OCEANFRONT Waves - Thalassa Ave - There is no reason to draw a line in the sand when choosing a resort home for your family’s next beach vacation. That is because LAUGHING GULL LANDING requires no compromise — everything you want in a restorative getaway is here. With pops of blue evoking sea and sky, this five-bedroom, three full, one half bath, one outdoor half bath home offers a harmonious sense of place that invites you to relax, play and entertain both inside and out. Although the beach beckons just a few steps away, the freshly reimagined pool area is a magnet for the whole family, drawing everybody together to swim in the sizable saltwater pool, chill in a chaise lounge chair, soothe tired bodies in the six-person hot tub, or take a exhilarating outdoor shower. Make a toast to togetherness with your favorite frozen beverages prepared in the blender at the poolside Tiki bar. A newly added half-bath is located just off the new lounge area for added convenience. On the first floor of the home, you will find four bedrooms: one with two sets of bunk beds that shares a bath with a queen bedroom; another with two twin beds that shares a Jack-and-Jill bath with a queen bedroom.

Want to feel the sea breeze on your face? The first level deck obliges with comfortable seating to sit back, watch for dolphins and dream. You will quickly realize that no art can compete with the gorgeous ocean view that greets you from the great room’s floor-to-ceiling windows on the top level. Perhaps the view will inspire you to prepare a fresh catch-of-the-day feast in the open and airy kitchen, complete with a four-stool breakfast bar. Share it with your family around the 10/12 seat dining table, an oceanfront space that flows conveniently into the living area. Also on this level is a convenient half bath and a queen master bedroom suite with ocean vistas and access to the sun deck that runs the length of the home. Step outside the sliders and savor an countless panorama that reminds you how infinite contentment can be. Book LAUGHING GULL LANDING and find out for yourself.

Hatteras vacation rental tips and tricks:

Get the best value:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Waves. To get the best value, change your vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites often offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area travel guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and picking the perfect Hatteras vacation home:

• Start by choosing vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Oceanfront Home with Saltwater Pool, Hot Tub, and Tiki Bar has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rental home search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is regularly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, call the property management company before booking the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or costs applied to your contract.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Advice for a great stay:

• Add the host's phone number to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many problems.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Document any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable 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.
