Tips to get the perfect vacation home experience:

Get the best value:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Book your Hatteras vacation in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. 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 loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have discounts for local shops and restaurants.

Filter your search:

• To start, have your family select vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Oceanfront - Pool, Hot Tub, Game Room. Catch the 1st Wave in Waves! has 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before booking the home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what is right for your vacation group.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.

Advice for a great stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your .
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of concerns.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• To ensure that no damages are linked to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the host immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your peaceful home life. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
