Getting the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Book your Hatteras vacation in Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• In the Hatteras area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early.

• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.

Tips to have a terrific stay:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many difficulties.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
