OCEANFRONT Avon — Ocean View Drive — Along with your bags, pack you sense of adventure, your joy for discovery and your want to go with the flow when you head to LIVIN THE DREAM, a elegant 5,000-square-foot, seven-bedroom/five-full and one-half-bath home located less than two miles from the iconic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. Here, life is indeed sizable, with everything you could want to turn your vacation into the next memorable chapter of your family’s story.

Pull up to the home set back from the road and note the enormous grassy area where your welcomed family dog can shake out the zoomies. There’s a volleyball net and ping pong table here, too, to inspire some familial competition. On the ocean side of the home is a private saltwater pool and a five-person hot tub that provide idyllic options for relaxation. An outdoor shower and separate half-bath by the pool are two amenities you’ll determine are a well-worth-it convenience. Step inside and discover a game room featuring a pool table, air hockey table, arcade video game, and a 65-inch Intelligent TV. Store some beverages in the full-size refrigerator in the adjacent wet bar and let the fun begin. Also, on this level are two of the home’s bedrooms: one with a pyramid bunk and another with two single beds that share a full hallway bathroom.

An all-floor elevator brings you to the next level where there are four more bedrooms - 1 king and 3 queens. Two are masters with private ensuite baths and oceanfront deck access and two share a full hallway bath. There’s also an oceanfront sitting room on this level that can serve as a vacation home office, a peaceful space to read or watch TV or burn a few calories on a new Peloton® Bicycle. The home’s final bedroom, a king master with a private ensuite bath and deck access, is located on the top level right next to the hub of the home. Here, leather couches offer prime sightlines to the great room’s entertainment center housing a 65-inch Intelligent TV and sound bar. A huge 10-seat dining table occupies prime real estate right in front of the deck sliders, accepting pretty vistas to accompany your meals. You’ll adore preparing those meals in the cavernous and well-equipped kitchen featuring a granite island, four-stool breakfast counter, gas range with a grille, and a convection oven. Bring your crew to LIVIN THE DREAM and discover how much you needed this.

Tricks and tips for getting the best Hatteras rental experience:

How to get the best value:

• The sooner you can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Avon. Reserve your rental home in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Many management companies supply Hatteras area visitors guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Filter your search:

• Choose a group leader, choose your dates, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Oceanfront - Dog Friendly 7 Bedroom w\/ Pool, Hot Tub Elevator, and Game Room has 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally available online. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before you book the home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges applied to your contract.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

Additional considerations:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental.
• Hosts are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental while you are away. Keep your property safe!
• During check-in, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean 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.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
