Booking the best rental home experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• To get the best value, change your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer weather, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

• To start, have your group commit to the best dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Island Fantasea- Short Walk to Beach- Upper Level has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. If not, email or call the property manager before you book the vacation property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is right for your vacation family.
• If there's a specific Hatteras attraction you love, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• Some rental properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Advice for a terrific stay:

• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Hosts rely on good feedback to propel new reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation home. Please 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 fix it.
