This neighborhood is bordered by a national park and just steps from the beachfront, making the Cottages at the Cape ideal for your family's next vacation! Located within a handsome resort village on Hatteras Island, this vacation rental is one of the closest suites to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse in Buxton. Inside, the home has been completely modernized with new paint, furnishings, and floor, bright from the natural light streaming in through the living space windows. Use the complimentary WiFi to research a fun new recipe to experiment on and get cooking in the full kitchen to create something special for tonight's family meal.

A walk will take you right to the beach. After a day in the surf, you can use the suite's outdoor shower to spritz away the sand before coming home to kick back on the living room couch to watch a good show or movie on the TV or head outside to the screened porch to read a favorite mystery novel. Don't forget to bring the family bicycles, because Buxton's shopping, eateries, and lighthouse are all very close.

Forget the 4WD car because three jetties to the east of the cottages produce some of the best fishing, surfing, and swimming on this island. Walking to the south will get you to the open beaches and the famed Cape Point, and if luck is on your side during the summer, you may pass a few sea turtle nests - just give them some room by staying outside the barriers!

Our top Hatteras rental home booking tips and tricks:

When to visit Buxton & When to reserve a Buxton rental home:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• To get the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain coupons for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Select vacation week and max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Gorgeous, renovated ocean-view home with central AC, W\/D & pool - near the beach has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. Otherwise, contact the property management company before booking the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what configuration is suitable for your vacation family.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Hatteras destination you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

During your stay:

• We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• Upon arrival, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and scan for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to inspire more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
