The living area features plenty of comfortable seating and a 60" HDTV with home theater system.

Tips to get the perfect vacation home experience:

When to visit Salvo & When to reserve a rental home:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your Hatteras rental property in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Some hosts offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have discounts for local tours and attractions.

Selecting the best vacation rental in Salvo:

• Start by having your family choose trip dates and a spending budget.
• Rooftop Deck has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property management company before booking the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

Tips for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the rental manager immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order 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 comments.
