Tucked away on Colony Drive in Salvo, this comfortable oceanfront bungalow will really put your mind at ease. Simple yet sophisticated, Idle Minds offers three bedrooms and two baths, ocean vistas, and beautiful interior design.

An outdoor shower comes in handy for a fast rinse after a trip to the beach, and a charcoal grille off the back deck where everybody hangs out makes cooking out fun. There are two entry points to this bungalow: one in the front, and one in the back. The front stairs lead up to a sundeck that overhangs the drive, and the back stairs lead up to a bigger sundeck with a picnic table and hot tub.

As you enter the home from the front, you might not make it past the first room as a giant couch, flatscreen TV, Blu-ray player, and surround sound make this a premier spot to flop down and lounge the day away. A slew of board games and movies put the icing on the entertainment cake for both kids and adults alike.

Moving into the living room, a high vaulted ceiling really opens the place up. A couple of cozy chairs are ideal for reading the morning paper in, and a delightful couch and coffee table are centered around a marvelous fireplace creating an intimate setting. Just off the living room, you will find a cavernous bedroom with a king bed and flatscreen TV. There is a full bathroom next to this room that is accessible from the bedroom and the living room.

As you proceed to the back of the home, there is an eight-person dining room table that looks out toward the ocean through sliding glass doors. The kitchen has all matching appliances, including a cooktop stove on the island bar with bar stools, accepting you to socialize while you prepare meals. You'll find another four-people counter height table in the breakfast nook, and back entrance leading to the sundeck and carport.

Upstairs you'll find bedrooms two and three. The second bedroom has a pyramid-style bed and is connected to bedroom three by a bathroom with a jetted tub. Bedroom three is an open loft space with a king-size bed. There is a sitting area that overlooks the living room, and the bed is tucked away in the back. Off this room, there are sliding glass doors that provide access to a second-level deck. From this deck, you can walk up one more level to the crow's nest that offers extraordinary ocean vistas of the pristine Salvo beaches.

Hatteras vacation rental booking tips and tricks:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To book the largest rental within your budget, we strongly suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area visitor guides that include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, selecting, and booking the bestvacation home:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group requires. Multi-level dog-friendly home w\/private hot tub, washer\/dryer, gas fireplace, AC has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. If not, email the property owner before you book your home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what is right for your vacation group.
• If there's a particular Hatteras destination you simply love, search for homes that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are useful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to compel future bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
