Hatteras rental property booking tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental value:

• In the Hatteras area, The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Summer months are high season in Hatteras. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is an excellent way to save on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes.
• 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 if your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Hatteras area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guides contain deals for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Choosing and booking your prefect Hatteras rental:

• Start by choosing your trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. For Reels - Soundfront Home - Pet Friendly has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If not, reach out to the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what configuration is right for your vacation group.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Is your family looking for specific amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

Advice for a great stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Upon arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
