OCEANFRONT Salvo - Colony Drive Live the LIFE AQUATIC at this Hatteras Island beach hideaway. Breathtaking beauty is seen through the great room windows that reach to the sky. Morning coffee has never tasted better than when seated at the café table in the oceanfront screened porch. And beach access is simple, just over the dune.

When you arrive for your vacation, unload the car and change into your swim suits for a invigorating dip in the private pool. A wet deck accepts you to lounge in the water, or the kids to play, without going in deep. Spread out a buffet on the outdoor dining table or grille up some lunch on the charcoal grille. The poolside cabana bar has everything you need to relax including a TV, sink, refrigerator and bar counter with stools. An indulgent hot tub is close by for when the sun goes down. An outdoor cabana half bath is conveniently located close by as well.

Inside, find comfort in four well-appointed bedrooms. The top level king suite has private entry into the shared bathroom. Three bedrooms are located on the lower level and include a queen and a pyramid bedroom that share a full bath between them, and another king bedroom with private entry into the hall bathroom.

Meal prep is a breeze in the bright and cavernous kitchen with modern appliances and breakfast bar. The dining table is close by and seats the group with ocean vistas. After dinner, gather around the sizable screen TV in the great room for your favorite show or movie on the DVD player. It will be difficult not to be distracted by the blue ocean vistas, so the group might prefer sit on the deck to watch the colors of the sky change at sunset. Climb the spiral staircase to the loft game room with foosball table, another flat screen TV/DVD and a desk. With all that this home has to offer, life is good at LIFE AQUATIC!

Tips and Tricks to get the best rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers frequently offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area visitor guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Start by choosing your a vacation week and a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Oceanfront - Dog Friendly, Pool with Wet Deck, Hot Tub has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or could be applied to your agreement.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Document any issues with the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be useful if there is a dispute.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything on check-out day. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Hosts rely on excellent ratings to inspire new bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
