The Tip Sea Mermaid is a completely remodeled beach home in Salvo located on a corner lot just 200 feet from the shining Atlantic Ocean. While the interior of this oceanside getaway is top-notch, it's the outdoor areas that will really make your next vacation one for the books. From the multiple decks and hot tub to the cavernous backyard with fire pit, there are plenty of opportunities for spending quality time with family and friends. Parlor in the sun and savor an ocean view from the broad rooftop observation deck, or relax in the shade with a good book on the screened-in porch. Either way, you'll feel the invigorating salty breezes and hear the sound of crashing waves. When it's time to hit the beach, use the Quay Street public access located just a three-min. walk from the home. Load up the beach cart to conveniently transport your coolers, toys and gear for a full day of sun, sand and surf. Inside, this classic bungalow has been completely refreshed and furnished with beach-lovers in mind. Upgrades include a brand new kitchen with quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, an refreshed primary bath with bespoke tile work, and LVP floor that runs throughout the entire home. Thoughtful design choices like shiplap walls, fun accent colors and coastal-themed wallpaper all tie together for that modern beach home vibe. Outside, a huge fenced-in backyard is ideal for cookouts and yard games. In the evenings, gather the family around the fire pit to plan the next day's adventures, or relax with a calming soak in the hot tub before heading off to bed. Bed and bath linens are always included at no additional charge, and the beds will be made with fresh sheets and pillowcases prior to your arrival. The Tip Sea Mermaid is located in Hatteras Colony on the northern end of Salvo, where the pristine beaches are wide and uncrowded. While the location is ideal for guests looking for a remote and natural setting, it's still within a mile radius from watersports, surf stores, a market and deli, take-out options, ice cream and the trendy Watermen's Bar & Grille. Slightly farther north you'll find even more dining and shopping options in the town of Rodanthe. Be sure to set aside a day for a trip to Cape Hatteras, where you can climb the lighthouse, go driving on the beach, or hop on a ferry to Ocracoke. No family pets allowed. No smoking/vaping.

Tips and Tricks for getting the best rental home experience:
How to get the best rental value:
- Reserve your rental in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
- In the Hatteras area, The earlier you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are booked very early. Booking your rental property up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
- Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
- Property management companies usually offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
- Many rental management companies supply Hatteras area travel guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.
Choosing the perfect rental in Salvo:
- Choose a group leader, choose your dates, and select a budget.
- Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. The Tip Sea Mermaid: Hot Tub
- Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is normally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, call the property manager before booking the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches.
- Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
- Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
- Are you bringing the family pet? 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! Extra fees or charges may be applied to your agreement.
More tips for your visit:
- Add the property manager's contact info to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
- Document any issues with the property 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.
- Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of problems.
- Respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules is the right thing to do.
- Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
- Lock your rental while you're out. Protect your property!
- Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at departure. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
- Record a video to document the condition of the property.
- Did your group have a excellent stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
