Tricks and tips to get the optimal Hatteras vacation rental experience:

Finding your best deal:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in the Hatteras area. To find the largest vacation home within your budget, we suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Some owners offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines have money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

Filter your search:

• First, have your family decide on dates and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. 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 rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If they are not listed, email or call the host before you reserve the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or charges may be applied to your contract.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Additional considerations:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of issues.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• At Check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on great feedback to drive future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
