Tips to get the perfect Avon rental experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• In the Hatteras area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Summer months are high season in the Hatteras area. To get the best rental for your budget, we recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Hatteras attractions. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking 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 local stories, visitor guides have coupons for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Start by having your family agree to date ranges and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Sound View, Dog Friendly Home in Avon with Pool, Hot Tub, and Game Room! has 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before reserving the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or applied to your invoice.
• Visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Additional considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Save the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let thieves spoil your family vacation.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. Make contact with the rental manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just before checking out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. 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.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on good ratings to stimulate future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
