Just inside is a full bath for fast trips in from the beach or pool and the steamy hot tub is just up on the deck overlooking the pool and beach. There are ocean vistas from every level of this home, including the first level, and an elevator takes you and your suitcases from the carport to the great room and each level in between. No need to lug groceries up those stairs! The game room won't disappoint with an air hockey table, comfortable seating area in front of the home theater system with Intelligent TV and BluRay player, and close by kitchenette with full-size refrigerator and microwave.

All bedrooms in the home have private master baths, Intelligent TVs and BluRay players, and all but the bunk room have vistas of the ocean. There are two sets of washers/dryers in the home, one on the bottom level and one on the landing up from the mid-level to meet the laundry needs of your group. The vistas from the great room are impressive with blue water and sea oat covered sand dunes. Unwind on the couches while watching your favorite show on the home theater system with Intelligent TV, surround sound and BluRay player. A wet bar is found next to the entertainment center with mini-refrigerator to keep your beverages cold. Meal prep is a breeze in the well-appointed kitchen with granite countertops and breakfast bar seating for four to supplement the dining table which seats 10. Up one more level is a captains watch with bench seating and windows framing a expansive view of the ocean and sound. There are three levels of oceanfront decks at this home and a soundside deck on the mid-level for watching the pretty colors of the sunset. The first and second level decks are covered and most of the top level deck is open to the sun and the stars.

Vacation rental tips and tricks:

When to visit & When to book:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To book the most suitable rental home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 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 emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Hatteras visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have coupons for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

Selecting and booking your Hatteras rental:

• Select dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Oceanfront Dog Friendly w\/ Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator, Cmty Boardwalk, + Game Room has 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras vacation rental search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If not, email or call the property management company before booking the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.
• Visiting for a single event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents many difficulties.
• Lock your rental while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Make a record of any damages to the property during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if a dispute is filed.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a great source for finding the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all of your things. 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 your family have a great vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
