Tips to get the best vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the most suitable rental home within your budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Hatteras area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have deals for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Begin by selecting trip dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Three-story beachfront home with private pool, hot tub, decks, & ocean views has 9 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before you book the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what is optimal for your vacation family.
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about your furry family members before booking.
• If there's a specific Hatteras beach you long to visit, look for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .

Know before you go:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your family vacation.
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your stay, note any problem areas during check in. Call the property manager immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to address 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.
