The hot tub is tucked away in this private entertaining area as well. Access the beach directly through the pool gate. Two outdoor showers, foot wash, and a cabana half-bath will welcome you back from a dip in the cool ocean. Whip up some fresh local fish for the whole family on either the gas or charcoal grilles.

How to book the best vacation home experience:

Get the best rental home value:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• To get the best value, shift your family's Hatteras trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to choose the best rental in Buxton:

• Start by having your family choose date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Hatteras Retreat Oceanfront Home + Pets Stay Free has 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking pages. If not, email the property manager before booking your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the owner's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• At Check-in, note any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
