Our top Avon vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Cost saving strategies:

• The sooner your group can book, the easier your search will be. The best rental homes are reserved early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Hatteras area. To book the best rental within your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Hatteras attractions. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area visitor guides that include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and pick the bestrental:

• First and foremost, have your family select the best dates and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Oceanfront - Dog Friendly, Pool, Hot Tub, Game Room has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available online. If they are not listed, call the property management company before you reserve the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is best for your vacation group.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.

• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• During arrival, note any issues with the rental property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Hosts rely on good feedback to inspire new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review.
