How to book the best vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Booking your vacation home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• To find the best value, try shifting your trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, , and reduced traffic.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area visitors guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Beautiful Sunsets, Short walk to the Beach, Pet Friendly! has 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the host before you book the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the owner about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Is your family looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

More tips for your visit:

• Get the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would back home.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. Contact the rental manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
