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 appreciate the marvelous 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 savor 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 cavernous 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.

Tips and Tricks for getting the best Hatteras vacation property experience:

Finding your perfect vacation home:

• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Hatteras area. Reserve your Hatteras vacation home in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area travel guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing the best vacation home:

• Select dates and max budget.
• Rec Room with Pool Table has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible online. If they are not listed, call the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to establish what configuration is best for your vacation family.
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the host about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Some things to know before you go:

• Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many concerns.
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your family vacation.
• To make certain damages are not linked to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas during check in. Call the property manager immediately to report any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
