Tips and Tricks to get the optimal vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in the Hatteras area. To get the best value, change your family's Hatteras trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Hatteras visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Make a plan and pick yourrental:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. First-floor oceanfront home with outdoor pool, hot tub, washer\/dryer - dog-friendly has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before you reserve the home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Hatteras destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Have a fantastic stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many issues.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• At Check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Upon check-out, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
