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.

Getting the best rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• Summertime is high season in Avon. Book your Hatteras rental in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have coupons for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Narrow your Search:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your family requires. 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 rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is commonly available on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you book the property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to work out what configuration is best for your vacation family.
• If there's an individual Hatteras beach you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your .
• Make a record of any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental home while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Re-check the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
