Vacation rental tips and tricks:

When to visit Salvo & When to book:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking your vacation home in the Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area visitor guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, selecting, and booking a perfect Hatteras vacation home:

• First, have your family decide on the best dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Classic Hatteras Island beach house in the heart of Salvo NC! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the host before you reserve the property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single event? Try a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Know before you go:

• Get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the rental manager right away to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
