SOUND FRONT Buxton — NC HWY 12 — New for 2024! —
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 splendid 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.

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

Tricks and tips for getting the best Hatteras vacation rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• To get the best value, try changing your trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer excellent weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• The sooner you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved very early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have offers and deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to pick the best vacation home:

• Start by choosing your the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Soundfront - Dog Friendly, Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator, Game Room & Theater Room has 9 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you book the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine which bed configuration is right for your vacation.
• Does your group require particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• We recommend storing the owner's information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that no damages are attributed to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas during check in. text the property manager immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, intercom or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many problems.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your vacation home while you're out and about. Protect your property!
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
