Tips to get the perfect Rodanthe rental home experience:

Find your best deal:

• To get the best value, try changing your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• In the Hatteras area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area travel guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and choose the bestrental:

• Start by having your group agree to trip dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Oceanfront Dog Friendly Home with Direct Beach Access and Screened Porch has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available online. If not, email or call the property management company before reserving your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is right for your group.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Request details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a great stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the rental manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many concerns.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific resource to find the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
