The ground level entry is accessible by both stairs and a ramp. An elevator located immediately inside the entryway makes it painless for anyone with mobility issues to reach all levels of the home. You'll have a blast in the recreation room over a competitive game of foosball or billiards. To relax, simply sit back with a drink at the wet bar. Rainy day? No problem! Appreciate family movie nighttime in the media room with surround-sound speakers and Blu-ray Player or step outside on the covered deck to take a soak in the bubbly hot tub. Rest simple in a Master Queen Bedroom with attached full bathroom. Another bedroom with 2 sets of Bunk Beds can access a full-sized bathroom in the hall.

A covered front porch leads guests to the main entrance of this impressive home and is a great place to read your favorite book while staying in the cooler shade. The middle floor offers guests a choice of four different bedrooms, each featuring comfortable beds, coastal décor and direct access to a covered ocean-view deck ideal for soaking in the ocean breeze. There are two sizable King Master Bedrooms with attached full master bathrooms. A full-sized Jack-and-Jill style bathroom is shared by a Queen Bedroom and the fourth Bedroom featuring a single Pyramid Bunk Bed, ideal for the kids in your group. A conveniently located laundry room completes this level.

From the third floor, get the best of both worlds when you savor expansive water vistas of both the Pamlico Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. Unwind in a cavernous open-style living area with cozy furnishings and floor-to-ceiling windows that provide plenty of natural bright sunlight and a charming view of the ocean. The enormous kitchen features a corner bar with seating for 5, modern appliances, a wine rack, and comes completely outfitted with anything you might need to serve up a tasty seafood masterpiece. Sit down to a home-cooked meal (or your favorite takeout dish!) with an ocean view at the dining table with seating for 10. A convenient half-bath is located in the hall. A final King Master Bedroom is located on this level and features a roomy Master Bath and direct access to the deck. In the morning, appreciate your coffee on the oceanfront deck as you watch the sun rise up over the ocean as the waves lap the shore and every evening, the soundview deck offers a front-row seat to the most gorgeous sunsets on the beach.

Explore Historic Hatteras Island
If you've always wanted to get away from the busiest areas of the Outer Banks but still be within easy driving distance of local eateries, gift stores and landmarks, Rodanthe is the ideal place for you to take your next vacation! Just a few miles down the road, you can go birdwatching and discover the marshes of the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge or drive a few towns south to Buxton to climb the famed Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. The anglers in your group will adore being so close to the Rodanthe Pier where they can try their luck reeling in a big catch. To learn more about the town's history, stop by the Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station to learn about how water rescues were carried out long before modern technology. For a fast bite or tasty breakfast, order a made-from-scratch donut from The Dough Shack. For dinner, try a fresh Crabcake sandwich, fried oyster basket or the fish tacos from Good Winds Restaurant.

Rodanthe vacation rental tips and tricks:

Get the best rental value:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in Rodanthe. Book your rental home in Fall or Spring to get the benefit of gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds.
• 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 if your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area visitors guides which often include money-saving offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras area magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, selecting, and booking the perfect Hatteras rental home:

• Select dates and maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. 8045 Mirlo Hi * Oceanfront has 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is regularly available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the property manager before reserving your home. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to work out what is optimal for your vacation.
• Are you bringing the family pet? 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. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or costs applied to your invoice.
• If there's a certain Hatteras destination you crave, keep an eye out for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.

More considerations:

• Add the owner's contact info to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the rental manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respect the neighborhood. Frequently, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected everything. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect 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 feedback.
