The Round House is located in an ideal neighborhood setting. Kids can safely ride their bicycles, skateboards or scooters and you can take a nice jog around our sleepy two mile loop.

Also, Salvo has a amazing walking/bicycle path so your can ride bicycles to the day use area or to one of numerous outstanding local eateries.

As for the BEACH....We are only 100 yards from the beach path on the ocean side of the street. No roads to cross. You can hear the waves from our deck!
Other things to note
1. Hurricanes are a possibility. Please understand this when you book your vacation rental. We highly recommend purchasing the travel insurance that is available.

2. We suggest paying for your reservation with an American Express Card. Several American Express Cards will cover the cost of your trip should a Hurricane evacuation become necessary.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Hatteras rental home experience:

Finding the best rental home value:

• In the Hatteras area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your rental up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To find the most suitable rental home for your budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. 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, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Hatteras area magazine upon arrival. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have discounts for local shops and restaurants.

How to pick the perfect rental:

• Select a group leader, choose your vacation week, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. The Retro Round House-Unique Escape by the Sea w\/Hot Tub\n\n has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is almost always accessible on booking websites. If not, email or call the property management company before you book the vacation home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or costs might be applied to your invoice.
• If there's a particular Hatteras beach you long to visit, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.

More considerations:

• Store the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Upon arrival, note any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at departure. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and look for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
