Tricks and tips to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

When to reserve a Hatteras rental home & When to go:

• In the Hatteras area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Booking your rental home six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To book the largest vacation home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Hatteras restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation 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 on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Hatteras area visitor guide magazines which include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation dates, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Oceanfront - Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator, Game & Media Rooms, Gazebo has 6 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before booking the property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to determine what is right for your vacation.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a specific Hatteras attraction you are enamored with, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

Advice for a great stay:

• We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Make a record of any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your life at home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on great feedback to inspire new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
