Pet Fee
We enjoy bringing our two dogs, Max and Daisy, with us on vacation with us. For this reason we are a dog-friendly rental. We allow up to 2 dogs, up to 50 lbs. each.
(Sorry, no cats allowed.)
- At the time of booking please indicate that you are bringing your canine family member(s) with you so we can make sure that the pet fee is satisfied.
- We charge a one-time $129 non-returnable pet fee to bring your dog(s) with you. We don't like to charge this fee, but inevitably we will have dog-guests that cause damage to the home/property.
- Sorry… No cats allowed… It’s not that we don’t like our feline friends. It’s just that they sometimes leave permanent messes…

Travel Insurance
It is HIGHLY recommended and encouraged that you get travel insurance prior to traveling to the Outer Banks. As handsome as the OBX is, the weather is a very real threat. If you don't currently have a travel insurance agent we recommend going online and compare prices and coverage. There are typically numerous options to choose from all of which are between only 3% and 8% of your reservation cost. Cancellations due to forced evacuation, including but not limited to flooding or hurricanes, will not be refunded and must be covered by travel insurance. Do not book this property if this is not acceptable to you. Per the North Carolina Vacation Rental Act (NCVRA), if travel insurance is waived or not procured there will be no host-funded refunds for mandatory evacuations.

Rental Agreement
North Carolina Vacation Rental Act (NCVRA) requires all rental guests to sign a standard rental agreement. This will be emailed to you upon making the reservation and must be signed prior to arrival. You will not be given a door code or granted access to the property without signing the vacation rental agreement, per North Carolina transient rental law.

House Rules
- Parties are not allowed.
- The main guest booking the reservation must be at least 25 years of age.
- Smoking is not allowed in the home or on the property. If you smoke inside the home you will be charged a $250 fee and increased cleaning costs as well as any damages the smoke causes.
- Parking is only allowed in the driveway, not in the yard.
- Dog poo clean-up is your responsibility. Please clean all dog poo from the yard prior to check-out.
- If dog poo is found in the yard there will be an additional $50 charge for dog poo removal.
- Dogs are not allowed on beds or furnishings. It is VERY difficult to get dog hair out of linens and blankets.
- If dog hair is found on linens and blankets there will be an additional $150 charge for hair removal.
- Kids are not allowed in the hot tub unless supervised by an adult.
- Alcohol is not allowed in or near the hot tub. Use hot tub at your own risk. 
- Unless otherwise communicated, late checkout or early checkin is not allowed. Our housekeepers are on a very tight schedule and their time is valuable. Feel complimentary to send us a message to inquire, but please don't be surprised if we cannot accommodate.
- Soap, shampoo, toiletries, condiments, and charcoal are not supplied. 
- Max allowed human beings in this home is 11 total. This home is on a septic system and too many guests can put a strain and cause serious damage to the system. If there are found to be more than 11 human beings staying on the property they will asked to leave immediately or risk the remainder of the reservation being cancelled and no refund will be given. (We hate to sound harsh and threatening. but replacing a septic tank can cost upwards of $20K).
- There is a Ring Doorbell camera on the front door to ensure that the number of individuals on the reservation match the number of individuals on premises.
-If the Ring Doorbell is covered, removed, damaged, or tampered with all guests will immediately be evicted and no refunds will be given. (We hate to be harsh, but this is only to protect our gorgeous guests, ourselves, and the property.)
- In the summer months the home can get very warm. Keeping the blinds and drapes shut during the day can help keep the home cooler during the day. Please keep the air conditioners set no cooler than 71 degrees on these hot days. Lowering the AC units into the 60’s may result in the AC units becoming overworked and freezing up resulting in no air conditioning at all. 
- We do have some minor check-out duties that you will be asked to complete prior to checkout. Nothing major, but we wanted to mention it. More details are available in our digital welcome guide that will be sent to you prior to your reservation.

From time to time the front yard and driveway can accumulate standing water after severely heavy rain. We are, after all, on The Outer Banks! Please check the weather before you come and if a enormous storm is in the forecast bring some rain boots and it shouldn’t be an issue. The water typically recedes within a few days. All part of the appeal of visiting The Outer Banks!

*** UPDATE *** In July of 2021 we added 2 1/2 tons of millings to the driveway which increased driveway height over 4 inches. Since then we have had VERY heavy rains with no standing water under the car port. We figured we would leave this notice here anyways, just in case.

Thank you in advance to adhering to these rules. We trust that you know they are there for a reason and that’s to allow you to have as much fun as possible and be safe while doing it while respecting the home, the property, and the neighbors. Thank you and enjoy your stay!

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Salvo vacation property experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental six to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Booking your Hatteras vacation home in Fall or Spring months is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Some property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area travel guide magazines which include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose and book your prefect Hatteras rental home:

• Select dates and budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. ??4BR w\/Hot Tub!??5 min walk to beach! ???? Dog friendly!???? has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property owner before reserving the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Some properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking

More tips for your stay:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many problems.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• Record any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if there is a dispute.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to propel new reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
