Make your escape to Afterdune Delight, an oceanfront getaway in Salvo that the entire family will adore - including the canine members! A path leads from the backyard directly to the beach for fun-filled days of swimming, surfing and fishing. Back at the home, three levels of decking provide sun, shade and plenty of outdoor space for appreciating the salty ocean breezes. Take a calming soak in the bubbly hot tub or climb up to the Ship's Watch for handsome sunrises and expansive vistas of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Inside, a sunroom off the living area serves as an extension of the great room and offers a wall of east-facing windows for enjoying the ocean view. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams add to the coastal character of this unique space. The open-concept layout ensures sight lines and flow into the eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Sit down at the table for family meals or dine al fresco on the deck with picnic table. The chic yet practical LVP floor that runs throughout the home (including the bedrooms) is ideal for sandy feet and paws returning from the beach. Four of the five bedrooms are located on the top level, including a king suite with semi-private bath. Bed and bath linens are always supplied at no additional charge, and the beds will be made with fresh sheets and pillowcases prior to your arrival. Downstairs, the broad mid-level rec room is all about indoor fun with family and friends. Between the pool table, ping pong and foosball, everybody in your group can flex their skills or discover a talent they never knew they had. For more laid-back entertainment, kick up your feet and watch a movie or the big game on the 55" TV with Surround Sound. The mid-level also includes another full bath and the fifth bedroom - a bunk room ideal for kids. A laundry/utility room is equipped with an additional full-size refrigerator for storing the catch of the day or additional groceries. Stock up on provisions at The Blue Whale grocery store, which is only a short walk from the home and carries everything from produce, deli items and craft beer to beach supplies, bait and tackle. Afterdune Delight is just 1 mile north of the fashionable Salvo Day Use Area, where you can experience the other side of the island. Located on the Pamlico Sound and maintained by the National Park Service, this family-friendly soundside beach includes a picnic area and restroom facilities. It's the ideal place for launching kayaks, kiteboards and SUP's. For more adventure, take a short drive south to Cape Hatteras where you can climb the lighthouse, go driving on the beach, or hop on a ferry to Ocracoke. Family Animals allowed - dogs only. No smoking/vaping.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Hatteras rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Booking your vacation rental in Spring or Fall is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. 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 property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Look for your local Hatteras visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines have deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to pick the best rental in the Hatteras area:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation dates, and choose a max budget.
• Dogs OK has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the host before booking your home. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Make a record of any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are assessed.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are a terrific source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
