Our top Vacation rental booking tips:

When to go & When to book:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your vacation home.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. Reserve your vacation home in Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Hatteras visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Narrow your Search:

• Select vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Waterfront/Private Pier, Water Access/Pool&Tennis club/Kayaks/SUP/ping-pong has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking pages. If not, email or call the property management company before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or charges might be applied to your contract.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

Have a fantastic stay:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let burglars ruin your trip.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your visit, make note of any problem areas during arrival. E-mail the host immediately to relay any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be respectful. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a wonderful vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. 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 it a point as part of your feedback.
