Tricks and tips for getting the best Hatteras rental home experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• In the Hatteras area, The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Booking your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Summer months are high season in Salvo. To find the best rental home within your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at Hatteras restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area visitors guides which will include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

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

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Dune Haus ~ Lovely Oceanfront Cottage Private Cape Hatteras Beach HotTub Lift has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking pages. If not, email the property manager before reserving your rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a property that allows animals. Get information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

Tips for a smooth stay:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many concerns.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• During check-in, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious vacationers disrupting your life at home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on great reviews to inspire more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
