How to book the best Kill Devil Hills vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Kill Devil Hills rental home:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your Kill Devil Hills vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a great way to save on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area visitor guides that include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental 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.

How to select the best rental in Kill Devil Hills:

• Choose a group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Canal Front Cottage short drive to the beach - Family and Pet Friendly! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking pages. If not, email or call the property management company before you book the property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your group is bringing pets, filter your search for a property that allows animals. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Kill Devil Hills attraction you are enamored with, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Have a great stay:

• Store the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• During arrival, record any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
