Make your escape to Afterdune Delight, an oceanfront getaway in Salvo that the entire family will appreciate - 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 pretty 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 fresh 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 trendy 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.

Tricks and tips to get the best Salvo rental experience:

Sticking to a rental budget:

• The earlier your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation home 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our favorite way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Booking websites typically offer renters an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain deals for local accommodations and attractions.

Narrow your Search:

• Select vacation dates and maximum budget.
• Dogs OK has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible online. If they are not listed, email the host before you book the vacation home. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a specific Hatteras attraction you crave, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many issues.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are away, just like you would at home.
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas during check in. text the property manager immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. 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.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on good feedback to stimulate more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
