***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 appreciate 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.

Our top Kill Devil Hills rental home booking tips:

Get the most from your budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Look for your local Kill Devil Hills visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby tours and attractions.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a group lead, select your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Sound Front home in Kill Devil Hills-A Sound Choice! has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what bed configuration is best for your vacation family.
• If there's a specific Kill Devil Hills beach you are crazy about, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a great stay:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure that damages are not linked to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during arrival. message the rental manager right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Re-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, 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 described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
