Appreciate Oceanfront Island Living
Embrace the ultimate relaxation of island living when you book your next trip in Mirlo HI! This modern kid-friendly home is packed with amenities and has plenty of space for a enormous family, including your four-legged best friend, and there is plenty of parking space for 5+ cars in the driveway. Plus, this exceptional beach bungalow sits right on the coast meaning the Atlantic Ocean is literally outside your back door.

The ground level entry is accessible by both stairs and a ramp. An elevator located immediately inside the entry makes it painless for anyone with mobility issues to reach all levels of the home. You'll have a blast in the recreation room over a competitive game of foosball or billiards. To relax, simply sit back with a drink at the wet bar. Rainy day? No problem! Savor family movie nighttime in the media room with surround-sound speakers and Blu-ray Player or step outside on the covered deck to take a soak in the bubbly hot tub. Rest simple in a Master Queen Bedroom with attached full bathroom. Another bedroom with 2 sets of Bunk Beds can access a full-sized bathroom in the hall.

A covered front porch leads guests to the main entrance of this enchanting home and is a great place to read your favorite book while staying in the cooler shade. The middle floor offers guests a choice of four different bedrooms, each featuring comfortable beds, coastal décor and direct access to a covered ocean-view deck ideal for soaking in the ocean breeze. There are two huge King Master Bedrooms with attached full master bathrooms. A full-sized Jack-and-Jill style bathroom is shared by a Queen Bedroom and the fourth Bedroom featuring a single Pyramid Bunk Bed, ideal for the kids in your group. A conveniently located laundry room completes this level.

From the third floor, get the best of both worlds when you appreciate expansive water vistas of both the Pamlico Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. Unwind in a cavernous open-style living area with cozy furnishings and floor-to-ceiling windows that provide plenty of natural bright sunlight and a charming view of the ocean. The sizable kitchen features a corner bar with seating for 5, modern appliances, a wine rack, and comes entirely outfitted with anything you might need to serve up a tasty seafood masterpiece. Sit down to a home-cooked meal (or your favorite takeout dish!) with an ocean view at the dining table with seating for 10. A convenient half-bath is located in the hall. A final King Master Bedroom is located on this level and features a roomy Master Bath and direct access to the deck. In the morning, savor your coffee on the oceanfront deck as you watch the sun rise up over the ocean as the waves lap the shore and every evening, the soundview deck offers a front-row seat to the most striking sunsets on the beach.

Explore Historic Hatteras Island
If you've always wanted to get away from the busiest areas of the Outer Banks but still be within easy driving distance of local eateries, gift stores and landmarks, Rodanthe is the ideal place for you to take your next vacation! Just a few miles down the road, you can go birdwatching and discover the marshes of the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge or drive a few towns south to Buxton to climb the famed Cape Hatteras Lighthouse.

Our top Hatteras rental home booking tips and tricks:

Get the most from your rental home budget:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Reserving your rental home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To book the most suitable rental within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies supply Hatteras area travel guide magazines that include special offers, either offered directly by local businesses, 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.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Choose dates and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. 8045 Mirlo Hi * Oceanfront has 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before booking the vacation home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches.
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the owner about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• Looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Tips to have a terrific stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to compel new bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
