***Special Mention*** This home is directly on the sound! While it is definitely pretty, there are some things to note. When you live here, or are familiar to the Outer Banks, then you realize you HAVE to contend with bugs. Specifically Midgies, palmetto bugs and water spiders, ESPECIALLY when there is wind from the west! Midgies LOVE the light, and when you have the lights on outside at nighttime, or open the doors, they will FLOCK inside.
We ask that you please keep the doors and windows closed and outdoor lights off as much as possible, to help with this issue. We do have a quarterly contract with pest control for other pests, however, Midgies and mosquitos won't be affected by this.
You MUST know that as with any home on the sound, you may encounter wild life and bugs. If a bug encounter will bother you, this may not be the home for you. We also have wild life families that have constructed their homes in the marshes of the water. A fox family, raccoon family, geese, deer, otter and ducks. Of course water fowl as well!
You will also see a plethora of fish, crabs and water creatures!

Our home is located right in the heart of Kill Devil Hills, centrally located close to everything! Food, shopping and activities are all literally a skip, hop and a jump away! There is a bicycle path directly in front of the home that people adore to use for an evening walk while the sun sets, cycling, dog walking, or walking/running! Our home is located super close to many beach accesses as well!! Taking a early morning walk/run on the OBX is a great way to start your day! Use this bicycle path, or take a fast trip over to the ocean side and watch the sunrise!

Most people get around by car, or bicycle, as everything is really close, and some people take long walks down the bicycle path that goes along the street in front of the home. At our home you will have a designated parking area for one car.

How to find the best vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Book your Kill Devil Hills vacation in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Kill Devil Hills visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have coupons for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to choose the perfect rental home:

• Select your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Sound Front home in Kill Devil Hills-A Sound Choice! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the property owner before booking your home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is right for your vacation family.
• Remember to include your furry companions! 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! Pet fees or costs could be applied to your invoice.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Tips for your stay:

• Add the host's phone number to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if damages are assessed.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
