The Outer Banks Motel on Cape Hatteras is offering a unique opportunity to stay in one of its original, though newly refreshed, two bedroom cottages that was moved from the oceanfront location decades before to rescue it from an impending hurricane. The guest favorite "G3" as we call it, is part of the 'Garden Cottages Collection' and is safely located one mile from the oceanfront on the historic Cape Creek Canal. After registering and procuring your bungalow keys and directions from the main office located on the oceanfront, you'll park in the gravel lot that was once a lush family garden 50+ years ago. After climbing a few short steps to the deck overlooking the Creek, your key opens the storm door to the glassed-in four-season porch complete with rocking chairs. Another keyed door off the porch opens into the living area. The main interior features an open floor plan with each of its two bedrooms opening into the main living and dining area. Each bedroom has an antique dresser, double bed and a twin bed, closet, and additional blankets. The bedroom windows look out onto the Canal. The complete kitchen has all the amenities you may need, including a full range, full sized refrigerator, microwave, dual tub kitchen sink, standard coffee maker, toaster, and electric can opener. Every utensil, pan, pot, and complete set of dishes are there for your convenience. A full-sized dining room table with six chairs is located between the kitchen and living room area. The living room has a comfortable leather couch and nautical-themed lounge chair with additional pillows. A 32" Intelligent T.V. with standard cable and internet is there for your rainy day enjoyment. Several family heirloom antiques are blended throughout the decor adding to the casual island ambiance. The full bathroom is located at the far end of the bungalow, complete with bathtub and shower for those days when only a long soaking bath will do. On clear nights, you may see the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse light circle the sky every seven seconds over the Creek. Full access to the pool, hot tub and oceanfront amenities are included.

Please Note: Cancellations must be made at least two weeks in advance to be eligible for a refund.

Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your Hatteras vacation in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Narrow your Search:

• Begin by selecting the best vacation week and a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Village Accomodations - Two Bedroom Cottage Two Doubles and Two Twins has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often available on booking websites. If not, call the host before reserving the rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is best for your family.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's a specific Hatteras beach you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Additional considerations:

• Add the owner's contact information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Lock your rental while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Document any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. 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.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to inspire new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your review 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.
