How to get the best Hatteras vacation rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is high season in the Hatteras area. Reserve your Hatteras rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines contain deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to choose and book the perfectrental home:

• First, have your group commit to a vacation week and a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Three-story beachfront home with private pool, hot tub, decks, & ocean views has 9 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking pages. If not, email or call the property owner before you book the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or charges could be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a particular Hatteras beach you are crazy about, look for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

Advice for a terrific stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. We recommend storing the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many issues.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your stay, record any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the property manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great reviews to stimulate new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
