Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, try shifting your family's Hatteras vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, , and reduced traffic.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many management companies supply Hatteras area travel guides that include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental 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.

How to pick the perfect vacation home:

• Select a group leader, select your vacation week, and select a maximum 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.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally available online. If not, reach out to the property management company before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

Know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few concerns.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Many rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
