Finding the best rental experience:

When to go & When to book:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Waves. To book the best vacation home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Hatteras restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guide magazines contain deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• To start, have your group decide on the best dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. 8BR Oceanfront home w\/ theater room, game room, private pool, hot tub, tennis has 8 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before you reserve the property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• If there's a certain Hatteras attraction you simply love, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• During arrival, record any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of issues.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on good feedback to inspire new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
