Hatteras rental home tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation 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 book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in Hatteras. Reserve your rental in Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Hatteras area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines contain coupons for local accommodations and attractions.

Make a plan and choose a perfectrental:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and choose a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Soundfront corner unit just feet to the beach! has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking websites. If not, call the property management company before you book your home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about your furry family members before booking.
• If there's a certain Hatteras beach you crave, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Considerations for your stay:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many issues.
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would back home.
• To make certain no damages are linked to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. E-mail the rental manager right away to record any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to inspire future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
