How to get the best Kill Devil Hills vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. Book your rental home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 loved ones at the beach.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area travel guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Finding the best vacation rental in Kill Devil Hills:

• Begin by choosing your trip dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. DESIGNER Beach Cottage - Only 2 Blocks to the Lifeguarded Beach!! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before you book the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what is suitable for your vacation.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Get information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many problems.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let thieves spoil your holiday.
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent resource to find the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
