Tips and Tricks to get the optimal Kitty Hawk vacation property experience:

When to visit Kitty Hawk & When to reserve a Kitty Hawk rental home:

• Summertime is high season in the Kitty Hawk area. Booking your vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes.
• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies supply Kitty Hawk area travel guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, 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.

How to select the perfect rental home:

• Choose a group leader, select your dates, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. The Dorrell-Ships Watch Community in Duck NC has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before you book your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Does your family require special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rentals allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Document any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a terrific time? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
