SEMI-OCEANFRONT Salvo - S. Sunrise Ct. - Make LUCKY OYSTER your vacation destination this year and discover island luxury at its best! This 4,680 sq. ft. home is located on a peaceful cul-de-sac, one lot from the ocean, but with no home directly in front, and offers unobstructed elegant ocean and sound vistas. Additionally, beach accesses with both dune and wooden walkway paths are conveniently located just steps away. Lucky Oyster offers an spectacular, unhindered view to the south of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, which is rather unique. On clear nights and early mornings, Cape Hatteras Lighthouse can be seen to the south. Stargazing and sunsets over the sound are equally remarkable! The home offers three levels of 360-degree decking, offering extreme privacy and impressive vistas. Upon arrival, load your bags into the all-level elevator for convenience. Inside the home you’ll find the broad game room featuring a pool table, ping-pong table, games and enormous-screen TV with DVD player and Xbox 360. The lower-level kitchenette provides space to prepare and lay out snacks for the group and also features a full-size refrigerator, a dedicated under-counter ice maker, double sink and a microwave. A full-bath and bedroom with two sets of bunk beds and a queen bed are also found on this level, as is the laundry room with industrial capacity washer and dryer. One level up, choose from three roomy king master-bedrooms, each with private bathroom, TV, walk-in closet and access to the wrap-around covered decks with ocean, sound and seashore vistas. One king master is a family-suite, featuring a daybed with trundle. The top-level offers a king master-suite with TV, walk-in closet and grandiose private bath with dual vanity and walk-in and linen closets. The bright and cavernous great room astounds with high, vaulted ceilings, wood floor and shining blue ocean vistas through windows that surround the room. The 75" HD Intelligent LED TV with BluRay player and sound system is mounted above the mantle with seating area for casual conversation. Tasty meals are prepared in the adjacent well-appointed gourmet kitchen, featuring stainless-steel appliances and bespoke cabinetry. The gas range and constructed-in wall oven and microwave will please any chef. A breakfast bar seats six. The two huge dining tables offer seating for 15 and are located to maximize the charming multi-faceted view. The screened-in porch to the south makes outdoor dining a breeze! After dinner, hop into the hot tub on the top deck and savor the view as the sun sets and the sky turns from blue to purple and then, orange, and the stars emerge. Take a dip in the shining private swimming pool with an inset kiddie pool and connecting waterfall. Gather around the poolside Tiki-bar for ultimate relaxation. Furry family members are most welcome at LUCKY OYSTER, a home owned by dog lovers! Your dog(s) will appreciate wandering the sizable, lighted, and fenced-in dog yard with covered first-level decking, just a slider-door away. The best thing about LUCKY OYSTER is how you'll feel about the fortunate “find” of this exceptional gem!

Tricks and tips to get the very best rental home experience:

Get 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 Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best rental home within your budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Many rental management companies supply Hatteras area travel guide magazines that include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the 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.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. Semi-Oceanfront, Dog Friendly Salvo Cottage w\/ Pool, Hot Tub, Tiki Bar + Game Rm has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before reserving the vacation property. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property management company about pet restrictions before booking.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your phone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Note any damages to the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on great feedback to compel future reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
