Strategies for getting the best Kill Devil Hills vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the best value, shift your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Kill Devil Hills visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning and picking the right Kill Devil Hills rental home:

• Start by selecting trip dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. 5536 Compass Cay * Canalfront has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. If not, email or call the host before booking the home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking

During your stay:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Speak to the rental manager immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your peace. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
