Booking during Hurricane Season (June 1st-Nov. 30th):
Booking a stay on our little sandbar during Hurricane season is always a little risky. These storms are unpredictable and can occur most often days or maybe a week before your stay. As listed, we have a strict cancellation policy which accepts for a full refund within the first 48 hours as long as the check-in date is at least 14 days away, a 50% refund for cancellations made at least 7 days before check-in, and no refunds for cancellations made within 7 days of check-in. If there were a mandatory evacuation while you were staying we would then give a full refund for the days that were affected by this action made by Dare County. If you choose to leave but no mandatory evacuation was issued you will not receive a refund. Some guests choose to purchase their own travel insurance policy through an independent company if they are nervous about this. Some of the most impressive times of the year on the Outer Banks are during Hurricane season, but our policies are important for you to consider when booking.

Our top Rental home booking tips:

Getting the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Summertime is high season in the Kill Devil Hills area. Reserve your vacation home in the Fall or Spring to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Finding the perfect rental in the Kill Devil Hills area:

• First, have your group agree to trip dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Slow Pace, OBX Cozy Beach Cottage, 2 min. walk to beach has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If not, email the property owner before reserving the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or could be applied to your contract.

More tips for your visit:

• Get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your . Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the host right away to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many problems.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did you have a terrific stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
