Strategies for getting the best Hatteras vacation rental experience:

Getting the best value:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your rental in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Hatteras visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to choose the best rental home:

• Start by selecting potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Cool Beans Beach House OBX has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible online. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few problems.
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• To make sure damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. Contact the rental manager immediately to report any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your life at home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not leave anything behind. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and look for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
