Strategies to get the best Avon vacation home experience:

Get the best value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Hatteras area. To get the best value, try changing your family's Hatteras vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area visitors guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the perfect vacation home:

• Select vacation dates and spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Ocean and sunrise views and a quick walk to Avon Pier from Blue Crab! has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before you book the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a specific Hatteras beach you are crazy about, keep an eye out for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• Get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your .
• Upon arrival, document any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect 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 comments.
