How to get the best Hatteras rental home experience:

When to go & When to book:

• Summer time is high season in the Hatteras area. To get the best value, change your family's Hatteras vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. 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 reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable 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 vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Hatteras visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides have deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

How to choose and book your Hatteras vacation home:

• Choose your vacation week and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Oceanfront Home in Hatteras - Dog Friendly, Elevator, Pool, Hot Tub has 9 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the host before you book the rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Does your family require special amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, hosts charge additional pet fees.

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the host immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
