Our top Kitty Hawk vacation rental booking tips:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in the Kitty Hawk area. Reserve your rental property in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites often offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, rental management companies supply Kitty Hawk area visitors guide magazines which include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning, selecting, and booking your Kitty Hawk vacation home:

• To start, have your family decide on date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Tranquil Coastal Waterfront- Saltwater Pool\/125' Private Dock\/Outstanding Sunset has 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible online. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before reserving your home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what bed configuration is optimal for your group.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Kitty Hawk beach you are enamored with, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

During your stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• To make sure damages are not linked to your family's visit, record any problem areas during check in. E-mail the rental manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order 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.
