Strategies to get the very best rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• To get the largest vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants.
• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Kill Devil Hills visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Planning and picking the rightrental home:

• Choose vacation week and maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Sand Life - Pelican's Upper Deck! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available online. If they are not listed, call the property management company before booking your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what bed configuration is suitable for your group.
• If there's an individual Kill Devil Hills attraction you love, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• During check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to drive more bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
