How to book the best Hatteras vacation rental experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation 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 evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides contain coupons for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and select a budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Easy Beach Access, Pool, Hot Tub, Theater & Game Rooms - Semi-Oceanfront in Avon has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before you book the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Hatteras attraction you long to visit, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Additional considerations:

• Add the host's information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many problems.
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• To make sure that no damages are attributed to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the host right away to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on great feedback to drive more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
