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 enormous 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 adore 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, kitchenette, 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-outfitted kitchen inspires the chefs among you to whip up special vacation meals, all of which can be appreciated — 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.

Tips and Tricks to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your rental home in the Fall or Spring to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby shops and restaurants.

Filter your search:

• Choose your dates and max budget.
• Note the number beds and the bed configuration you need. 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 search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available on booking websites. If not, reach out to the property manager before booking the rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds.
• Visiting for a specific event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or charges could be applied to your agreement.

More tips for your visit:

• Add the host's information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Document any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent a lot of problems.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on good ratings to stimulate more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
