Tips and Tricks to get the best Hatteras vacation property experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• To book the best rental for your budget, we suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at Hatteras restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• In the Hatteras area, The sooner your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The best properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for 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 group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies typically offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, property management companies supply Hatteras area visitors guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and choose your prefectrental home:

• Start by having your group commit to dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Shifting Sands+Ocean Views! Dog Friendly w\/ Hot Tub, Elevator, + Screened Porch has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the host before booking the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what is best for your vacation.
• Is your group looking for special amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your group is bringing pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Contact the host immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and places you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on great feedback to drive new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
