Pet Fee
We enjoy bringing our two dogs, Max and Daisy, with us on vacation with us. For this reason we are a dog-friendly rental. We allow up to 2 dogs, up to 50 lbs. each.
(Sorry, no cats allowed.)
- At the time of booking please indicate that you are bringing your canine family member(s) with you so we can make sure that the pet fee is satisfied.
- We charge a one-time $129 non-returnable pet fee to bring your dog(s) with you. We don't like to charge this fee, but inevitably we will have dog-guests that cause damage to the home/property.
- Sorry… No cats allowed… It’s not that we don’t like our feline friends. It’s just that they sometimes leave permanent messes…

Travel Insurance
It is HIGHLY recommended and encouraged that you get travel insurance prior to traveling to the Outer Banks. As striking as the OBX is, the weather is a very real threat. If you don't currently have a travel insurance agent we recommend going online and compare prices and coverage. There are typically numerous options to choose from all of which are between only 3% and 8% of your reservation cost. Cancellations due to forced evacuation, including but not limited to flooding or hurricanes, will not be refunded and must be covered by travel insurance. Do not book this property if this is not acceptable to you. Per the North Carolina Vacation Rental Act (NCVRA), if travel insurance is waived or not procured there will be no host-funded refunds for mandatory evacuations.

Rental Agreement
North Carolina Vacation Rental Act (NCVRA) requires all rental guests to sign a standard rental agreement. This will be emailed to you upon making the reservation and must be signed prior to arrival. You will not be given a door code or granted access to the property without signing the vacation rental agreement, per North Carolina transient rental law.

House Rules
- Parties are not allowed.
- The main guest booking the reservation must be at least 25 years of age.
- Smoking is not allowed in the home or on the property. If you smoke inside the home you will be charged a $250 fee and increased cleaning costs as well as any damages the smoke causes.
- Parking is only allowed in the driveway, not in the yard.
- Dog poo clean-up is your responsibility. Please clean all dog poo from the yard prior to check-out.
- If dog poo is found in the yard there will be an additional $50 charge for dog poo removal.
- Dogs are not allowed on beds or furnishings. It is VERY difficult to get dog hair out of linens and blankets.
- If dog hair is found on linens and blankets there will be an additional $150 charge for hair removal.
- Kids are not allowed in the hot tub unless supervised by an adult.
- Alcohol is not allowed in or near the hot tub. Use hot tub at your own risk. 
- Unless otherwise communicated, late checkout or early checkin is not allowed. Our housekeepers are on a very tight schedule and their time is valuable. Feel complimentary to send us a message to inquire, but please don't be surprised if we cannot accommodate.
- Soap, shampoo, toiletries, condiments, and charcoal are not included. 
- Max allowed human beings in this home is 11 total. This home is on a septic system and too many guests can put a strain and cause serious damage to the system. If there are found to be more than 11 human beings staying on the property they will asked to leave immediately or risk the remainder of the reservation being cancelled and no refund will be given. (We hate to sound harsh and threatening. but replacing a septic tank can cost upwards of $20K).
- There is a Ring Doorbell camera on the front door to ensure that the number of individuals on the reservation match the number of individuals on premises.
-If the Ring Doorbell is covered, removed, damaged, or tampered with all guests will immediately be evicted and no refunds will be given. (We hate to be harsh, but this is only to protect our spectacular guests, ourselves, and the property.)
- In the summer months the home can get very warm. Keeping the blinds and drapes shut during the day can help keep the home cooler during the day. Please keep the air conditioners set no cooler than 71 degrees on these hot days. Lowering the AC units into the 60’s may result in the AC units becoming overworked and freezing up resulting in no air conditioning at all. 
- We do have some minor check-out duties that you will be asked to complete prior to checkout. Nothing major, but we wanted to mention it. More details are available in our digital welcome guide that will be sent to you prior to your reservation.

From time to time the front yard and driveway can accumulate standing water after severely heavy rain. We are, after all, on The Outer Banks! Please check the weather before you come and if a sizable storm is in the forecast bring some rain boots and it shouldn’t be an issue. The water typically recedes within a few days. All part of the appeal of visiting The Outer Banks!

*** UPDATE *** In July of 2021 we added 2 1/2 tons of millings to the driveway which increased driveway height over 4 inches. Since then we have had VERY heavy rains with no standing water under the car port. We figured we would leave this notice here anyways, just in case.

Thank you in advance to adhering to these rules. We trust that you know they are there for a reason and that’s to allow you to have as much fun as possible and be safe while doing it while respecting the home, the property, and the neighbors. Thank you and enjoy your stay!

Salvo vacation rental tips:

When to visit & When to reserve a Hatteras rental home:

• The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best rental properties are booked very early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Summer is high season in the Hatteras area. Booking your Hatteras vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Some hosts offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Often, property management companies supply Hatteras area visitors guides which include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting and booking your Hatteras rental:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and choose a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. ??4BR w/Hot Tub!??5 min walk to beach! ???? Dog friendly!???? has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property management company before reserving the rental. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask your host about allowable pet guidelines before booking.
• If there's a specific Hatteras attraction you are enamored with, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many concerns.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would at home.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your family's stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the property manager immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and places you would have not otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all belongings. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean 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? Most rental managers make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong 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.
