Explore Historic Hatteras Island
If you've always wanted to get away from the busiest areas of the Outer Banks but still be within painless driving distance of local eateries, gift stores, and landmarks, Hatteras is the ideal place for you to take your next vacation! Just a few miles down the road, you can go birdwatching and discover the marshes of the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge or drive to Buxton to climb the famed Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. The anglers in your group will appreciate being so close to Cape Point where they can try their luck reeling in a big catch. To learn more about the area's impressive history, stop by the Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station to learn about how water rescues were carried out long before modern technology. For a fast bite or tasty breakfast, drive down to the Orange Blossom Cafe for an apple ugly that's definitely worth writing home about.

There are also dozens of local stores within simple driving distance and all the fun adventures to be had in Hatteras Landing, so there is always something fun to do for the whole family.

How to book the best rental experience:
Money saving strategies:
- To book the best rental home within your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular Hatteras attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
- The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation property six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
- Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
- Booking websites usually offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
- Find a copy of your local Hatteras visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines contain deals for local tours and attractions.
Selecting the best vacation rental:
- Select a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a max budget.
- Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Soundfront *Pool *Elevator *Hot Tub *Sandy Beach has 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
- Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before booking the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
- If there's a certain Hatteras destination you crave, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
- Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before booking
- Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of family pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.
Have a great stay:
- Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
- Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if damages are assessed.
- Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
- Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
- Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
- Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would back home.
- At departure, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
- Walk through the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
- Leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to drive new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
