How to find the best Hatteras vacation home experience:

Finding your best deal:

• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Hatteras area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides contain deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• First and foremost, have your group select dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. 8BR Oceanfront home - Game & theater rooms, private pool, hot tub ????? has 8 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before reserving your home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If there's a particular Hatteras destination you crave, look for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas when you arrive. Call the rental manager immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peace. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected everything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on good ratings to propel future bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
