SOUND SIDE Avon — Kinnakeet Shores — Let nature take its course at SOUND THERAPY and wrap you in the peaceful beauty of Pamlico Sound, home to one of the best kiteboarding and windsurfing spots on the East Coast. With seven decks offering striking vistas and the most grand sunsets you will ever see, this secluded seven-bedroom/seven- and one-half-bath home will send your spirit soaring each nighttime when the sky bursts into a blazing palette of color.

Water sport enthusiasts will appreciate the direct access to a community boardwalk that provides access to the sound for kiteboarding, paddleboarding, windsurfing, or kayaking. Exploring the many trails and boardwalks in the area on a bicycle or by foot will allow you to follow your whims for a beach day at the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Other great activities include fishing, calming at the Kinnakeet Shores pool and tennis facilities, or cycling into town for an ice cream after dinner. But if total relaxation is high on your wish list, SOUND THERAPY fulfills that want with four floors of calming surroundings. On the first level, a natural barrier of maritime trees and marsh grasses protect a pool surrounded by plenty of chaise lounges, 7-person hot tub, picnic table, and an outdoor shower. Apply the sunscreen, press play on your playlist and let the Bluetooth surround system set the mood. Just inside is a game room featuring a pool table, TV, and a kitchenette with constructed-in ice maker. After a day in the brilliant sunshine, settle into a darkened state-of-the-art home theater to stream your favorite movies.

The home features seven bedrooms located on levels one through three and conveniently accessed by an all-floor elevator which not only makes it handicap accessible, but painless to unload suitcases and groceries. On the first level, you will find the game room, a full bath, and a bedroom featuring two pyramid bunk beds, offering the ideal kid lair. Discover four master bedrooms on the second level — two kings and two queens —each with a private ensuite bath, including one that is handicap friendly. Three of the 4 bedrooms on this floor have personal decks to sit and relax on, to appreciate the beauty of nature that surrounds SOUND THERAPY. The laundry room with utility sink is located on this level as well. Savor two more opulent master king rooms on the third floor, each outfitted with a private bath with soaking tub and a personal deck; one which faces the sound and the other looking east to embrace the early morning sun. Also on this floor is a calming library with TV and a sleeper couch offering sweeping vistas of the sound. A slider reveals a sound-facing deck where you can relax with a good book in a comfortable rocking chair or an old-fashioned swing seat as the sun sets below the horizon.

The fourth-floor great room, designed for camaraderie and connection, is where the family magic happens. Tall ceilings, wood floors, and windows that fill the room with light, enhancing an open-concept space. Avid cooks will savor the roomy and well-supplied gourmet kitchen featuring double ovens, microwaves, and dishwashers, along with a four-burner cooktop. Chill your favorite beverages in the wine cooler and enjoy the availability of two pantries to store your groceries. A sizable dining table and bar next to the kitchen provides plenty of space to enjoy your delicious feasts together while watching the beacon from the iconic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. There’s an office for those staying connected to work and a convenient half-bath located on the top level too.

For those who simply want to play, a game table and a 65-inch TV provide the inspiration. Inspiration though, is unavoidable when you venture onto any of the home’s outdoor spaces, especially the cavernous fourth floor deck, enchanting screened-in porch with table and chairs for outdoor dining enjoyment, or the private rooftop crow’s nest outfitted for evening drinks with 6 chairs and tables, ideal for an evening watching the sun set across the Pamlico Sound. Settle into a chair, marvel in the beauty of this striking place, or simply take in a star-filled velvet sky. Book it and you will experience SOUND THERAPY, indeed.

New for 2024: A new second outdoor shower is available for you to have a exhilarating rinse after a day of fun in the sun. New microwave.
New for 2023: All ten Intelligent TVs have been given Roku streaming capability, ideal for streaming the group’s favorite in the great room or for evening relaxation before bed.

Tips and Tricks for getting the best rental home experience:

Sticking to your budget:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Booking your vacation property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Summer is high season in the Hatteras area. To find the largest rental home for your budget, we recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply Hatteras area visitor guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning, selecting, and booking your prefect Hatteras vacation home:

• Choose your vacation dates and max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Sound Side Accessible Home with Private Pool, Hot tub, Game Room & Theater Room has 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking pages. If not, email or call the property management company before you book the property. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is best for your family.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .

Some things to know before you go:

• Get the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the rental manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually 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 shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix 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.
