OCEANFRONT Avon – Kinnakeet Shores – While the wild, natural beauty of Hatteras Island inspires the imagination, THE SANDLOT enthralls it, with its effortless ability to create family memories that linger long after you leave. Perched on the edge of a pristine Atlantic beach, this enchanting six-bedroom/five-and two-half-bath home offers an handsome escape from your everyday life — as it should — when your idea of a dream vacation is to relax with those you appreciate.

Upon arrival, unload the car into the convenient all-level elevator and plot your first foray by the private oceanfront pool. Perhaps you’ll make your way to the beach, knowing that when you return, there are three outdoor showers, two of which are heated, that are going to feel fabulously invigorating. Inside on the ground level discover a home theater where you can settle into comfortable seating for 15 and stream your family’s favorite movies on the Intelligent projection system with surround sound. A bar area and half-bath are conveniently close by. Also on this level is a master queen bedroom with an ensuite bath featuring a shower/tub and a slider out to the deck.

Along with a four-person hot tub located under cover and protected from the elements on the deck, four more bedrooms occupy the second level. There are two master bedrooms: one with an accessible bathroom featuring a roll-in shower; another with a roomy shower featuring a rain showerhead and tiled bench. The other two bedrooms are a bunk room with two sets of bunk beds and a room with a queen bed that are connected by a Jack-and-Jill full bathroom.

All the home’s bedrooms feature Intelligent TVs and private deck access. The final bedroom, a master king suite featuring arched ceilings and impressive crown molding lighting, is located on the third level and offers a extravagant tile shower with multiple shower heads. Steps away is a newly furnished great room, a magnificently open space accented with wood floors, ceiling fans, and a 65-inch TV perched over a gas fireplace. The third level also offers excellent vistas of a pristine beachfront from 12 ocean-facing windows or step out directly onto the balcony to take in the sunset vistas over the sound that are destined to leave a memorable imprint. The massive gourmet chef’s kitchen will elicit happy sighs with double wall ovens, two dishwashers, a wine cooler, an over-sized refrigerator, constructed-in undercabinet ice maker and plentiful counter space for preparing and sharing the day’s meals. Along with counter seating for six, two adjacent dining areas — a 10-seat bespoke dining table, and an additional dining nook with four chairs — can accommodate 20 for a family feast.

Step outside onto the deck where there’s a gas grille and cozy furnishings to settle in for an alfresco meal, quality time with a good book, or a sun-soaked nap. Toast the end to a ideal day knowing that tomorrow brings the possibility of so much more. Guests of THE SANDLOT have access to Kinnakeet Shores pool and tennis facilities. Yet, if it’s the sandy beach calling your name, then THE SANDLOT is where you need to be. Book it today. (Gas fireplace not available for guest use.)

Tricks and tips to get the optimal Hatteras rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• To find the best value, shift your family's Hatteras trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer warmer weather, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

How to pick the perfect vacation rental:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation week, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Oceanfront Handicap Friendly Home with Pool, Elevator, Hot Tub, and Theater Room has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before booking your rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but some do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the host about pets before booking.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few concerns.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• 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 good feedback to drive more reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best rental home. 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 reasonably to solve it.
