Kitty Hawk rental home tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Reserve your Kitty Hawk rental property in Spring or Fall to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Kitty Hawk area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines have coupons for nearby tours and attractions.

Selecting the perfect rental home in Kitty Hawk:

• Choose your vacation dates and max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Pet friendly beach cottage – 5 minute walk to beach access! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available online. Otherwise, email the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation family.
• If there's an individual Kitty Hawk attraction you are crazy about, look for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the host immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• At departure, complete a walk-through to make sure you have not forget anything. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and look for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
