OCEANFRONT — Greenwood Place — Settle into the awe of nature’s presence located in a pristine dune-top perch at SEASHELLA. Outside, the oceanside panorama is salve for the soul. Inside, warm Juniper wood and calming shades of blue are subtle reminders of the tamed wildness of Hatteras Island. Set back from the road, SEASHELLA offers two covered carports, two outdoor showers, a fish-cleaning table, and a private boardwalk that provides convenient dune-crossing access to the beach.

The first level is dedicated to dreams — the kind that come conveniently when you sleep in well-appointed comfort. One master bedroom features a king bed and a intelligent TV/DVD. Two additional rooms offer access to a screened-in porch: one with two bunk beds and another with a queen. Both have intelligent TVs/DVDs and share a full hallway bath. A second queen bedroom features a intelligent TV/DVD and private full bath.

The second level is superbly designed for family gatherings. Prep your fresh-catch-of-the-day in the bespoke-designed kitchen and appreciate it around the 10-seat dining table. Then, join in the great room to regale the day or stream a classic on the intelligent TV/DVD. The kitchen opens to a cavernous deck and screened-in porch with sweeping ocean vistas and rolling ocean waves. Any time you choose, soak in the six-person hot tub and revel in the contentment of the bubbling warm water and the sea across the sand. The king master suite offers true respite with a extravagant full bath. Secure your private getaway to SEASHELLA today. Your memories await.

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect vacation rental experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Summertime is the most expensive season in Avon. To book the largest vacation home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at Hatteras restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• In the Hatteras area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental home up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for local tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. Oceanfront, Dog Friendly Cottage w\/ Pool, Hot Tub, and Nearby Beach Boardwalk has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking pages. If not, email the property manager before you reserve the home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what configuration is best for your vacation.
• Are you looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited.

Tips to have a terrific stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your . Put the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.

• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on good ratings to stimulate more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
