OCEANFRONT Hatteras — Lighthouse Ct. — It’s time to feel good when you live out your vacation dreams at WALKIN’ ON SUNSHINE – HATTERAS, a impressive seven-bedroom/seven-full and three-half-bath home perched on the ocean’s edge. Only grassy dunes separate you from the sun-dappled surf, a vision that teases you from every window and leaves an imprint on your memory long after you leave.

Imagine bringing multiple generations of your family together in this cavernous home, thoughtfully designed with accessible-friendly features like an all-floor elevator and a roll-in shower. You’ll begin to unload your cares as soon as you unload your car in the dry-entry carport and take stock of the home’s enviable amenities. A semi-private boardwalk will have you walkin’ on sunshine to the beach, although the fenced-in private pool may edge out the surf for the first dip in the water. Here, there are plenty of loungers to settle in for a poolside nap, two outdoor showers, and a fish cleaning station with water and lights that will delight the avid anglers among you. Take a break from the sun — but not the fun — in the ground-level game room, complete with a pool table, foosball table, arcade console with Nickelodeon games, shuttle bowling, and TV, as well as a sleeper couch and wet bar with microwave and full-size refrigerator. Keep an eye on the poolside action from a slider that opens onto an broad covered deck that also reveals an 8-person hot tub. There is a half-bath just off the game room.

Three of the home’s ensuite bedrooms are also on this level: a king master featuring dual vanities, a shower, and jetted tub, and a queen master with an accessible-friendly shower both feature TVs and access to the covered deck. A third bedroom offers a set of double-over-double bunk beds, a single bunk, and a TV, making it the ideal kid zone. Three more bedrooms, all with TVs, occupy the first level, including two king master bedrooms and another ensuite bedroom with a double-over-double bunk set with a trundle. Also on this level is a half-bath, laundry facilities and an entertainment area featuring a 65-inch TV and a sizable sectional couch so everybody can appreciate movie nights together. Sliders from this space open onto a deck where a whole other set of stars put on an Oscar-worthy show.

The final bedroom, a king master, offers a opulent bath with dual vanities, shower, and a jetted tub, as well as access to an ocean view sundeck. This extravagant escape is just steps from the great room, where an airy open layout brings everybody together for those indelible vacation moments. A pretty kitchen featuring two ovens, two sinks, dual microwaves, dual dishwashers, a enormous refrigerator, stand-alone ice maker, wine cooler, granite countertops, and breakfast bar seating for eight will impress those who appreciate to prepare and entertain. Savor the fruits of the chef’s labor in a dining room that accommodates 24. Fill the evening out by choosing from the library of 300 DVDs to watch on the TV, games and conversation in the great room or out on the covered porch where two porch swings rock you into blissful contentment. Watching the moon rise will remind you why booking WALKIN’ ON SUNSHINE – HATTERAS was the best decision you ever made.

Tips to get the perfect Hatteras vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Hatteras area travel guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Start by selecting trip dates and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Oceanfront Hatteras - Private Swimming Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator, Game Room has 8 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property management company before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what configuration is best for your family.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.

During your stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Record any issues with the property at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to stimulate new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
