On the third level — accessible by a convenient elevator — the great room’s high ceilings, wood floors and multiple windows infuse the space with a warm casual elegance and natural light.

Hatteras vacation rental home tips:

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

• To get the best value, change your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines have discounts for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Semi-Oceanfront Dog Friendly Home with Private Pool, Hot Tub, Game Room has 10 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rental home search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If not, email or call the property manager before booking the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or costs may be applied to your agreement.

More considerations:

• Add the owner's information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• At Check-in, note any damages to the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! 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 out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
