New Construction! Short walk to beach AND sound! - Vacation rental home in Frisco, NC

About this Property

• Sleeps 4
• 2 Bedrooms
• 1 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home

Welcome to Sugar Dune! We are located at a unique, narrow section of Hatteras Island that is one row back from BOTH the beach and the sound. Our street is one of only a few places on the Outer Banks with access to both! Sugar dunes and cotton candy skies are just the cherry on top of this unique location--it's really the sweetest spot on the island! A trendy spot for wind/kitesurfing, kayaking, and SUPs on the sound side. The ocean side provides a magnificent beach for kids (flat, gradual slope) and beachcombing. We are also about a mile from Ramp 49 for those who savor the ORV beach experience. About a mile to the ferry terminal for a day trip to Ocracoke. Whatever your favorite Hatteras Island experience, it’s close by!

THE SPACE
This is a new construction home constructed with your memorable holiday in mind! The unique location means you appreciate water vistas from every room! You’ll see the ocean from the common areas and the sound from the bathroom and two bedrooms. Bring your binoculars for a better look at the dolphins, bald eagles, egrets, herons, and other shorebirds that also call Sugar Dune home. This first floor bungalow is completely separate from a second floor owner’s living space. There is a separate entrance, separate HVAC (that you control), and upgraded soundproofing installation throughout. Not a good fit for enormous groups or nighttime owls (peaceful hours 10p to 8a, please) or those opposed to occasionally hearing us upstairs.

Kitchen
Full, eat-in kitchen (table for four) supplied with everything you need to make a basic a meal at home.

Living Room
TV for streaming and vistas of the ocean. Basic cable also included.

Primary bedroom
Queen bed with vistas of the sound.

THE LOCATION
One row off the sound AND one row off the ocean. Access both through our community access points, both a fast walk from the home (about 100 yards walk to sound access and 200 yards walk to beach access).

Tricks and tips to get the best Hatteras rental experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• Book your Hatteras rental home in the Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Book your vacation home 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 vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have coupons for nearby tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• First, have your family choose date ranges and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. New Construction! Short walk to beach AND sound! has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, call the property management company before reserving the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what is right for your trip.
• If there's an individual Hatteras destination you simply love, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or applied to your invoice.

Tips for a wonderful stay:

• Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent lots of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect your property!
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
