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!

Vacation rental booking tips:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summer is the most expensive season in Buxton. To get the best value, shift your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain discounts for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Choose vacation week and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. 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 rental home search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is generally available online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• Note any damages to the property during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from 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.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on great reviews to propel new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
