SOUNDSIDE Avon – Kinnakeet Shores – When the native white ibis finds a hospitable place to nest, the prized bird must be on to something. For human visitors, KINNAKEET IBIS is that place. It is surrounded by the sound’s wetlands, where nature and exercise trails weave throughout the neighborhood. It offers painless access to the Pamlico Sound for canoeing, kayaking, crabbing, and fishing. It sits two streets away from the ocean. There’s a community lake, pool and tennis courts that are comfortably accessible. Finest of all, the six-bedroom/five-bath home emanates a warm sense of home that makes it naturally simple to settle in and let vacation take over.

On the ground level, savor a private pool and patio with both ample shade and sun to position an Adirondack chair for max. relaxation. A new 6-person hot tub offers a calming respite, whenever you need it. A game room featuring a pool table, foosball table and sizable 50-inch Intelligent TV with Blu-ray pulls the action inside where you can make use of the refrigerator to store some snacks and drinks. A laundry room, full bath with a tub/shower and bedroom with a full bed completes this level.

Four bright and roomy bedrooms occupy the second level. Two queen bedrooms offer calming lake vistas from private deck access. One features a private bath and a 32-inch Intelligent TV. The other also has a 32-inch Intelligent TV and shares a full bath with a bedroom offering two singles with a 32-inch TV/Blue-ray player. The final bedroom on this level is a king featuring private deck access, a 43-inch Intelligent TV and a full bath with tub/shower and a double-sink vanity.

The final ensuite king bedroom with private bath and deck access is located on the top level, as is a comfortable great room that has everything a family needs to relax and embrace the coastal vibe. Contemporary seating gives everybody a great view of the Intelligent TV or pick a book from the many titles in the bookcase and settle into a chair for a good read. The elegantly equipped kitchen makes vacation cooking a dream. Appreciate the choice to serve up your meals at the four-stool breakfast island, eight-seat dining table or at the picnic table on the adjacent deck. You’ll find yourself drawn to that wide, furnished deck — and the crow’s nest perch above it — rather often: the vistas of the lake, ocean and pool are undeniably special.

Our top Hatteras rental booking tips:

Finding the best rental value:

• Summertime is high season in Avon. To get the best value, try shifting your vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, , and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Hatteras area visitors guide magazines which will include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• If there's an individual Hatteras beach you are enamored with, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or charges applied to your invoice.

During your stay:

• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by keeping the rental locked up while you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
