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 classy 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 queen 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. No smoking/vaping.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect Salvo vacation home experience:

Getting the best value:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your Hatteras rental home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines contain discounts for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Filter your search:

• Begin by selecting the best vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Hot Tub
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. If not, reach out to the property manager before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Have a fantastic stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many difficulties.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would at home.
• To ensure that damages aren't attributed to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the rental manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
