How to find the best Hatteras vacation home experience:

Sticking to a budget:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Salvo. To book the largest rental for your budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Hatteras visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guides contain coupons for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Filter your rental search:

• Begin by choosing potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Sound Front Cottage with spectacular Sunset Views, Short walk to the beach has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available online. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you book the home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If your group is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

More considerations for your visit:

• Get the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of problems.
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• During arrival, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a great resource to find the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
