About this Property

• Sleeps 4
• 2 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Condo
• 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 appreciate 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 amazing 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 handsome 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 TV and internet are supplied, 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 included. We are proud to select the healthiest products on the market.

Getting the best vacation property experience:

When to book & When to go:

Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the base stay 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 unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.

You can also find Hatteras visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Know before you go:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental. Put the host's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many problems.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Document any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Be respectful. Often, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on great reviews to drive new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
