Tips for getting the best rental experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the best value, try shifting your vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies often offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Kitty Hawk visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guide magazines contain deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to choose the best rental home:

• Start by choosing your a vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Tranquil Coastal Waterfront- Saltwater Pool\/125' Private Dock\/Outstanding Sunset has 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Kitty Hawk rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property owner before booking your rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You will need to determine what configuration is best for your group.
• If there's a specific Kitty Hawk attraction you long to visit, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or charges applied to your contract.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Add the host's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the rental manager right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few issues.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible resource to find the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
