New for 2022!! As some of you know, we purchased this property last year. We immediately painted and repaired the entire exterior, with new furnishings in numerous areas of the home. One of my favorites is the screened in porch. Towards the end of the season, we added beach chairs and equipment for our guest's enjoyment. This year we are focused on the railings, new shower fixtures, and a continuation of painting and updating this cute little bungalow that stands proudly right on the Beach!!

Please leave a fun memory from your week in our guestbook!

How to find the best rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Booking your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• To book the most suitable rental home within your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite Hatteras restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras area magazine 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, travel guide magazines contain discounts for local shops and restaurants.

Make a plan and choose the rightvacation home:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation week, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. OBX Beach Life Oceanfront cottage in Rodanthe 3 night minimum has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. If not, contact the property owner before reserving your home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental

Know before you go:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• During check-in, document any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
