The level above it reveals a warm and welcoming great room, with a half-bath, cathedral ceilings, and a wall of window sliders offering multiple access points to the oceanfront deck. Settle into the comfortable sectional to catch a show on the Intelligent TV or perhaps let the more natural one outside grab your attention instead. Savor the gleaming white kitchen thoughtfully outfitted with everything you need to prep meals that can be served at the five-stool breakfast counter or eight-seat dining table.

Booking the best Hatteras vacation home experience:

When to visit Salvo & When to book:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Reserve your rental in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Selecting the best rental in the Hatteras area:

• Choose vacation week and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Oceanfront Dog Friendly Home in Salvo with Private Pool, Hot Tub, and Game Room has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property manager before you reserve your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to determine which bed configuration is optimal for your family.
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. message the rental manager immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible resource to find the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets 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 you have a great stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
