OCEANSIDE Salvo — Park Rd. — In the Hawaiian language, “mahi” means strong, the ideal name for a home to match your deep want for the ideal Hatteras Island hideaway. Bright and colorful like the mighty fish, this four-bedroom/three- and one-half-bath home is just a short walk to the beach, close to prime fishing on the sound, and perched on a lake for some backyard bird watching.

A mahi mural greets you as you pull up and park your cars in the cavernous driveway or under the home. Here you will find a grilling area complete with both gas and charcoal grilles, and a picnic table. Spend the evenings under the nighttime sky next to the lake on the lawn in a comfortable Adirondack chair and reminisce on the day’s events. Make use of the convenient outdoor shower to clean up after a day in the sun, then step inside to a laundry room on the first level. Climb the stairs to the second level and discover the main living area. Bright, airy, and freshly furnished, your family will adore being together as you make new vacation memories with great meals prepped in the gorgeously equipped kitchen, appreciating them around the six-seat dining table or gathering to watch the sizable Intelligent TV. You’ll most certainly be drawn to the adjacent covered deck to soak in the six-person hot tub, savor a casual meal at the picnic table or simply sink into an Adirondack chair to appreciate the vistas. Also on this level is a half-bath and a king master bedroom with ensuite bath with stand-up shower Intelligent TV.

The remaining three bedrooms, all featuring Intelligent TVs, are located on the third level, including two kings, a queen, and a additional area with a bunk bed, all of which share two jack-and-jill baths. Rise and shine with the smell of coffee brewing just outside your bedroom door from the hallway coffee bar featuring a refrigerator to store the creamer. Take your brew out to the upper deck with vistas of both the ocean and sound as you contemplate how to spend the day. While the mahi moves fast, you have no need to rush – simply enjoy the gentle pace. But don’t wait to book your stay, availability at MAHI’S RETREAT won’t last.

New for 2024: New kitchen counters and sink.

Vacation rental tips and tricks:

When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
