Our top Kitty Hawk rental home tips and tricks:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Kitty Hawk area. Booking in Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local Kitty Hawk visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides contain deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Choosing the best rental in Kitty Hawk:

• Select vacation dates and max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. A coastal getaway in a private neighborhood in quaint Duck, NC has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, email the property manager before you book the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is suitable for your group.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly rental. Get specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Kitty Hawk destination you are crazy about, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Some things to know before you go:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to propel more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
