Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect vacation property experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Booking in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Kill Devil Hills vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kill Devil Hills area travel guide magazines that include special offers, either offered directly 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 and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose your vacation dates and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. WEL307 Downs by the Sea. Oceanfront, Luxury Condo, Saltwater Pool, Elevator! has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property owner before you reserve the home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• Visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• Some rentals allow pets, but some do not. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Take a copy of the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property.
• To make certain that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the host right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your peaceful home life. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
