Tips to get the best rental home experience:

When to go & When to reserve a rental home:

• In the Hatteras area, The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are high season in Avon. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes.
• Property managers sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have coupons for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Selecting and booking a perfect Hatteras rental home:

• Select a group lead, select your dates, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Sound Front Home with Convenient Wind Sports Access, Hot Tub, and Community Pool has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property manager before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or could be applied to your contract.
• If there's a particular Hatteras destination you crave, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

More considerations for your visit:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're out. Protect your property!
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your visit, inspect for any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the rental manager right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a fantastic vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix 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 feedback.
