The beach is a 15-min. walk or 8-10 min. bicycle ride to the nearest public beach access with light and crosswalk across the main road and lifeguard station in season.

How to get the best Kill Devil Hills rental experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is a great way to save on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area travel guides which will include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with 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.

Planning and choosing the perfect Kill Devil Hills rental home:

• Start by selecting the best vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Private Pool??????? Hot Tub? Walk or Bike to Beach????Soundview, Privacy Fence has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email the host before reserving the property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is best for your vacation family.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

Have a great stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect your property!
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the property manager immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean 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.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on good feedback to compel new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
