Rental property booking tips:

Finding the best rental value:

• In the Hatteras area, The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Summer months are high season in the Hatteras area. Booking your Hatteras vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain discounts for nearby accommodations and attractions.

How to pick the best vacation home in Hatteras:

• Choose a group leader, choose your vacation week, and select a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Oceanfront Dog Friendly w\/ Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator, Cmty Boardwalk, + Game Room has 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve your home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine which bed configuration is best for your vacation group.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a certain Hatteras destination you love, keep an eye out for homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of issues.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Upon arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your life at home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on great ratings to stimulate more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
