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 charming 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 multiple 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 included. 
- 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!

Tricks and tips to get the best Hatteras rental experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Hatteras area. Reserve your rental home in the Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• In the Hatteras area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Reserving your rental home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have offers and deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Make a plan and choose the perfect Hatteras vacation home:

• To start, have your group agree to vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. ??4BR w\/Hot Tub!??5 min walk to beach! ???? Dog friendly!???? has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before reserving the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.

More tips for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your . We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of issues.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a terrific resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are gone, just like you would back home.
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't forget anything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
