Tips to get the perfect rental experience:

When to book a Kitty Hawk rental & When to go:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Kitty Hawk area. Booking in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies supply Kitty Hawk area visitors guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

• Choose a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Tranquil Coastal Waterfront- Saltwater Pool\/125' Private Dock\/Outstanding Sunset has 5 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property owner before you book the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what is optimal for your group.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property management company about pet restrictions before booking.
• If there's an individual Kitty Hawk beach you are crazy about, browse homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
