Our top Rental property booking tips:

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

• The earlier you can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• To book the best vacation home within budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at Kitty Hawk restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Kitty Hawk visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guide magazines have deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Planning and picking a perfectrental home:

• To start, have your family decide on date ranges and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Beachside home in the heart of Duck, NC and walkable to the ocean! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before reserving the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or costs might be applied to your agreement.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

During your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• At Check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic stay? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
