The home is dog-friendly and your pet will appreciate the huge, grassy lot to play like a pup. On the ground level, an outdoor shower provides a convenient option to clean up from your day and a fish cleaning table will delight the angler who scores the evening’s dinner from Rodanthe’s famed fishing pier. Appreciate one-level living that offers plenty of private space along with room to savor each other’s company. There’s a queen master bedroom with an ensuite bath and walk-in shower. Another queen bedroom and a room with a bunk and a single bed share a full hallway bath. All of the rooms feature Intelligent TVs. Just off these rooms is the great room, where a cathedral ceiling turns a comfortable space into a family focal point. A well-equipped kitchen features stainless appliances and tons of counter space to prep your meals, along with a separate wine refrigerator to keep your beverages ideally chilled. There’s a gas grille on the outdoor deck that also features a picnic table for alfresco dining, or conveniently serve from grille-to-dining table that seats six inside. Savor evenings settling into comfortable couches (one a sleeper couch) for game nighttime or to stream your favorite shows on the Intelligent TV. Enjoy Pamlico Sound breezes from the roomy and furnished screened-in porch or gather together on the worry-complimentary deck, complete with a gate.

Strategies for getting the perfect vacation property experience:

Sticking to a budget:

  • Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. To find the best value, consider shifting your family's Hatteras vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
  • In the Hatteras area, The earlier your group can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
  • Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
  • Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
  • Look for your local Hatteras visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain coupons for local tours and attractions.

Selecting the perfect rental:

  • Choose a designated group leader, choose your vacation dates, and select a spending budget.
  • Note the number beds and the bed configuration your group needs. Soundside Dog Friendly House with Screened-In Porch with Nearby Beach Access has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
  • Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the host before reserving your home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to work out what configuration is right for your family.
  • Looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
  • Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
  • Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your host before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or applied to your agreement.

During your stay:

  • Add the property manager's information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
  • At Check-in, record any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all coorespondence.
  • Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents quite a few concerns.
  • Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
  • Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
  • Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are gone, just like you would at home.
  • Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out 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 your group have a wonderful stay? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or property management company was fantastic, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
