The space
This freshly-refreshed 7 bedroom, 5 bath home has an unequaled dune front location, with direct private beach access (shared with one other home). Indulge in striking ocean vistas from any of 3 Sunrise Decks, and gaze over the wetlands to Pamlico Sound beyond from any of 3 private Sunset Balconies or the top level Breakfast Deck.  Prepare a surf-and-turf feast on the Panorama Deck's outdoor kitchen/grille/bar, refresh in the 2nd deck hot tub, relax on the 1st deck hammock, picnic in the enclosed yard, and play on the outdoor volleyball court.

Appreciate your morning coffee while taking in the sunrise over the ocean or observe the eclectic mix of shore birds dip for their own breakfast and take flight . Finish the day with a charming glass of wine, watching the sunset over the Pamlico Sound as the deer and otters make their evening appearance in the wetlands, and colors change in the Atlantic Ocean.

The hours between coffee and moon rise beckon umbrellas and sand castles. Be sure to have a camera handy to capture the memories of your close family and friends, found beach treasures and wildlife including the Cape's famed ghost crabs. Get your dose of Vitamin Sea as you spend an idyllic day on the national seashore collecting shells, taking an invigorating dip in the ocean, savor the surfing, or fishing from Rodanthe pier--just a 5 min. walk down the beach.

Tips to get the best vacation property experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• To find the best rental within budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have discounts for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• To start, have your group commit to trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. \"Get away from the world?\" \"Stunning\" \"Phenomenal\" has 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property manager before reserving the rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what bed configuration is best for your family.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• Do your family pets travel with you? 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 the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or may be applied to your contract.

Tips to have a great stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your family's visit, record any problem areas during arrival. Contact the property manager right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Just before checking out, take a walk-through to make sure you have not leave anything behind. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a fantastic time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
