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 booking tips and tricks:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in the Hatteras area. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Hatteras visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides contain deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Choosing the perfect vacation home:

• Start by having your group agree to trip dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. Gorgeous, renovated ocean-view home with central AC, W\/D & pool - near the beach has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before booking the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges might be applied to your invoice.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

During your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your visit, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. message the rental manager immediately to relay your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be respectful. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
