Tricks and tips for getting the best Hatteras rental home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in the Hatteras area. To find the best value, consider changing your vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Hatteras visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines contain coupons for local tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Start by having your family commit to date ranges and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Waterfront home with amazing sound view, private pool, hot tub, & game room has 10 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property owner before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what is best for your group.
• 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 agreement! Extra fees or could be applied to your contract.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Have a great stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your stay, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the rental manager right away to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• On check-out day, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to propel future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
