The space
This newly-refreshed 7 bedroom, 5 bath home has an unequaled dune front location, with direct private beach access (shared with one other home). Indulge in charming ocean vistas from any of 3 Sunrise Decks, and gaze over the wetlands to Pamlico Sound beyond from any of 3 private Sunset Balconies or the top level Breakfast Deck.  Prepare a surf-and-turf feast on the Panorama Deck's outdoor kitchen/grille/bar, refresh in the 2nd deck hot tub, relax on the 1st deck hammock, picnic in the enclosed yard, and play on the outdoor volleyball court.

Savor your morning coffee while taking in the sunrise over the ocean or observe the eclectic mix of shore birds dip for their own breakfast and take flight . Finish the day with a charming glass of wine, watching the sunset over the Pamlico Sound as the deer and otters make their evening appearance in the wetlands, and colors change in the Atlantic Ocean.

The hours between coffee and moon rise beckon umbrellas and sand castles. Be sure to have a camera handy to capture the memories of your close family and friends, found beach treasures and wildlife including the Cape's famed ghost crabs. Get your dose of Vitamin Sea as you spend an idyllic day on the national seashore collecting shells, taking an invigorating dip in the ocean, savor the surfing, or fishing from Rodanthe pier--just a 5 min. walk down the beach.

Strategies to get the perfect rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summertime is high season in the Hatteras area. To get the most suitable rental for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• In the Hatteras area, The sooner your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Reserving your rental up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
• Some owners offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Hatteras area visitor guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

• Select a group leader, choose your dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. \"Get away from the world?\" \"Stunning\" \"Phenomenal\" has 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. Otherwise, email the property manager before booking the vacation property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds.
• Does your family require particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Advice for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your phone.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas when you arrive. Make contact with the host right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your trip.
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to stimulate new reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
