Croatoan's Lookout - Vacation rental home in Avon, NC

About this Property

• Sleeps 4
• 2 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Condo

Located on the west and east sides of a well-maintained condominium, our rental offers spectacular 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 beaches, or by the pool, there is plenty of space to savor the sun in an area surrounded by nature.

Irida III is based on a theme. In recognition of the very long and storied history of indigenous culture on the Outer Banks, we created three rooms of photography – in effect three galleries – that tell a story of nature as presented to its denizens. As people have known for many centuries, part of the magic of the Outer Banks is its profound and diverse ecology that is both healing and inspiring. It is our enjoyment to attempt to share a modern interpretation of what various cultures have experienced for comfortably a millennium.

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 top floor, offering some spectacular vistas of the area. The unit has a full kitchen, and two full bathrooms. Cable T.V. and internet are supplied, as well as access to the pool. A ground level storage unit is included, and is suitable for storing windsurfing, surfing, paddle boards, kiteboarding equipment. The unit can hold two bicycles.

We provide all linens, towels, and products needed for your vacation, and are honored to bring our guests as healthy a vacation experience as possible.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect rental experience:

When to reserve a Hatteras rental home & When to go:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the best value, try shifting your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The earlier you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved very early. Booking your vacation rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have coupons for local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by having your family choose date ranges and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family needs. Croatoan's Lookout has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually available online. If not, email the property owner before reserving the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to work out what is suitable for your vacation.
• If there's an individual Hatteras attraction you are enamored with, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or charges might be applied to your contract.

During your stay:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Note any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are assessed.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out 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.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
