Tips to get the best vacation property experience:

Get the best value:

• To get the best value, consider shifting your vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Kill Devil Hills visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Selecting the perfect rental home in Kill Devil Hills:

• Start by having your family choose vacation dates and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. OBX Getaway: Convenient Beach and Sound Access has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking websites. If not, call the host before reserving the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what is right for your group.
• Visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if a dispute arises.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents 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 out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to drive more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
