Tricks and tips to get the very best vacation property experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Summer months are high season in the Hatteras area. Booking your Hatteras vacation rental in the Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for 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 information, visitors guides contain deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Start by having your family commit to dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Beautifully updated classic OBX oceanfront, just steps from the beach! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. If not, call the property owner before booking the vacation property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what is suitable for your vacation family.
• If there's a specific Hatteras attraction you crave, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Upon check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many concerns.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• At departure, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to address 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.
