Tips to get the perfect Kill Devil Hills vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your spending budget:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Kill Devil Hills area. To find the best value, change your family's Kill Devil Hills vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• The earlier you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Some property management companies offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides contain offers and deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Selecting and booking your Kill Devil Hills rental home:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Ocean Views! Steps To Beach! 5bd Luxury Home! has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Kill Devil Hills rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before reserving the home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• During arrival, make note of any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• At departure, take a walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on good ratings to propel more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
