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 roomy 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 appreciate 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.

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect rental experience:

Get the most from your budget:

• Summertime is high season in Salvo. To find the best rental within your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Hatteras restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. 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 friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides have discounts for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Make a plan and choose your prefect Hatteras vacation home:

• Begin by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Oceanside Home with Hot Tub, Nearby Beach Access, and Grills. A Retreat for All! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the property manager before you reserve the home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation.
• Are you visiting for a specific event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a terrific stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property. Put the host's information in your smartphone.
• Upon arrival, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific resource to find the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean 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.
• Did you have a great vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
