Tips to get the perfect rental experience:

When to go & When to book:

• In the Hatteras area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• To find the best value, try shifting your family's Hatteras vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guides have money saving offers on local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Planning and picking the right Hatteras rental:

• To start, have your group select vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Oceanfront - Dog Friendly, Pool, Hot Tub, Game Room has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the host before booking your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what is right for your family.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Hatteras destination you love, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Have a fantastic stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Keep your property safe!
• Record any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on good feedback to propel new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
