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 remodeled 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 roomy 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 impressive beach vistas, the living room features a enormous-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 appreciate the many sides of nature’s beauty, from sunrise to sunset. Navigate your way to your next memorable hideaway by booking STELLA MARIS today.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect rental home experience:

Sticking to a spending plan:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the best value, change your trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many property management companies supply Hatteras area visitor guides which will include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Make a plan and choose the perfect Hatteras rental home:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and choose a 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. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly accessible online. If not, reach out to the property owner before reserving the rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the best rental.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Some rentals allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the owner about pet restrictions before booking.

Know before you go:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your family's visit, make a record of any problem areas upon check in. Speak to the rental manager immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many problems.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on good ratings to inspire new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
