SOUND FRONT Buxton — NC HWY 12 — That dream of gathering your extended family or closest friends for a hideaway that forges forever memories? It’s time. In fact, it’s ISLAND TIME PARADISE, an eight-bedroom/eight- and three-half-bath home that provides the ultimate Hatteras Island getaway to bring all your favorite people together.

Standing sentry over a private soundfront beach, this cavernous home has everything you need to appreciate the gentle pace of soundfront living in opulent style. While the call of the sound to launch a kayak or windsurf could be strong, the pull of the private pool may win out. Choose a poolside chaise under sun or shade — there’s plenty of both — or opt for the deck revealing pristine sound vistas. Practice your game on the adjoining putting green, breaking for a soak in the new 7-person hot tub to keep those muscles loose. Refreshment is as close as the adjacent tiki bar, lined with stools to keep the banter as lively as the music you can pipe through the poolside speakers. Move the reverie inside to the game room, a haven for all ages to play pool, foosball or 60 classic arcade games. Grab a cold drink from the drink refrigerator in the kitchenette, fill it with ice from the ice maker and turn on the Intelligent TV. Too sedentary? An exercise room on this level gets you moving again on a recumbent NordicTrack® bicycle. Also on this level are three sumptuous king master bedrooms. All of the home’s bedrooms feature ensuite baths and Intelligent TVs.

The home is equipped with an elevator, easing movement between floors. You’ll find two more king master bedrooms on the second level, along with a handicap-friendly queen master featuring a day bed and private ensuite bathroom, and a bunk room featuring two pyramid bunk beds. Retire to the media room to channel-surf the 58-inch Intelligent TV or break out the cards at a multi-use game table. If it feels like a movie nighttime, the theater room with 12 plush reclining seats and a 120-inch projection screen will reel you into cinematic magic.

The home’s final bedroom, a king master, is on the top level, along with the majestic great room where walls of windows reveal beautiful sound vistas. A striking chef’s kitchen featuring a gas burner prepare top, dual ovens, 2 dishwashers and ice machine is a delight to prep those big family meals. With a kitchen counter that seats five and a 14-seat dining table, gather everybody together and create those moments that become the memories of family legend. Settle into plush leather seating to stream your favorite shows on the great room’s 58-inch Intelligent TV or even better, catch the spectacular vistas of the brilliantly hued sunsets that signal the end of each day from a loft nook or the home’s wide, broad decks.

ISLAND TIME PARADISE welcomes two dogs to keep their families company. There’s no time like now to book and discover your heaven found.

Tips and Tricks to get the very best vacation property experience:

When to visit & When to reserve a rental home:

• Summer months are the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking in Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation property six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Look for your local Hatteras visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain money saving offers on local tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Choose vacation dates and max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group needs. Soundfront - Dog Friendly, Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator, Game Room & Theater Room has 9 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before reserving the rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• If there's a specific Hatteras beach you simply love, browse homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge additional pet fees.

More considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• To make sure no damages are linked to your stay, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. Get in touch with the property manager immediately to record any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would back home.
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not leave anything behind. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property one final time and scan for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take photographs of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a wonderful vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
