Avoid Saturday traffic issues. This is a SUNDAY to SUNDAY rental!

Clean, bright, and comfortable, this is one of the few remaining traditional beach boxes in Hatteras Colony! The lower deck is roomy. The upper deck covers the top 1/2 of the home where you can view the spectacular Atlantic Ocean! Our home is appreciated and well cared for!!

Welcome to 'Our Escape Hatch'. Amply named considering the privacy you'll feel with trees separating you from 'the rest of the world'. This SUNDAY to SUNDAY rental is ideal for a modest family or couples wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of daily living. This home was purchased to relax in and share good times with friends and family.

Our bungalow is the third lot from the ocean!! With direct access, it's only an approximate 200 yard walk to the dune line and beach!

'Our Escape Hatch' is a simple home, but well maintained, appreciated, and handsomely decorated for those just 'wanting to get away'. In our years of ownership, very few bells and whistles have been added - intentionally!! However, in the living room, you can expect a Intelligent TV with cable and a DVD player. Bring your favorite movies or rent them at a near by Red Box. There is a smaller TV in two of the three bedrooms. Wireless Internet is also available. A stereo is there for your CD's or listen to local radio. Ceiling fans are in all three bedrooms, the kitchen, and living room. There is a king bed in one bedroom, a queen bed in another, and a double bed in the third bedroom. This home is meant for relaxation, for beach, and outdoor activity lovers!

Savor the diversity the Outer Banks of North Carolina offers. There is surf fishing (NC license is required) or the Rodanthe Fishing Pier is just a couple of miles away (no license required for pier fishing). There is also charter fishing from Oregon Inlet or Hatteras Village. If water sports are your plans you are in the right place! You may want to climb the famed Hatteras Lighthouse a few miles south of Salvo or horseback ride in close by Buxton. There are nature trails to discover at the Pea Island Welcome Center. End your day with a walk on the beach and a dinner prepared on the charcoal grille. For dessert, bring your flashlight for a moonlight walk on the beach and experience beautiful starlit nights!

On the gentler side, if you want a 'nighttime out', there are many phenomenal eateries close by. Spa Koru offers a work-out facility or pamper yourself with a message, pedicure or manicure - only a short distance away in Avon. Just a 45-min. drive is a complimentary ferry from Hatteras Village to Ocracoke where you can browse through stores filled with local art, appreciate fresh North Carolina seafood on an outdoor deck, or take a family bicycle tour of this cozy fishing village.

You can spend a week or a lifetime on the Outer Banks of North Carolina and never see or experience everything this area offers. Don't forget your want to capture the good times and beauty of what your time here holds.

Strategies for getting the perfect Hatteras vacation home experience:

Get the most from your vacation rental budget:

• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• To get the best value, change your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic.
• Some property managers offer rate reductions for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• 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 grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Choosing and booking your prefect Hatteras vacation home:

• First and foremost, have your group decide on the best dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration you need. Privacy at the Beach has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is usually available online. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before reserving the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a particular Hatteras beach you are crazy about, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.

More considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're away! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
• Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out 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 family have a great vacation? Many rental management companies make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
