SOUNDSIDE Buxton — NC Hwy 12 — Feel complimentary as a bird when you settle into THE ROOST, a five-bedroom/five- and one-half-bath home with nothing between it and a private sound beach except a lush, forested ridge. While the thicket of trees provides loads of privacy, the shallow waters of the sound offer an abundance of possibilities, a welcome getaway for paddleboarders, wind and kite surfers, and families with kids, alike.

Upon arrival, release the dogs (two are welcome) to sniff things out in the fenced-in yard while you make use of the convenient elevator to move groceries and bags to the second level. The ground-level, fish cleaning station with lights and water will be a welcome sight for those who plan to fish. Those looking for a more languid pace will find it in the screened-in tiki bar area with seating, a TV, and a dart board to keep things interesting. You’ll find a private path to the water’s edge and an outdoor shower and foot wash station to keep things tidy when you return. Stairs leading to the first level reveal a 7-person hot tub to soak in the serenity.

Two ensuite master king bedrooms and a bedroom with a full and twin bed with access to a hallway bathroom also occupy the first level. These rooms appreciate close access to a media room featuring a 75” Intelligent 4K TV, puzzles and games, and a minifridge, stand-alone ice machine, and microwave to keep snacks and drinks at the ready.

The final two bedrooms, both ensuite master kings, are located on the second level and offer private upper deck access to catch the sensational sound sunsets. They also offer instant access to the home’s great room, an open communal space that brings everybody together for precious family time. There’s a gorgeous living area with comfortable seating providing ideal sight lines to the 75” Intelligent TV. The cavernous and well-equipped kitchen encourages a group cooking effort to bring your vacation meals to the table, a long eight-seat one, with three more at the breakfast bar. Savor dining outside on the deck as well, where a six-seat table accepts you to savor the feast in front of you, including the one for your eyes as you gaze out onto the sound. As you do, watch the marsh birds come home to roost and be glad you booked THE ROOST so that you’ll have this memory forever.

New for 2024: New great room furnishings. New kitchen refrigerator. New under-home tiki bar area with TV and new seating. New Constructed-to-Last deck chairs on the upper deck.

Strategies to get the best Hatteras rental experience:

Sticking to a spending budget:

• In the Hatteras area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation property up to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• June, July, and August are high season in Buxton. To find the best value, try changing your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Hatteras visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines contain discounts for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.
