SOUNDSIDE Avon - Pheasant Ct. - The location of this comfortable and family-friendly bungalow, located at the peaceful southern end of Avon on a secluded cul-de-sac, offers the best of multiple worlds: less than five mins.’ walk from the beach, a one-min. drive from Ramp 38, entryway to year-round four-wheel-drive beach access beloved by fishermen, and poised at the northern tip of more than six miles of undeveloped National Seashore between Avon and Buxton—ideal for beautiful beach walking, and home to two world-class water-sport destinations on the soundside: Canadian Hole, a bucket-list location for windsurfers, and Kite Point, an international Mecca for kiteboarders. The bungalow itself, a classic cedar-shake saltbox offers vistas of both the ocean and sound from the roomy, well-furnished upper and lower decks. The main level, sporting a fresh look this year with freshly laid bamboo floor and a new paint has living/dining area with cathedral ceilings, a queen bedroom, full bath, and a cavernous, well-equipped kitchen with pantry closet which opens onto a huge, screened porch with picnic table and access to the covered lower deck. The upper level has a king and bunk bedroom, a full bath, and access to the sizable upper deck; it also features a cozy loft area with double-bed futon/couch and table and chairs for a peaceful reading area, a lively card game, or a fourth sleeping space. The entry level has secure inside storage for all your gear, washer and dryer, and access to the enclosed outside shower. The shelling and fish-cleaning table and charcoal grille are next to the under-home parking area. Whether you seek a watersport or fishing destination, a fast walk to sundrenched days on the beach, the experience of long walks on a rare natural seashore, or just the countless hunt for the ideal shell—Askin Cottage has you covered.

Finding the best Avon rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Hatteras area. To get the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas 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 manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Hatteras visitors guide magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on local tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning and picking your prefect Hatteras rental:

• Select a group leader, select your trip dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. SUMMER SAVINGS-Soundside Home Close to Beach w/ Stunning Views + Screened Porch has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly available online. Otherwise, email or call the host before you reserve your rental. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental.
• Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask your host about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Know before you go:

• Add the host's contact info to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are very helpful if a dispute is filed.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on good ratings to drive more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your review 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 remedy it.
