Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect rental home experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Kill Devil Hills area. Reserve your rental home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• The earlier your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your rental home up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area visitors guide magazines which will include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through 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 gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the perfect vacation home:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Canal Front Cottage short drive to the beach - Family and Pet Friendly! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available online. Otherwise, contact the property owner before reserving the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is best for your vacation.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your . Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, record any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the rental manager right away to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to inspire new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. 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 quickly to remedy it.
