Getting the best Kitty Hawk rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• To get the best value, try changing your family's Kitty Hawk vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. 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, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The sooner you can book, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Kitty Hawk area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have discounts for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Selecting the perfect vacation rental in Kitty Hawk:

• Start by choosing your the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. LOCATION, privacy, spaciousness! Be on the beach instead of sitting in traffic! has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Kitty Hawk vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before you reserve the home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• If there's an individual Kitty Hawk destination you simply love, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the host's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas during check in. Contact the property manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to inspire more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
