Our top Vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• The earlier you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Booking in the Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area visitor guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. Waterfront 2-Bedroom, 1.5-Bathroom Suite at REAL Watersports has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available online. Otherwise, call the property manager before you book the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? 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 the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let crooks ruin your holiday.
• At Check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on great feedback to propel more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
