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 roomy 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 handsome sound vistas. A gorgeous 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.

Our top Rental booking tips:

Money saving strategies:

• In the Hatteras area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Summer time is high season in the Hatteras area. To find the most suitable rental home within your budget, we highly recommend booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular Hatteras attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area travel guides which often include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Soundfront - Dog Friendly, Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator, Game Room & Theater Room has 9 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is almost always available online. Otherwise, email or call the host before you book your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is optimal for your family.
• Some rentals allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.
• Visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.

• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected everything. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on great feedback to inspire new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience find their best rental home.
