You will definitely forget what day it is when you stay at Island Time Buxton! This four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath bungalow gives true meaning to a 'vacation on the beach.' Just one row back from the ocean, someone with a good arm could throw a stone into the sea from either sundeck, and with 2,500 sq. feet of living space, there is plenty of room for the entire family to savor the striking vistas all day and nighttime.

Located on impressive Tower Circle Road in Buxton, there's no need to haul gear back and forth from the car to appreciate your day at the beach; all you need to do is walk out your front door and walk across the street to enjoy the surf and sun. Dual outdoor showers and an outdoor restroom provide the beach lover with the ultimate convenience. Ready for lunch? Use the fish cleaning table for filleting your fresh catch and throw it on the charcoal grille to prepare them up along with some hot dogs and burgers - a ideal beach picnic!

As you enter the home on the bottom level, you are welcomed by a comfortable den and game room. A cozy couch, enormous flatscreen intelligent TV, games, puzzles, and an air hockey table are supplied to help occupy the kids when they need a break from the sand and sunshine. Meanwhile, you can find a ideal book from our library for those afternoons calming on one of the two sundecks. Laundry? No worries! You won't need to bring those dirty towels home, the washer and dryer are there for your convenience.

Moving upstairs to the second level, you will find all four bedrooms. The first bedroom has two sets of bunk beds and a huge flatscreen intelligent TV ideal for gaming. The second bedroom has a queen bed, intelligent TV, and direct access to the hot tub through the French doors. These two bedrooms share a nice sized full bathroom which is off the hallway. Bedrooms three and four are both main suites with queen beds, full bathrooms, flatscreen intelligent TVs, and direct access to the first level deck and its accompanying hot tub. From both rooms you can lie in bed and watch the rolling waves of the Atlantic crash on to the shore.

Walk upstairs to the roomy main living area, where you will find the dining area, family room, kitchen and half bath. Lit by natural light and highlighted with spectacular vistas of the ocean from every seat, the open floorplan brings the family together with a huge sectional couch centered around a coffee table, a sizable flatscreen TV, Blu-ray player, stereo, and surround sound. The dining area provides plenty of seating with a pub table for four and a 10-person dining table. The kitchen comes completely equipped with everything you will need to prepare for the whole gang and a large island that doubles as a four-person breakfast bar for seating.

The second level deck is accessible from the dining area and is ideal for kicking back and soaking up the rays, reading a book in the shade while appreciating a cool breeze, taking in the sights, such as the famed Cape Hatteras Light House, and for dining alfresco on the screened in deck complete with picnic table. The best of all worlds is on one deck!

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Buxton vacation home experience:

Get the most from your rental budget:

• Summer time is high season in Buxton. To book the best rental within your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.

Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.

• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are gone, just like you would back home.
