Explore Historic Hatteras Island
If you've always wanted to get away from the busiest areas of the Outer Banks but still be within painless driving distance of local eateries, gift stores, and landmarks, Hatteras is the ideal place for you to take your next vacation! Just a few miles down the road, you can go birdwatching and discover the marshes of the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge or drive to Buxton to climb the famed Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. The anglers in your group will adore being so close to Cape Point where they can try their luck reeling in a big catch. To learn more about the area's appealing history, stop by the Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station to learn about how water rescues were carried out long before modern technology. For a quick bite or tasty breakfast, drive down to the Orange Blossom Cafe for an apple ugly that's definitely worth writing home about. For dinner, try a delicious seafood meal from Pangea Tavern or a burger from Bros. There are also dozens of local stores within simple driving distance and all the fun adventures to be had in Hatteras Landing, so there is always something fun to do for the whole family.

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Hatteras vacation property experience:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in Avon. Booking in the Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Selecting the perfect rental home in Avon:

• Start by having your group decide on date ranges and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Carrie's Place * Avon Village * Community Pool * Handicap Accessible has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If not, call the property owner before reserving the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to establish which bed configuration is right for your family.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or applied to your contract.
• If there's a particular Hatteras beach you love, look for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your . We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Record any issues with the property at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if there is a dispute.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected everything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
