Tips to get the optimal Hatteras vacation property experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Summer is high season in the Hatteras area. Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Planning, selecting, and booking your Hatteras vacation home:

• Begin by selecting your the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. Oceanfront Dog Friendly w\/ Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator, Cmty Boardwalk, + Game Room has 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, reach out to the property management company before reserving your home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or charges might be applied to your invoice.

Additional considerations:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• During arrival, record any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many difficulties.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct 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.
