Strategies for getting the best Kitty Hawk rental experience:
Get the best rental home value:
- The earlier you can book, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your rental property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
- Summertime is high season in the Kitty Hawk area. Reserving a rental home in the Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes.
- Some owners offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
- Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
- Many rental management companies supply Kitty Hawk area travel guide magazines that include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Kitty Hawk visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.
Planning and picking the perfectrental:
- To start, have your family commit to a vacation week and a max budget.
- Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Kitty Hawk home with top-of-the-line amenities including elevator, theatre room, and rec room. has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
- Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking pages. If not, email or call the property manager before you reserve your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what is right for your vacation family.
- If your family is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
- Does your group require specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
- Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
More tips for your stay:
- Store the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
- Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
- Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect your property!
- Upon check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
- Be respectful. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
- Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
- Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
- Walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
- Did you have a wonderful vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
