OCEANFRONT Avon- Private Drive A private drive off of Route 12 brings you to your Hatteras Island Retreat. Park next to the horseshoe pits or in the covered area under the home. On the ground level, accessible by outside entrance only, a game room greets you on the right featuring a pool table, enormous 47” LCD TV, impressive sound system, and simple access to the huge in-ground pool. Of course the game room has a refrigerator, wet-bar, microwave (for those late nighttime popcorn snacks), a couch bed and full bath. Sliding doors provide entry to the Tiki bar and seating area overlooking the pool. Additional comfortable lounge and deck chairs and pool lighting will make this area a focal point of your stay. The saltwater pool provides additional comfort for swimming and other pool activities. In addition, a gas grille, picnic table and a cozy hot tub will regenerate you after a long day of adventuring on the Outer Banks. A full outdoor shower and multiple foot showers are available.

CASABLANCA sits back about 900 feet from the ocean protecting the home and pool but still offering painless access to the beach by way of a walkway and covered overlook. CASABLANCA is walking distance to Avon Fishing Pier, eateries, and shopping.

The mid-level of the home has two king master bedrooms each with their private full bath. They share a common covered balcony overlooking the pool and beach walkway, and a cozy swing that the kids will adore. Three more bedrooms are available on this level, two with bunk beds and the third with queen bed is located next to the full hall bath. All the rooms are equipped with TV/DVD to watch that movie from bed that you discovered in the movie library on the top floor of the home.

An open, airy, roomy feel greets you on the top level with vaulted ceilings. Windows on the front, back and both sides of the home bring in sunny, breezy air. You may just want to turn the A/C off and appreciate the breezes. The top floor breakfast nook can accommodate that late-riser with eggs, bacon, pancakes and juice. Or it can be a place where the kids and adults savor a game that they found in the handy game chest. A huge, well-equipped kitchen will delight any prepare and there is plenty of seating flexibility for the entire group from the sizable dining table, to host memorable dinners, to the handy kitchen bar for sandwiches and snacks. After dinner, kick back in front of the 50” LCD TV and sound system with Netflix (on the Roku) and cable or step out onto the oceanfront balcony overlooking the pool and ocean with constructed-in seating on the sides. A week at CASABLANCA will leave you with a summer full of memories and want for a return visit in the near future! This home does not have a landline.

Finding the best Avon rental home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Reserving your rental 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.
• To get the best value, shift your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Hatteras visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have discounts for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Selecting and booking the right Hatteras vacation home:

• Select dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Oceanfront Dog Friendly Home in Avon- Pool, Hot Tub, Game Rm, Boardwalk to Beach has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. If not, email the property manager before reserving the home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or charges might be applied to your contract.
• If there's a specific Hatteras beach you love, look for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Considerations for your stay:

• Add the owner's phone number to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific source for finding the best local attractions.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent time? Many rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
