How to get the best Hatteras vacation property experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserve your rental in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area travel guides which include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between 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 your Hatteras vacation home:

• Start by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Soundside, Dog Friendly Home with Hot Tub and Nearby Access to Beach has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property management company before booking the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what is optimal for your vacation family.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or charges applied to your agreement.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More considerations for your visit:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of problems.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, record any issues with the property and immediately alert the host. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a terrific source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to propel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
