How to get the best Buxton vacation property experience:

When to visit Buxton & When to book:

• Booking your Hatteras vacation home in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• In the Hatteras area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Some property management companies offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area visitor guides that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the perfect vacation rental in Buxton:

• Start by having your group choose vacation dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Oceanfront Buxton - Dog Friendly, Elevator, Pool, Hot Tub, Boardwalk to Beach has 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the host before you book the property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a certain Hatteras attraction you are enamored with, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a terrific stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, document any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
