SEMI-OCEANFRONT Avon – Ocean View Dr. – For that sand between your toes feeling you’ve been dreaming about since last summer; THE SANDY HOME is ready to turn those reveries into your summer reality. Located just a short walk to the beach, this six-bedroom/four-full and one-half-bath home is ideal for sizable multi-generational families, especially when an accessible ramp and elevator provides everybody seamless access to all levels.

Pack a basketball and some horseshoes! You’ll be sizing up the basketball hoop, horseshoe pit, and the competition as you unload your car from the huge concrete parking area. If you’ve brought along your furry family members, you’ll appreciate the dog-washing station with hot and cold water. There are two outdoor showers for the humans, too, ideal for cleaning up after a day at the beach or cooling down from a soak in the 6-person hot tub. A private swimming pool offers a super beach alternative, especially when lounge chairs offer the ideal place for an afternoon nap. Later, trade the pool lounge for a pool cue in the ground level game room, which also features an entertainment center with a TV, DVD player, full-size refrigerator, and a half bath.

Discover four of the home’s bedrooms on the first level. A king bedroom and a bedroom with two singles share a jack-and-jill bath, while a second king and another bedroom with two singles share a full bath with hallway access. There is an additional full bath on this level, as well as a laundry closet. Direct access to two decks that span this level, one deck offers ocean vistas from the two-person swing or hammock and the other deck offers a screened-in porch, ideal for a peaceful sanctuary. The remaining two bedrooms, a master king with ensuite bath and a queen with access to a full hall bath are located on the second level.

The main living area, located on the second level, is where the vacation memories accrue as your family comes together for meals, game nights, and late-into-the-nighttime conversations. A well-supplied kitchen inspires the chefs among you to whip up special vacation meals, all of which can be adored — accompanied by ocean vistas — at the four-seat breakfast bar and two dining tables that accommodate 12. A 65” Intelligent TV draws everybody into the great room for calming TV watching while the top-level deck, complete with 12 Polywood® deck chairs and tables, may prove to be a bigger draw when the moon rises and the stars come out to play.

Strategies to get the perfect Hatteras vacation property experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in Avon. To find the best value, change your family's Hatteras vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Hatteras area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines have money saving offers on local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Selecting the perfect rental home:

• To start, have your group agree to date ranges and a budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Semi-Oceanfront Avon - Dog Friendly, Elevator, Private Pool, Hot Tub has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before you reserve the property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a specific Hatteras destination you are crazy about, search for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

During your stay:

• Add the host's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent many concerns.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are out, just like you would at home.
• During check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like obnoxious visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to compel more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
