Tips to get the best Rodanthe rental experience:

When to reserve a Hatteras rental & When to go:

June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Hatteras area. Booking in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving 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 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 your favorite beach.
The sooner you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area visitors guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Finding the best rental home:

First and foremost, have your family commit to dates and a max budget.
Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Semi-Oceanfront, Pool, Theater, Elevator, Stunning Ocean Views has 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
Specific details about bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible online. If not, contact the property owner before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
If there's a certain Hatteras beach you are enamored with, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Request details on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.

More considerations for your visit:

Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
Make a record of any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if damages are assessed.
Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches.
Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Record a video to document the condition of the property.
Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
