Finding the best Kill Devil Hills vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Booking your vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Booking your vacation rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Some property managers offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area travel guide magazines which include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Kill Devil Hills visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Start by selecting your the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Water views and a fenced-in yard at Meehan Cottage in Colington Harbour has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before you book your rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a certain Kill Devil Hills beach you love, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or costs could be applied to your contract.

Some things to know before you go:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Note any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
