OCEANFRONT Salvo — Ocean St. — With a sandy beach and 180-degree vistas to greet you from multiple decks, it’s painless to lean into a languid lifestyle at THE LAZY WHALE. This four-bedroom/two- and one-half-bath home has everything you need to settle in, slow down, and connect to that elusive gentler pace.
There’s no need to part from your four-legged family members ... two dogs are welcome to join you on your family getaway. They’ll appreciate sunbathing themselves alongside you on the oceanfront pool patio that showcases a new private swimming pool, picnic table, charcoal grille, outdoor shower, and a 6-person hot tub ready to deliver a calming respite. Nothing but a natural sand dune separates you from the ocean when you’re ready to build sandcastles and play in the waves.
All of the home’s bedrooms are located on the first level and include a master king with an ensuite bathroom and oceanfront deck access, two queens, and a room with two bunk beds. All of the bedrooms feature new beds and TVs. There is also a full hallway bath and a laundry room on this level. The level above it reveals a warm and welcoming great room, with a half-bath, cathedral ceilings, and a wall of window sliders offering multiple access points to the oceanfront deck. Settle into the comfortable sectional to catch a show on the Intelligent TV or perhaps let the more natural one outside grab your attention instead. Appreciate the gleaming white kitchen thoughtfully supplied with everything you need to prep meals that can be served at the five-stool breakfast counter or eight-seat dining table. Another four-seat table is available for meals but is also ideal for starting a puzzle or accommodating a card game. Looking for a little more active competition? The upstairs ship’s watch offers a game room with a foosball table and electric dart board. This space also features a queen futon couch bed and a slider to a deck with elegant vistas of sunsets over the sound. If THE LAZY WHALE is singing your song, heed the call and book it today.

Our top Hatteras rental property booking tips and tricks:

When to visit Salvo & When to reserve a Hatteras rental home:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking in the Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area visitor guide magazines which will 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 area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Considerations for your stay:

• We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• At departure, take a walk-through to confirm you have not forget any personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. 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 great ratings to propel more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review find their best rental home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
