This is a dog friendly rental. While we and our cleaners are as thorough as possible, If you have pet allergies this listing may not be suitable for you.

Dogs only - max. of 2 dogs allowed. Please let us know in advance if you plan to bring your dog and add them to your guest count in order for the pet fee to be charged.

Dogs are not to be left alone unattended in the yard (ever) or in the home uncrated for extended periods of time. Be sure to pick up after your dog in all areas and keep your dog off the furnishings. If you have a "shedding" type breed, clean-up also means hair within reason. Failure to do so or any damage from your dog will result in an additional fee.

Please note that this is a vacation rental and not a hotel. (We appreciate and savor our guests and really mean that in the absolute nicest way!) You will need to roll trash carts out for trash pickup, do your dishes, etc., and basically leave the home reasonably as you found it.

If you use the grille please clean it before departure for the next guests. Our cleaners do not clean grilles. If you use the last of the propane in one of the tanks, please let us know or replace it.

If you break something please replace it or let us know ahead of time so that we can be proactive for the next guests. We know accidents happen - just help us out!

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Kill Devil Hills vacation property experience:

How to get the best value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Kill Devil Hills. Booking your Kill Devil Hills vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area visitors guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to pick the best vacation home in Kill Devil Hills:

• Choose your vacation week and budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. New! West Side Near Nags Head Woods ~ Private Pool~ Fenced Yard - Dog Friendly has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking websites. If not, contact the host before you book the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what is optimal for your family.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any damages to the property during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
