Tricks and tips to get the best Hatteras vacation property experience:

Getting the best value:

• In the Hatteras area, The sooner you can book, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Summer months are high season in Hatteras. Booking in the Spring or Fall is a good way to save money on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many management companies supply Hatteras area visitor guides which often include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose the perfect rental in Hatteras:

• Start by selecting the best vacation week and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. For Reels - Soundfront Home - Pet Friendly has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before you book the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish what configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on great ratings to propel more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
