The private swimming pool welcomes you to your vacation with attached kiddie pool, well-furnished deck with picnic table, and grilles close by. Get to and from the beach comfortably on the boardwalk next to the home, and rinse off at the end of the day in the outdoor shower and convenient foot wash. 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 bags 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. A dining table accommodates afternoon snacking or rainy day board games. A bedroom with 2 sets of bunk beds is found on this level for the kids, while four more bedrooms (queen, queen, queen, king) are located on the mid-level. 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. There is a covered portion of the top deck just outside the slider from the dining area, where you can dine oceanfront undercover at the table and chair set.

Our top Rental home tips:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Summer time is high season in the Hatteras area. To find the best rental home within budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Hatteras restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property management companies often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Hatteras area visitors guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Selecting the best vacation home:

• First, have your group agree to a vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Oceanfront Dog Friendly w\/ Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator, Cmty Boardwalk, + Game Room has 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what configuration is best for your group.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is bringing pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Document any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if there is a dispute.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your home life. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
