Tricks and tips to get the perfect vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summer time is high season in the Hatteras area. To find the best value, try shifting your family's Hatteras trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area visitor guide magazines which often include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the best vacation rental in the Hatteras area:

• Choose a group leader, select your dates, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Island Fantasea- Short Walk to Beach- Upper and Lower Level has 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually accessible online. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to determine what configuration is best for your group.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

During your stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• To make certain that no damages are linked to your stay, record any problem areas when you arrive. text the property manager immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on good ratings to drive new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
