Our top Vacation rental tips:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To get the best value, shift your vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Some property managers offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Many property management companies supply Hatteras area visitors guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning and choosing a perfectrental:

• Select vacation week and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. SUMMER SAVINGS - Semi-Oceanfront w/ Pool, Hot Tub, Nearby Beach Access, Theater has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before booking your rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what configuration is suitable for your trip.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Hatteras attraction you crave, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Have a fantastic stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few issues.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and scan for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on good reviews to drive future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
