OCEANFRONT Avon – Since ancient times, mariners have relied on the steadfast Stella Maris — the North Star — to guide them on their seafaring journeys. In much the same way, STELLA MARIS, a five-bedroom/four-bath home perched on the ocean’s edge, is a beacon for the relaxing hideaway you seek. This freshly modernized home uniquely blends a local sense of place with a cool modern design that instantly envelopes you in comfort and contentment. On the ground level, there is room to park two cars underneath the home so that they are protected from the elements. Avid anglers will note the fish cleaning station with water and lights, a new private outdoor shower, and a gas grille. A set of steps up to the first level leads you to four of the bedrooms: A king bedroom with an ensuite bath and oceanfront deck access; two queens and a pyramid bunk with trundle. All of the home’s bedrooms with the exception of one queen features Roku streaming TVs. Two hallway baths with tiled showers conveniently accommodate the post-beach rush. A six-person hot tub located on the oceanfront deck is covered to accommodate relaxing soaks with stellar vistas no matter the weather. On the upper level, another king master suite reveals a refreshed ensuite bath and deck access. It’s what is outside of this private space, though, that will capture your imagination: a modern great room where soaring ceilings, sky-high windows and industrial-chic décor bring your family together with an undeniably cool vibe. A cavernous kitchen with granite countertops, stainless appliances and a useful breakfast bar makes vacation-style cooking a enjoyment. Savor those meals at a long 10-seat dining table or just outside at a picnic table on the deck. If a TV program compels you to turn away from the handsome beach vistas, the living room features a huge-screen Roku-enabled LCD TV that can be viewed from an broad sectional couch. Yet, if you can’t get enough of those vistas, decks on both the ocean and western-facing sides of the home invite you to savor the many sides of nature’s beauty, from sunrise to sunset. Navigate your way to your next memorable hideaway by booking STELLA MARIS today.

Strategies for getting the perfect rental home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• To find the best value, consider shifting your family's Hatteras vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Many management companies supply Hatteras area visitors guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Oceanfront Home with Hot Tub, Grill, and Stellar Ocean Views has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible on booking pages. If not, contact the property owner before booking the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• Some rental properties allow pets, and others do not. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional costs may apply. Ask the property manager about pet restrictions before booking.

Know before you go:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone.
• During arrival, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers bothering your peace and quiet. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent reviews to drive new bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
