SOUNDFRONT AVON – Portside Drive – Located on one of the best private kite beaches in Kinnakeet Shores, TWINTIP, a 3,400-sq.-ft. home is both serene and exhilarating. Wind-seekers can launch a kite or windsurf right from the sandy area behind the home. On windless days, kayakers and stand-up paddleboarders will appreciate the Pamlico sound. Cavernous and intimate, this six-bedroom, six full and one half-bathroom home is ideal for groups of friends or multi-generational families with kids. The gentle waters of the sound, private sandy beach, and 24-foot pool constitute the ultimate playground.

Indoors, the first level offers a roomy game room with a pool table, kitchenette, and laundry room. The first level bedroom is equipped with two bunk beds and a shared full bathroom. On the second level, four ensuite bedrooms each have a TV and direct deck access. The six-person hot tub is a magnet at the end of the day as the sun sets over the sound. A fifth bedroom on this level features a queen size bed and access to the deck and hot tub.

On the light-filled third level, you will gather in the home’s great room, kitchen, and dining area to renew connections and savor convivial conversation. Take in the sound vistas from floor-to-ceiling windows as you create memorable meals in a cavernous kitchen featuring a breakfast island and brand-new stainless appliances. The deck features impressive vistas of the sound, sunsets, and wildlife. The main bedroom with ensuite bathroom offers both sunrise and sunset vistas. A comfortable reading nook above the great room offers a working space and gorgeous vistas east and west.

TwinTip is a short drive from an striking supermarket and public beach access. The Kinnakeet Shores community also enjoys two tennis courts and a 50 meter Olympic-sized pool.

There’s much to discover here in the Outer Banks including the Cape Hatteras lighthouse and "Canadian Hole," one of the world's best kiting/windsurfing spots. A week at TWINTIP will create memories forever.

Tips to get the perfect Hatteras rental experience:

Get the best value:

• The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Booking your rental home up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
• Summer is the most expensive season in Avon. To book the most suitable rental within budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Hatteras area magazine when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain coupons for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Selecting and booking the perfect Hatteras rental:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Sound Front Dog Friendly House with Windsurfing Access, Pool, Hot Tub, Game Room has 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras vacation rental search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email the host before booking your home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what configuration is right for your vacation group.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or costs could be applied to your agreement.
• Does your family require unique amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-in, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the host. Record all coorespondence.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective 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.
