Start your vacation off with a dip in the private swimming pool and relax poolside as the kids play in the poolside entertainment area. Stroll into the ground level of the home to find an exercise room cardio equipment and TV to keep your workout routine going. Step up to the next level for the appealing game room, sure to entertain the group! Featuring pool table, sizable screen TV and a wet bar with full size refrigerator and microwave, this will be a favorite room in the home. This level is also home to 3 bedrooms; a king master bedroom with private bath, another king bedroom and a bedroom with 2 single beds and a pyramid bunk, both sharing the common bathroom. Stepping up to the next level you will find a den with comfortable seating and flat screen TV. Of the four bedrooms on this level, three are king master bedrooms, each with private baths.

The great room impresses with handsome ocean vistas, vaulted ceilings and opulent décor.

Preparing your meals is a breeze in the gourmet kitchen with high quality appliances including a huge refrigerator, drink center, two dishwashers, two ovens and a 6-burner cooktop. Two large islands provide prep space and additional seating. And once the meal is prepared, there is no better place to appreciate your meal than the dining area with an ocean view from every seat. Cavernous decks off of each level of the home offer the ideal spot to relax in the sun or shade as you listen to the sounds of the island. The top-level deck offers both ocean and sound vistas for calming sunset or sunrise reveries.

Strategies for getting the perfect vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Summer time is high season in the Hatteras area. Booking your Hatteras vacation rental in Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area travel guides which often include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Selecting and booking the best Hatteras rental home:

• Select a group leader, select your vacation week, and select a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Semi-Oceanfront, Dog Friendly w\/ Pool, Hot Tub, EV Charger, Elevator, and More! has 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the host before booking the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what bed configuration is suitable for your trip.
• If there's a certain Hatteras attraction you simply love, keep an eye out for properties that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Traveling with pets? 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. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or charges applied to your contract.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if a dispute arises.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are an excellent resource to find the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental property while you are out! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from 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.
• Did you have a excellent vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property manager was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong 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.
