Tips and Tricks to get the best Hatteras vacation rental experience:

Finding the best rental value:

• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation property up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Summer time is high season in Avon. Booking your Hatteras vacation home in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites often offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many property management companies supply Hatteras area visitor guides which often include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning and picking yourrental:

• Start by selecting trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. OCEANFRONT AVON COTTAGE ON THE DUNES DOG FRIENDLY has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property management company before booking the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish what is right for your trip.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Does your family require special amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

Considerations for your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Note any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a fantastic resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on great reviews to drive future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to 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.
