Two outdoor showers, a half bath, and a fish-cleaning table are all conveniently located next to the driveway and water access. (note in colder months the outdoor showers and bathroom are winterized). NEWLY ADDED - a boat slip is available for your use! Just purchased it for our own private use & for that of our guests. The channel is shallow and needs to be dredged so that is next on our list - it is very sandy and clear though!

Cooking is a joy in the cavernous, well-equipped kitchen featuring a six-burner gas cooktop, a enormous refrigerator, two dishwashers, and a additional under-counter refrigerator. There is a keurig coffee maker, breville espresso machine and also a regular coffee maker. The huge center prep island is the ideal place to gather with family and friends and is open to the dining area which has spectacular vistas of the Pamlico Sound. Unwind and watch the sunset on the roomy deck or from the picnic table on the screened porch. The fifth bedroom opens to a waterfront deck. Head up the steps to the observation tower with a view of the lighthouse to read or nap on the cozy daybed.

Rental property booking tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies supply Hatteras area visitors guides which include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the best rental home in the Hatteras area:

• Choose dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Positive Latitude OBX - VIEWS, Waterfront, elevator, all en suites has 5 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rentals search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the host before booking the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what is best for your trip.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about pet restrictions before booking.
• Are you looking for particular amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the property manager's contact info to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• During check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your life at home. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to confirm you did not forget any personal items. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager is not available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
