Tips and Tricks to get the best rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To find the best value, try shifting your family's Hatteras vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area visitors guides that include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

• To start, have your family agree to the best dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Semi-Oceanfront - Pool, Hot Tub, Game Room, Community Tennis Court has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or could be applied to your contract.
• If there's a certain Hatteras attraction you simply love, browse rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking

More tips for your visit:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an incredible resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic time? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
