Strategies to get the very best vacation home experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• Book your vacation in Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Kill Devil Hills area magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guides contain money saving offers on nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

How to select the perfect vacation home in the Kill Devil Hills area:

• Choose your vacation dates and max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Historic Cottage Steps from the Beach and Dog Friendly! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is usually available on booking websites. If not, email or call the property manager before reserving the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Does your group require unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your group is bringing pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your visit, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Get in touch with the rental manager right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of difficulties.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected everything. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on good reviews to drive more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
