Tricks and tips to get the perfect Hatteras rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• In the Hatteras area, The earlier you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in Avon. Reserve your rental home in the Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable 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 on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers typically offer renters an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have coupons for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning and choosing the perfect Hatteras vacation home:

• Start by having your family decide on dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Waterfront home with amazing sound view, private pool, hot tub, & game room has 10 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. Otherwise, contact the property owner before reserving the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.
• If there's a certain Hatteras attraction you love, browse homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• We recommend storing the host's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would at home.
• To make sure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. Get in touch with the property manager right away to relay any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong 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 comments.
