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 relaxing 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 handsome vistas of sunsets over the sound. If THE LAZY WHALE is singing your song, heed the call and book it today.

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Hatteras vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many management companies supply Hatteras area travel guide magazines which include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Planning, picking, and booking the rightrental:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and choose a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. Oceanfront Dog Friendly Home in Salvo with Private Pool, Hot Tub, and Game Room has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before reserving the rental. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to determine what configuration is suitable for your group.
• If there's a certain Hatteras attraction you are enamored with, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• Some rentals allow pets, but some don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the owner about your furry family members before booking.

Tips to have a terrific stay:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental home. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if there is a dispute.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are gone! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Just before checking out, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
