SOUNDFRONT, Avon – Island Creek Resort Salvo, Hatteras Colony – The sky is blue, the water is warm, and a gentle breeze of 15 knots is blowing cross onshore winds. What could be more ideal for the avid wind and kite surfer? For those who adore and live for the water, it would be staying at ISLAND TEMPEST, a three-bedroom/three full- and one-half-bath home located in the intimate and friendly Island Creek Resort. Here, beach lawns blend into the blue waters of the Pamlico Sound, providing the ideal playground for the active adventurer and indulgent idler alike. The cavernous home has just what you need to settle in and savor the true purpose of a vacation: to relax, restore and reconnect. Cozy bedrooms reveal spectacular vistas of the very waters you’ll want to conquer, while the artwork stokes your adventurous soul. The first level provides two master bedrooms: one with two singles and another with a king and private access to the mid-level deck. The sunlit family room, with an additional queen couch bed, provides ample space to play, stretch out, or perhaps even practice your daily yoga routine.

The top level’s open layout, with king master suite, has vaulted ceilings and floor to ceiling picture windows on three sides that offer uninterrupted vistas of the serene sound waters. Get comfortable on the great room couch, with additional queen couch bed, and watch your favorite movie or get creative for family meals in the well-supplied kitchen. Gather around the eight-seat dining table, with room for four more at the island bar, or venture to the deck to dine al fresco at the picnic table. Two levels of waterfront decking with Adirondack® deck chairs are the ideal place to appreciate indescribable sunsets and starry nights, while the six-person hot tub on the mid-level deck will certainly help you relax. You can revel in the peaceful and calming surroundings or find a community of like-minded neighbors at the community swimming pool, on the Avon beachfront, or as you prepare to launch your watercraft from the boat ramp and docks. Wind and kite surfers know it’s all about timing. There is no time like the present to book ISLAND TEMPEST for your next wild vacation adventure.

Tips for getting the perfect vacation rental experience:

Get the best rental value:

• Booking in Fall or Spring months is our favorite way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable homes. 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 friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked early. Reserving your vacation property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, management companies supply Hatteras area visitors guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Soundfront Home w\/ Hot Tub, Private Windsports Access, Cmty Pool, and Boat Dock has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property owner before you book the vacation property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is best for your family.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• At Check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Property managers are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your life at home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Double-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
