This neighborhood is bordered by a national park and just steps from the beachfront, making the Cottages at the Cape ideal for your family's next vacation! Located within a handsome resort village on Hatteras Island, this vacation rental is one of the closest suites to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse in Buxton. Inside, the home has been completely updated with new paint, furnishings, and floor, bright from the natural light streaming in through the living space windows. Use the complimentary WiFi to research a fun new recipe to experiment on and get cooking in the full kitchen to create something special for tonight's family meal.

A walk will take you right to the beach. After a day in the surf, you can use the suite's outdoor shower to spritz away the sand before coming home to kick back on the living room couch to watch a good show or movie on the TV or head outside to the screened porch to read a favorite mystery novel. Don't forget to bring the family bicycles, because Buxton's shopping, eateries, and lighthouse are all very close.

Forget the 4WD car because three jetties to the east of the cottages produce some of the best fishing, surfing, and swimming on this island. Walking to the south will get you to the open beaches and the famed Cape Point, and if luck is on your side during the summer, you may pass a few sea turtle nests - just give them some room by staying outside the barriers!

Hatteras rental home booking tips:

Finding the best value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the best value, consider changing your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm weather, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitors guide magazines have coupons for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on great reviews to propel future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
