Finding the best vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Hatteras area. To book the best rental within budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular Hatteras attractions and restaurants.
• Some hosts offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain discounts for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Choosing the best rental in the Hatteras area:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and select a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Premier Oceanfront Home w\/ Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator, Game Room, + Beach Boardwalk has 9 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally available online. If they are not listed, contact the property manager before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of difficulties.
• Keep the property locked while you are out! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Record any damages to the property during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to inspire future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
