About this Property

• Approximately 912 square feet

Sitting on the west and east sides of a well-maintained condominium, our rental offers breathtaking vistas of the canal and landscaped backyard. We take very good care of the property, seeking to give our guests the best of both a home and a hotel. Either on the unit’s east or west decks, the pristine beach, or by the pool, there is plenty of space to savor the sun in an area surrounded by nature.

Irida II is based on a theme. In recognition of the very long and storied maritime history of the Outer Banks, we created three rooms of photography – in effect three galleries – that tell a story of nature and the human want to sail. We are sailors, and we have been blessed for years to experience the marvelous gifts of nature the Outer Banks provides. It is our enjoyment to attempt to share our world through our eyes.

Grocery shopping and many eateries are all within a five-min. drive, and Ocean Air Sports – a leading watersports center on the outer banks – is next door. This area is one of the most fashionable kiteboarding and windsurfing locations on the entire east coast, and it is equally known for its fishing. A impressive canal gives access to Pamlico Sound, or public access to the ocean beach is only a ten-min. walk away. Given the Outer Banks, concentration of federal and state protected lands, there is ample opportunity for nature-based recreation, and its history is legendary.

Our unit is one level and is located on the first floor, making for easier accommodation than most places in the Outer Banks. The unit has a full kitchen, and two full bathrooms. Cable T.V. and internet are included, as well as access to the pool. A ground level storage unit is supplied, and is suitable for storing windsurfing, surfing, paddle boards, or kiteboarding equipment. The unit can hold two bicycles.

For your convenience, all linens, paper products, cleaning supplies, and personal care soaps are supplied. We are proud to select the healthiest products on the market.

Hatteras vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Finding your perfect rental:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Avon. To get the best value, try changing your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property management companies often offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have deals for nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your group requires. Artful Comfort Honoring Sailors and the Sea has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible online. If not, call the host before booking your home. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a particular Hatteras beach you crave, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly rental. Request information on breed, size, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

More tips for your stay:

• Be sure you get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental.
• Upon check-in, record any issues with the property and immediately alert the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, elevator or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your home life. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would've never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can often help. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let thieves spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and look for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most rental managers make it easy for clients to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect 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.
