Strategies to get the best Kill Devil Hills rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking your Kill Devil Hills vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area travel guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Sea Captain's Cottage Oceanfront has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available online. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or costs applied to your agreement.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be helpful if damages are assessed.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to stimulate future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. 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 expeditiously to solve it.
