Have a great, calming time at our handsome beach, never busy with its golden sands. Savor a great day of surf fishing or sunbathing and come out at nighttime with your flashlights and go ghost crab hunting. The roads are peaceful and safe to walk or ride your bicycle to the day-use park. Get away from the hustle and bustle of life. Unwind on the deck at nighttime and watch the sky full of stars, so close you feel like you could touch them, or in the screened porch while appreciating your barbeque from the charcoal grille supplied.

How to book the best Salvo vacation home experience:

Money saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To book the largest rental home within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Hatteras restaurants and activities.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area visitor guides which include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• First and foremost, have your family decide on the best dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Cozy Beach Cottage! Pet Friendly! Booking now for 2024 and 2025! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• Is your group looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges applied to your invoice.

More tips for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently 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 fishing?
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect your property!
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix 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 feedback.
