Make your escape to Afterdune Delight, an oceanfront getaway in Salvo that the entire family will appreciate - including the canine members! A path leads from the backyard directly to the beach for fun-filled days of swimming, surfing and fishing. Back at the home, three levels of decking provide sun, shade and plenty of outdoor space for appreciating the salty ocean breezes. Take a calming soak in the bubbly hot tub or climb up to the Ship's Watch for striking sunrises and expansive vistas of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Inside, a sunroom off the living area serves as an extension of the great room and offers a wall of east-facing windows for enjoying the ocean view. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams add to the coastal character of this unique space. The open-concept layout ensures sight lines and flow into the eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Sit down at the table for family meals or dine al fresco on the deck with picnic table. The beautiful yet practical LVP floor that runs throughout the home (including the bedrooms) is ideal for sandy feet and paws returning from the beach. Four of the five bedrooms are located on the top level, including a king suite with semi-private bath. Bed and bath linens are always included at no additional charge, and the beds will be made with fresh sheets and pillowcases prior to your arrival. Downstairs, the broad mid-level rec room is all about indoor fun with family and friends. Between the pool table, ping pong and foosball, everybody in your group can flex their skills or discover a talent they never knew they had. For more laid-back entertainment, kick up your feet and watch a movie or the big game on the 55" TV with Surround Sound. The mid-level also includes another full bath and the fifth bedroom - a bunk room ideal for kids. A laundry/utility room is equipped with an additional full-size refrigerator for storing the catch of the day or additional groceries. Stock up on provisions at The Blue Whale grocery store, which is only a short walk from the home and carries everything from produce, deli items and craft beer to beach supplies, bait and tackle. Afterdune Delight is just 1 mile north of the trendy Salvo Day Use Area, where you can experience the other side of the island. Located on the Pamlico Sound and maintained by the National Park Service, this family-friendly soundside beach includes a picnic area and restroom facilities. It's the ideal place for launching kayaks, kiteboards and SUP's. For more adventure, take a short drive south to Cape Hatteras where you can climb the lighthouse, go driving on the beach, or hop on a ferry to Ocracoke. Animals allowed - dogs only.

Strategies to get the best Hatteras vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Salvo. To find the largest vacation home within budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Hatteras restaurants and activities.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides contain money saving offers on local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Planning, picking, and booking yourvacation home:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Dogs OK has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property manager before you book the vacation home. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You'll need to determine what configuration is best for your vacation.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's an individual Hatteras destination you simply love, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Additional considerations:

• Get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents quite a few issues.
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• To make certain that damages aren't linked to your stay, note any problem areas when you arrive. text the host immediately to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on good ratings to stimulate new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your review find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
