All linens are supplied and are laundered with hypo-allergenic/scent complimentary products. We also supply toilet paper, soap, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel for your convenience. In the kitchen you'll find dish soap, a few pods of coffee to get you started, and a few basic cooking supplies. Please don't forget to bring your own beach towels and chairs. Animals will be considered for an additional $100 each fee. (Two family pets max)

In consideration of future guests, air frying is not allowed in the Studio. There is a table on the patio with an outlet next to it that may be used for using your Air Fryer. An additional cleaning charge must be applied if air frying has occurred inside.

This is the separate ground floor apartment in our home and we live and work upstairs, so we'll be sharing an ordinary home without any special soundproofing. We have supplied an air purifier in the bedroom that works as a white noise machine, as well. We make additional efforts to be peaceful early and late and hope you will, too.

Tricks and tips for getting the best rental experience:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• Reserve your vacation home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• In the Kill Devil Hills area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Booking your rental property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.

You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

• Document any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if a dispute arises.

• When it's time to leave, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. 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 suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
