How to get the best Buxton vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summer months are high season in the Hatteras area. Booking in Fall or Spring is an excellent way to save on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Hatteras visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning and picking a perfectrental home:

• Choose a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Ocean-view home with central AC, pool, & hot tub has 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before you reserve your rental. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your family.
• If there's a particular Hatteras beach you crave, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Document any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peace. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean 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 family have a excellent vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect 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.
