You'll feel really blessed when you surround yourself with family and friends for a beach vacation at Lucky Stars. This oceanfront getaway in Buxton is located right on the Cape Hatteras National Seashore with expansive vistas of the Atlantic and effortless access to the beach. With four levels of decking that provide both shade and sun, there's no shortage of outdoor space for appreciating the salty ocean breezes. Whether you're curled up on the couch or preparing for a family dinner, the open-concept layout on the main level accepts everybody to savor the awesome ocean view. Upgrades include soaring vaulted ceilings, transom windows, wood floor, and juniper accent walls for plenty of coastal character. The chef in your group will appreciate the kitchen's granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Three of the four bedrooms on the mid-level feature deck access, ideal for falling asleep to the sound of crashing waves and waking up to an oceanfront sunrise. The roomy primary bedroom includes a king bed and ensuite bath for plenty of privacy. The fourth level loft space is furnished with a queen bed to serve as a fifth bedroom if needed. Bed and bath linens are always supplied at no additional charge, and the beds will be made with fresh sheets and pillowcases prior to your arrival. Downstairs, the ground level is dedicated to indoor entertainment. Show off your billiard skills on the pool table or curl up in front of the generously sized TV with home theater system for a movie nighttime. There's even a mini refrigerator so you can grab a cold drink without having to go upstairs. Lucky Stars is just a five-min. drive to Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, and just fifteen mins. from world-class fishing at the legendary Cape Point. On the other side of the island guests can access the sound via the Haulover Day Use Area, also known as Canadian Hole because of its ideal conditions for windsurfing and kiteboarding. But you don't have to be a watersports pro to enjoy this little soundside beach. It's a great place for families to swim, paddleboard and launch kayaks. Nearby eateries include Cockeyed Clam, Rusty's Surf & Turf, and the Orange Blossom Bakery & Cafe - a locals' favorite. Please note that the daily effects of winds, waves, tides and storms have contributed to coastal erosion impacts at Cape Hatteras National Seashore, particularly adjacent to the villages of Rodanthe and Buxton. The effects of erosion in these towns result in dynamic and unpredictable changes to the dune line, which may unexpectedly affect beach access. Guests may need to utilize alternate beach access points during their stay. No family pets allowed. No smoking/vaping.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Summer months are high season in the Hatteras area. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring months is an excellent way to save on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner 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 one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain money saving offers on local tours and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking the best Hatteras vacation home:

• Select a group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a maximum budget.
• Rec Room with Pool Table has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible online. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before reserving your home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to establish what is right for your trip.
• Is your family looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a rental that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Add the owner's phone number to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas when you arrive. text the property manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your quiet neighborhood. Employ the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a terrific vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
