Tricks and tips to get the optimal Kitty Hawk rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. Book your Kitty Hawk vacation home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 loved ones at the beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies supply Kitty Hawk area visitors guide magazines that include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Kitty Hawk visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and picking the perfectrental:

• Start by selecting the best vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Pet friendly beach cottage – 5 minute walk to beach access! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available online. If not, email or call the property manager before reserving the property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what is optimal for your vacation family.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or could be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a particular Kitty Hawk attraction you are enamored with, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Know before you go:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the property manager right away to document any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
