Tips to get the perfect vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summer is high season in Kill Devil Hills. Book your Kill Devil Hills rental property in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Kill Devil Hills area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides have discounts for local shops and restaurants.

Planning and choosing the bestvacation home:

• Start by selecting your vacation dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Relax & Unwind! Cozy Fireplace - Keurig - Bring Dogs, Sm Boat, Surfboard has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before you reserve your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a particular Kill Devil Hills destination you are enamored with, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your group is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Have a great stay:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your visit, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. text the host right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of issues.
• Be respectful. Often, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on good ratings to drive more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
