How to get the best rental home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Summertime is high season in the Hatteras area. Booking in Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines contain deals for local tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• To start, have your family agree to vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Dog-friendly, oceanfront escape with private pool, hot tub, boardwalk & decks has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property owner before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a specific Hatteras beach you love, keep an eye out for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Document any damages to the property during check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. 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 a note as part of your comments.
