How to get the best Kitty Hawk vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summer time is high season in the Kitty Hawk area. To book the largest rental home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Kitty Hawk attractions. 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.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply Kitty Hawk area visitors guides which often include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Kitty Hawk area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing the best vacation rental:

• Start by choosing your trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Renovated Cottage With Screened Porch, Ocean View, 5 Minute Walk To Beach! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking websites. If not, email the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• 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. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or costs might be applied to your contract.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

More considerations:

• We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many problems.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Note any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to inspire new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
