Tricks and tips for getting the perfect rental experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Hatteras area. To get the best vacation home within your budget, we recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area travel guides which include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and choose the perfect Hatteras vacation home:

• First, have your family select the best dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Pet friendly oceanside home on Hatteras Island with easy beach access! has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. If they are not listed, email the property manager before you reserve the home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a property that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Hatteras attraction you simply love, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More tips for your visit:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Protect your property!
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your stay, make a record of any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the host right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
