Vacation rental tips:

When to go & When to book:

Booking your vacation rental in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes.
The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
Many property management companies supply Nags Head area visitor guides which will include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Nags Head visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

Select your vacation dates and spending budget.
Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. 6138 Island Life Cottage * 1 Mile to Beach has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the host before you reserve your home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is suitable for your trip.
Looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

More considerations for your visit:

Take a copy of the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
Upon arrival, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many difficulties.
Respecting late-night 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 a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
Lock your vacation home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Go through the rental a final time and look for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
Did your family have a terrific stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
