Tips to get the best Kitty Hawk vacation property experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• To get the best value, consider changing your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many management companies supply Kitty Hawk area visitors guide magazines which often include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Kitty Hawk visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and choosing yourrental:

• Start by having your group choose vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. This Cozy Cottage by the Sea will steal your Heart and calm your Soul. has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before you book the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a particular Kitty Hawk attraction you crave, browse rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or could be applied to your agreement.

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Upon check-in, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an incredible resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
