SOUNDSIDE Avon — Tarpon Dr. — Conjure up the magic of your own childhood beach vacation memories at SANDY KEEKS, a three-bedroom/three-full and one-half bath home offering up a unique layout that can adeptly host two families with plenty of space for all. A prime neighborhood location between the ocean and sound provides plenty of options to fill your days; your only decision is which direction will be calling you first.

Both your kids and furry dog friends will appreciate the fenced-in backyard for fun and games. You’ll appreciate the shaded lower-level high-top tables and chairs to keep an eye on the action happening in the brand-new saltwater swimming pool and 6-person hot tub. A half-bath and outdoor shower are conveniently close by, and a washer/dryer is located on the ground level as well. Climb the stairs to the first level and discover a screened-in porch, a nostalgic harbinger of what you’ll find inside — a wood-beamed ceiling that inspires a camp-like ambiance. Make no mistake though, the completely refreshed kitchen with all new appliances, granite countertops, and soft-close cabinets is a modern delight for prepping meals. So is the huge Intelligent TV, providing the ability to stream your favorite show in the comfort of a generously furnished great room. The adults in your group may want to claim this space as their own as two master bedrooms — an ensuite king and ensuite queen — occupy this level as well.

If the adults claim their space, so too should the kids, and the upper level provides the ideal hangout. Just up the spiral staircase is another TV, living area, and modest kitchen with a snack-worthy refrigerator, sink, and microwave. There’s also another queen bedroom and a kid’s nook featuring a pyramid bunk that shares a full bath. Both levels offer freshly furnished decks to savor the sunshine on the upper level or the shade below. Does Sandy Keeks bring back memories? Create new ones by booking it today.

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

Cost saving strategies:

• Summertime is high season in Avon. To book the largest rental home within budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many management companies supply Hatteras area visitor guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and pick a perfectrental home:

• Start by selecting trip dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Soundside Avon - Dog Friendly, Private Swimming Pool, Hot Tub has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available online. If they are not listed, email or call the property manager before you book the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine which bed configuration is right for your vacation family.
• If there's an individual Hatteras beach you are enamored with, search for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is bringing pets, you must book a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers charge additional pet fees.

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Make a record of any issues with the property during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few problems.
• Be respectful. Often, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a wonderful vacation? Most rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
