Strategies to get the very best Kitty Hawk rental experience:

When to go & When to reserve a rental home:

• The sooner you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kitty Hawk area travel guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the 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.

Make a plan and pick the rightrental:

• Select dates and budget.
• 650 ft. to the beach
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available online. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before booking your home. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Kitty Hawk attraction you are crazy about, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Tips for your stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• During check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules 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 can be a terrific source for finding the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out 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 feedback! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to compel new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
