The Tip Sea Mermaid is a entirely refreshed beach home in Salvo located on a corner lot just 200 feet from the shining Atlantic Ocean.

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 effortlessly transport your coolers, toys and gear for a full day of sun, sand and surf. Inside, this classic bungalow has been completely modernized and furnished with beach-lovers in mind. Upgrades include a brand new kitchen with quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, an updated 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 enormous 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 supplied at no additional charge, and the beds will be made with fresh sheets and pillowcases prior to your arrival.

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 fashionable Watermen's Bar & Grille. Slightly farther north you'll find even more dining and shopping options in the town of Rodanthe.

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

Getting the best rental value:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Hatteras area. To get the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer pleasant weather, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides have money saving offers on local restaurants, attractions, and tours.
