Tips to get the very best Hatteras vacation home experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. Book your Hatteras vacation home in Spring or Fall to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides contain offers and deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking your prefect Hatteras vacation home:

• Select a group lead, select your dates, and select a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Oceanfront Home in Rodanthe w\/ Panoramic Views & Hot Tub has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. If not, call the host before you book the property. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what configuration is right for your vacation group.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Some things to know before you go:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Record any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your life at home. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
