Tips and Tricks to get the best Hatteras rental experience:

Get the most from your budget:

• In the Hatteras area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Summer time is high season in the Hatteras area. To get the best value, consider shifting your trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. 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 information, travel guide magazines contain coupons for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to choose the best rental in Waves:

• Select vacation dates and max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Oceanfront - Pool, Hot Tub, Game Room, Basketball Net has 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the host before you reserve your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what bed configuration is best for your vacation.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• If there's an individual Hatteras attraction you are crazy about, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many concerns.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• Upon check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• At departure, take a final walk-through to make sure you have not forget any personal items. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and look for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a excellent time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
