Kitty Hawk vacation rental home tips and tricks:

When to go & When to book:

• Summer months are high season in the Kitty Hawk area. Reserve your vacation home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Kitty Hawk vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• In the Kitty Hawk area, The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kitty Hawk area visitor guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Kitty Hawk visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Start by having your family choose the best dates and a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Renovated Cottage With Screened Porch, Ocean View, 5 Minute Walk To Beach! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before reserving the property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what is suitable for your group.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• During check-in, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few problems.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on good feedback to drive new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
