Our top Hatteras rental booking tips:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Hatteras area. To find the largest vacation home within your budget, we recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Hatteras area visitor guide magazines which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose the perfect vacation rental in Hatteras:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Soundfront corner unit just feet to the beach! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before you book the property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Does your group require specific amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Record any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to drive new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
