Tricks and tips to get the optimal vacation property experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.

• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.

If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
