How to book the best Hatteras vacation home experience:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. To book the best vacation home within budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Hatteras attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Many property management companies supply Hatteras area visitors guides which include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and picking the perfectrental:

• Choose vacation dates and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. The Skipper: Oceanside & Steps from the Ocean! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, email the property manager before reserving the home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what configuration is optimal for your family.
• Remember to include your furry companions! 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. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or charges could be applied to your agreement.
• Does your family require special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

More considerations for your visit:

• We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your life at home. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
