Our home sits at the end of a cul-de-sac and is surrounded by tree canopy to create privacy from close by homes while still accepting expansive vistas of the Atlantic Ocean from the deck. The private beach path is right beside our home, making it an simple 3 min. walk to the beach. All 5 bedrooms are roomy and have sliding glass doors opening out to two levels of wrap-around decks.

How to get the best vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Booking your vacation home in the Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kitty Hawk vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies supply Kitty Hawk area visitors guides which include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Finding the perfect vacation home in Kitty Hawk:

• First and foremost, have your family agree to vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Gorgeous 5 BDRM w\/Sweeping Ocean Views + Pool - Dog Friendly has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually accessible online. Otherwise, email the property manager before you reserve the home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's an individual Kitty Hawk beach you are crazy about, browse rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many problems.
• Respecting 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 an incredible resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would at home.
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. 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.
• Did your group have a great stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
