SOUNDSIDE Avon — Tarpon Dr. — New for 2024! — 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 adore 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 gorgeously 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 to get the best Hatteras rental home experience:

Getting the best value:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your Hatteras vacation in Spring or Fall to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies supply Hatteras area travel guide magazines that include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Soundside Avon - Dog Friendly, Private Swimming Pool, Hot Tub has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available online. If not, call the property owner before reserving the property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Are you looking for specific amenities? Most websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Advice for your stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Lock your rental property while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your peace. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
