Tips to get the very best Hatteras vacation property experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the best value, shift your family's Hatteras vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies supply Hatteras area visitor guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and choose the best Hatteras rental:

• Select your dates and budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. OBX Family Home and additional Beach Cottage has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property management company before you book the property. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is optimal for your trip.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

More tips for your visit:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would back home.
• To make certain damages are not linked to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the rental manager right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your life at home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on good reviews to stimulate more bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
