Strategies to get the best Kitty Hawk rental home experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Kitty Hawk rental home:

• In the Kitty Hawk area, The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Reserving your rental property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation home.
• Summer is high season in the Kitty Hawk area. Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kitty Hawk vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Some owners offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Kitty Hawk area visitors guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Kitty Hawk visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to pick the perfect vacation home in Kitty Hawk:

• First, have your group agree to date ranges and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. 4065 Downwinder * Oceanfront has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is normally available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the host before booking the home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of issues.
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect your property!
• Make a record of any damages to the property during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if damages are assessed.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from 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.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to inspire future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
