Policy
Basic equipment provided with every home includes standard large and small appliances in the kitchen, telephone, washer/dryer, enclosed hot/cold outside shower, fish cleaning station, and at least one cable color TV / VCR or DVD. All homes have central air-conditioning
and heat. 

Each home is equipped for basic housekeeping. Kitchens are stocked with cookware and dinnerware. Beds have mattress pads, bedspreads, blankets and pillows. You'll need to bring all paper products,
soaps, staples, personal items and linens. Linens may be reserved from the property management company with the rental. Homes are cleaned after every guest. 

After the property is reserved for you, a confirmation/lease agreement will be mailed to you confirming your reservation. You'll
need to return a signed copy of your lease along with an advance rent payment of one half the gross rent, $75 reservation fee, and trip insurance (if selected) within 14 days of the lease date. The signed lease and advanced rent payment must be returned to us within the allotted time or the reservation will be automatically canceled without notice. Please read the package carefully. An
explanation of the charges accompanying your rental fee is included: 7.0% NC sales tax, 5% lodging tax, security deposit and special charges. Please note that a $75 reservation fee is due with your initial payment. This fee covers added tenant services and administrative costs. When making your remittance, please be sure the name the reservation is booked under can be found on your check or money order along with the house name and dates of stay. Please, mark your calendar. We do not send out separate billing for the final balance. Final payment must be made no later than 30 days prior to your arrival. If the balance is not received by this time
we will treat the reservation as a cancellation and make every effort to re-rent the home to minimize your loss. Payments made after this 30 day deadline must be made by either a cashier's check, certified check or money order. Please give us a call to reconfirm your reservation and let us know your money is in the mail. 

NO PERSONAL CHECKS WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER THIS 30 DAY DEADLINE.

Three night minimum, partial week rentals in the Off and Mid season are offered. We can take your reservation two weeks before your scheduled arrival date. Some homes offer partial weeks during the
In and Prime season, but can only be booked one week before the date of arrival. 

A minimum of $250 security deposit is required for each of our properties. The D/C deposit is payable as part of the final balance and is listed in the lease agreement. We consider these funds as your
insurance that your vacation home is cared for by each vacationer. A member of our staff will carefully inspect the rental property after your departure and the full security deposit will be processed for return to you within 45 days of your departure date provided the cottage is left clean and damage free. Security deposits are collected and disbursed in accordance with the NC Vacation Rental Act. Upon your arrival please verify that your home is ship shape and notify the rental office immediately if anything is out of order. In lieu of a cash deposit, most homes offer a Security Deposit Waiver. The cost for Security Deposit Waiver (SDW) is included on your Advance Rent Request/Lease. SDW covers most
accidental damage to the premises up to $3,000.00. Purchasing the SDW in lieu of paying the D/C Deposit does not negate your responsibilities as a tenant. 

We offer VACATION INTERRUPTION INSURANCE covering financial losses you may incur because of unforeseen circumstances, illness, and injuries-it even includes coverage for mandatory hurricane evacuations. The cost of Trip Insurance is indicated on your rental lease and is due with your advance payment. For details, please read the brochure outlining the benefits, exclusions and limitations included with your rental lease or call the toll free number on the brochure for any questions about coverage. We highly recommend this coverage to protect your vacation investment. The property management company and the homeowners it represents are not responsible to refund monies paid in the event of mandatory evacuation, in accordance with the NC Vacation Rental Act. The property management company is licensed by the NC Insurance Commission to offer this insurance and is compensated by the
underwriter.

In the event that you must cancel your reservation, notify us as soon as possible. We will make every effort to re-rent the property. If we re-rent your cottage all monies (less a $75 cancellation fee, administrative fee, and trip insurance premium) will be returned within 30 days after receipt of the re-booking advance rent payment.
If after diligent effort, we are unable to re-rent the property, the full rent payment will be forfeited. 30 days or more prior to check-in, weeks may be switched to a week of equal value or rent applied towards a week of greater rental value within the same property / same year subject to a transfer fee of $75. Please contact our office for policy on switching from a higher season rate to lower season rate. 

At check-in you will receive two sets of keys, directions to the property and any rental items reserved. If your home is not ready when you arrive, you may relax at our Club Hatteras facility. During the In and Prime seasons, if you are certain you will arrive after 6:00 p.m., notify us by fax or email a minimum of 4 days prior, you will be rewarded with a coupon for a free pizza. This will enable us to prioritize our cleaning schedule. If paid in full, a check-in packet containing keys and directions will be left in our late check-in box located on the porch of the appropriate office. Guest check-out duties should be completed and home keys and rental items returned to our office. If you plan to leave earlier than the opening of the rental office, please leave the keys in the key box next to the office door and any rental items in the area adjacent
to the realty office. 

Please declare all pets. Some of our homes welcome your four legged family member (one per house). However, pets are not allowed in the majority of our homes. An additional nonrefundable pet charge of
$75 or as specified is required. TENANTS WILL BE SUBJECT TO EVICTION WITHOUT REFUND IF PETS ARE FOUND ON THE PREMISES OF ANY HOME NOT ALLOWING PETS.

Refunds cannot be made due to inclement weather or mechanical failure of equipment. Any necessary repairs will be made as soon as possible. One of the small trials of living on a barrier island is
that we are often forced to wait for parts and repairs beyond what would appear routine at your home. However, the earlier you report a problem, the sooner we can make it disappear. After several years of weathering hurricanes and the associated refunds, our homeowners have asked us for hurricane relief, and we agree it's time to share the weather burden. We can no longer offer refunds in the event of a hurricane evacuation. Fortunately, trip insurance is an affordable, viable alternative. Please select the vacation insurance option
detailed on your lease and protect your vacation investment. 

As agents, we are authorized by our owners to rent to family groups only. No sororities, fraternities or other such unmarried groups are permitted. 

Although linens are provided in many of our homes, some do not. Please make LINEN AND EQUIPMENT RESERVATIONS AT LEAST 30 DAYS PRIOR TO YOUR ARRIVAL. Supplies are limited. Partial linen orders are
accepted. All rented linens must be returned to the office upon departure. Please return all rented linens and other rental
items to the office. If you do not bring your rental items back to the office, we will bill $20 to your account as compensation to the cleaner who has to lug your rental items back. 

Every home in our rental program is equipped with a telephone and the phone number is printed on your confirmation. Owners
graciously furnish telephones for your convenience and safety. Please don't abuse this privilege by charging long distance calls to your host's phone. The telephone in your rental home is not connected to a switchboard. Any long distance calls should be charged to your calling card or made collect. If a toll call appears on the owner's phone bill for the dates you were in the property, the amount of the calls and a $20 service fee will be billed to your
account.

Every effort has been made to provide accurate and complete information; however, we are not responsible for printing errors,
omissions, equipment failure, owners changing their listings, or views offered by the unit changing after printing. Property manager cannot be held responsible for printing errors or for changes in rates, furnishings or equipment made by homeowners. Aerial photographs are intended to show general location only and are in no way guaranteeing the beach access, as the ebb and flow of the ocean
tides alter our shoreline continually. 

Please respect the wishes of our owners and guests and do not smoke in the homes listed as non-smoking. They will have the no smoking icon and/or a bullet listing the home as non-smoking. Fireworks are not permitted on the property, including decks, walkways, driveways and yards. The National Park Service should be consulted for the regulations regarding fireworks on the beaches.

New construction is taking place on the Outer Banks. We cannot be responsible for homes that may be under construction next to or near the home you rent. New construction may also alter the views from
homes. Please realize that this is a situation that changes quickly, or which we are often not aware, and is a matter beyond our control. Refunds or substitutions cannot be made. 

Most homes have locked owner's closets or cupboards for the owners' personal items. Please respect them. Motor homes may not be plugged into electrical outlets at the cottages, connected to septic systems, or used for accommodations. Some subdivision covenants prohibit motor homes on the property. Rearranging furniture or taking inside furniture or electronics outside is not allowed. Be sure to gather all of your personal items. We will not be
responsible for any items left in the unit. Items returned will include a $20 fee plus postage. Lost and found items unclaimed after 30 days are turned over to charity.

Weddings and large gatherings are only allowed in some homes and require a separate agreement. Special pricing and security deposits may be required. Please call and make arrangements with our event coordinator.

Many of our homes feature private pools, (some heated) and hot tubs for your vacation enjoyment. Pools and hot tubs are chemically serviced and cleaned regularly. It is the guests' responsibility for
the supervision and appropriate use of these amenities. Each pool and hot tub has rules posted. If you cannot find these rules posted, please contact our maintenance office and they will provide you with them. Pools are available for guest use for weeks including May 1 through October 31. Pools are chemically treated and serviced
on your arrival day. There will be a mid-week chemical check. Charges will apply for any additional cleaning required due to guest negligence or abuse. Pool heat is not offered year-round and may not be available in every house. Various methods are used to heat
pools. Thermostats are typically set at 82 degrees Fahrenheit. Each of these methods has limitations and heat may be unavailable without notice. Temperatures may vary and the degree of warmth cannot be guaranteed. Tampering with the thermostats may result in an additional charge to the guestPool heat will not be turned on during the In or Prime seasons for any reason. HOT TUBS are available year round unless otherwise indicated in the property description. Hot tubs are serviced on the day of your arrival. For multi-week rentals, the tub will be serviced once per week for each week of your stay. If you request additional cleanings there will be a $45 charge for this service. Hot tubs can be dangerous for children, pregnant women, and other people requiring medical attention or with sensitive skin conditions. Please take special care with hot tub covers as they are only styrofoam with a vinyl cover and can break easily. They are not intended to be used for sitting or walking upon. Hatteras Realty does not allow guests to rent hot tubs or soft tubs for homes not equipped with one due to possible electrical or structural problems that could arise.
