Finding the best vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• In the Hatteras area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Reserving your vacation rental 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 rental property.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Hatteras area. To get the largest vacation home within your budget, we recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at Hatteras restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• First, have your group agree to dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Oceanfront - Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator, Game Room has 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. Otherwise, call the property owner before you reserve the rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is right for your vacation group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, search for a pet-friendly rental. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your peace. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
