Sitting on the west and east sides of a well-maintained condominium, our rental offers breathtaking vistas of the canal and landscaped backyard. We take very good care of the property, seeking to give our guests the best of both a home and a hotel. Either on the unit’s east or west decks, the pristine beach, or by the pool, there is plenty of space to savor the sun in an area surrounded by nature.

Irida II is based on a theme. In recognition of the very long and storied maritime history of the Outer Banks, we created three rooms of photography – in effect three galleries – that tell a story of nature and the human want to sail. We are sailors, and we have been blessed for years to experience the fantastic gifts of nature the Outer Banks provides. It is our enjoyment to attempt to share our world through our eyes.

Grocery shopping and many eateries are all within a five-min. drive, and Ocean Air Sports – a leading watersports center on the outer banks – is next door. This area is one of the most trendy kiteboarding and windsurfing locations on the entire east coast, and it is equally known for its fishing. A beautiful canal gives access to Pamlico Sound, or public access to the ocean beach is only a ten-min. walk away. Given the Outer Banks, concentration of federal and state protected lands, there is ample opportunity for nature-based recreation, and its history is legendary.

Our unit is one level and is located on the first floor, making for easier accommodation than most places in the Outer Banks. The unit has a full kitchen, and two full bathrooms. Cable T.V. and internet are supplied, as well as access to the pool. A ground level storage unit is supplied, and is suitable for storing windsurfing, surfing, paddle boards, or kiteboarding equipment. The unit can hold two bicycles.

For your convenience, all linens, paper products, cleaning supplies, and personal care soaps are included. We are proud to select the healthiest products on the market.

Tips for getting the best vacation home experience:

Getting the best value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Hatteras visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines have discounts for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to choose and book your Hatteras rental:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your dates, and choose a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Artful Comfort Honoring Sailors and the Sea has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the host before reserving your rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches.
• Looking for special amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. 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 required amenities are included before booking
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or may be applied to your contract.

Tips for your stay:

• Get the host's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your . Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• To make sure that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, note any problem areas upon check in. Call the host right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peace. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
