Since we have had the Bungalow we have finished a lot of upgrades to the home that many of our guests appreciate. The enormous outdoor shower with an upsized rain-shower head is highly invigorating on hot summer days and feels extraordinary after the beach. On the right days and at the right times, the french doors open up completely to the front deck which adds an airy flow and the feel of and indoor-outdoor living space. The kitchen was themed with a distressed nautical look, open cabinets and contains most of the necessities for a chef. Our favorite hang out area is the great room, which has an open set up, vaulted ceilings and a "BigAss" Brand Haiku Fan, which, feels hypnotic like the soft drone of a helicopter propeller.

To us, a very clean bungalow is of the utmost importance for our guests upon arrival. In fact, our bungalows have always had very high cleanliness standards and though cleaning + inspection process. Recently, we have taken our cleaning process to the next level by implementing recommended CDC guidelines. Between each guest stay our beach bungalows are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized with EPA approved disinfectants on surfaces and common touch points.

Tricks and tips to get the best Kill Devil Hills vacation home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• In the Kill Devil Hills area, The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your rental property six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• To find the best value, change your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. 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? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the 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 unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.

You can also find Kill Devil Hills visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the best vacation home:

• To start, have your family decide on the best dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Chill Surf Bungalow OBX (Back for Limited Time) has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Kill Devil Hills rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before you reserve your home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your trip.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or costs may be applied to your agreement.
• If there's a certain Kill Devil Hills destination you simply love, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many issues.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• Record any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great feedback to drive new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
