You'll feel really blessed when you surround yourself with family and friends for a beach vacation at Lucky Stars. This oceanfront getaway in Buxton is located right on the Cape Hatteras National Seashore with expansive vistas of the Atlantic and effortless access to the beach. With four levels of decking that provide both shade and sun, there's no shortage of outdoor space for appreciating the salty ocean breezes. Whether you're curled up on the couch or preparing for a family dinner, the open-concept layout on the main level accepts everybody to appreciate the phenomenal ocean view. Upgrades include soaring vaulted ceilings, transom windows, wood floor, and juniper accent walls for plenty of coastal character. The chef in your group will savor the kitchen's granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Three of the four bedrooms on the mid-level feature deck access, ideal for falling asleep to the sound of crashing waves and waking up to an oceanfront sunrise. The cavernous primary bedroom includes a king bed and ensuite bath for plenty of privacy. The fourth level loft space is furnished with a queen bed to serve as a fifth bedroom if needed. Bed and bath linens are always supplied at no additional charge, and the beds will be made with fresh sheets and pillowcases prior to your arrival. Downstairs, the ground level is dedicated to indoor entertainment. Show off your billiard skills on the pool table or curl up in front of the generously sized TV with home theater system for a movie nighttime. There's even a mini refrigerator so you can grab a cold drink without having to go upstairs. Lucky Stars is just a five-min. drive to Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, and just fifteen mins. from world-class fishing at the legendary Cape Point. On the other side of the island guests can access the sound via the Haulover Day Use Area, also known as Canadian Hole because of its ideal conditions for windsurfing and kiteboarding. But you don't have to be a watersports pro to enjoy this little soundside beach. It's a great place for families to swim, paddleboard and launch kayaks. Nearby eateries include Cockeyed Clam, Rusty's Surf & Turf, and the Orange Blossom Bakery & Cafe - a locals' favorite. Please note that the daily effects of winds, waves, tides and storms have contributed to coastal erosion impacts at Cape Hatteras National Seashore, particularly adjacent to the villages of Rodanthe and Buxton. The effects of erosion in these towns result in dynamic and unpredictable changes to the dune line, which may unexpectedly affect beach access. Guests may need to utilize alternate beach access points during their stay. No family pets allowed. No smoking/vaping.

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

Money saving strategies:

• The earlier you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation rental six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental home.
• To find the best rental for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Hatteras restaurants and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be 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 near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply Hatteras area travel guides that include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose and book the bestvacation home:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a maximum budget.
• Rec Room with Pool Table has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is regularly available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the vacation property. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Pet fees or costs could be applied to your invoice.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

Know before you go:

• Add the property manager's phone number to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental home while you're away. Keep your property safe!
• Record any damages to the property during check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if a dispute is filed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets 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 family have a terrific time? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
