Getting the best Hatteras rental experience:

Getting the most from your rental home budget:

• Summer time is high season in Rodanthe. To get the best value, try shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• In the Hatteras area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your vacation property up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Some owners offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, management companies supply Hatteras area travel guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose and book your Hatteras rental:

• Select a group lead, select your trip dates, and choose a budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Ocean Front House with Pool, Hot Tub, Game Room, Dog Friendly has 8 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often available online. Otherwise, contact the host before you reserve the property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• To make certain that no damages are linked to your visit, record any problem areas during check in. E-mail the property manager immediately to record your findings. 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 fireplace, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of problems.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed everything at departure. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good feedback to stimulate new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, 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 reasonably to remedy it.
