Tips to get the perfect Hatteras rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your Hatteras rental in the Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies usually offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area travel guides that include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting and booking yourrental home:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and choose a budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. The Skipper: Oceanside & Steps from the Ocean! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the host before booking the vacation property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is right for your family.
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about pet restrictions before booking.
• If there's a specific Hatteras beach you are crazy about, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

More tips for your stay:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of problems.
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your family's visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. Speak to the property manager right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful time? Most rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
