SOUNDSIDE Avon — Pony Pasture Dr. — Kick off your shoes and settle into BAREFOOT & SALTY, a four-bedroom/three-bathroom home that envelops you in casual modern elegance inside and impressive natural beauty outside. Add the striking surroundings of Kinnakeet Shores and Hatteras Island sunsets that defy description, and the carefree feeling you’ve been seeking magically takes over.

Spend your days exploring Hatteras Island, sunbathing on an ocean beach, or calming by the community pool. When you return, there’s a 6-person hot tub on the deck to entice you into a calming soak and a cavernous outdoor shower to rinse off. Step inside to fix some snacks and drinks in the first-level kitchenette to savor at the outdoor picnic table or in the adjacent den where a pullout couch provides a prime view of a wall-mounted Intelligent TV. The laundry room is also on this level as is a queen bedroom and a full bathroom. The remaining three bedrooms – a master king with ensuite bath, a queen room that shares a hallway bath with a pyramid bunk room – are located on the second level.

You’ll adore the casual sophistication of the second-level great room where tall ceilings, wood floors, and windows that fill the room with natural light enhance an open-concept space. Avid cooks will appreciate the bright and modern kitchen featuring high-end appliances and granite countertops, including a three-stool breakfast counter — the ideal place to enjoy your first coffee of the day. An eight-seat dining table next to the kitchen has plenty of space to enjoy your family meals together. If the enormous wall-mounted Intelligent TV and the comfortable sectional in front of it doesn’t tempt you into a restful reverie, the vistas off the deck scented by salty sea air most certainly will.

Guests of BAREFOOT & SALTY have access to Kinnakeet Shores community amenities including maintained boardwalks to the ocean and sound beaches, a swimming pool and tennis courts, and will appreciate how convenient the home is to Avon’s grocery store, multiple eateries, ice cream stores and more. Booking it is convenient, too. Check for your dates right now!

Our top Rental booking tips and tricks:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Hatteras area. Book your rental home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, rental management companies supply Hatteras area visitors guides that include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to pick the best vacation home in Avon:

• Choose a group leader, select your dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Soundside Home with Hot Tub, Cmty Pool, Tennis Courts, and Nearby Beach Access has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before booking the property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what bed configuration is suitable for your vacation.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property owners charge pet deposits and fees.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Know before you go:

• Store the host's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• Note any damages to the property at check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and attractions you would've never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all of your things. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out 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.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to drive future bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
