Tips to get the optimal rental experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To get the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Kitty Hawk vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
Some hosts offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
Look for your local Kitty Hawk area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines contain discounts for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Planning, selecting, and booking the perfectrental:

Select your vacation dates and maximum budget.
Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Outer Banks Oceanside Cottage 'Sonrise' in Kitty Hawk has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is generally available online. Otherwise, contact the property owner before reserving the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
Are you visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
Some rental properties allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Advice for a great stay:

Get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
Upon check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many issues.
Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. 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 typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
Did you have a fantastic stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
