home:

• Choose your dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. 5536 Compass Cay * Canalfront has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before you book the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• If there's an individual Kill Devil Hills destination you are enamored with, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.

Know before you go:

• Add the owner's contact info to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Record any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of issues.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a great stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
