Tips and Tricks to get the optimal rental experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a Hatteras rental home:

• Booking in Fall or Spring is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. 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, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• In the Hatteras area, The sooner you can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby tours and attractions.

Filter your search:

• Select a group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Oceanfront Buxton - Dog Friendly, Elevator, Pool, Hot Tub, Boardwalk to Beach has 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before you reserve the property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Visiting for a single attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Add the property manager's information to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make sure damages aren't linked to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of problems.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Just prior to departing, complete a walk-through to confirm you have not leave anything behind. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out 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.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
