IMPORTANT Note for my guests: This home is designed as a guest bungalow. The living space is 700 square feet with an additional 300 square feet of private deck space. It does not feel modest due to the high ceilings and layout, but may not be sizable enough for families with multiple kids.

I look forward to meeting you- Always Aloha- Dave

Tips and Tricks to get the very best Kitty Hawk vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the best value, consider changing your family's Kitty Hawk vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Kitty Hawk area visitor guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to pick the best rental home:

• Choose your vacation week and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Where the Beach and Nature Collide- has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property manager before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what configuration is optimal for your trip.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.

During your stay:

• Add the host's contact information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Note any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to compel future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. 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 expeditiously to fix it.
