SEMI-OCEANFRONT Salvo - S. Sunrise Ct. - UNIQUE LOCATION: The Lucky Oyster is only 1 of 2 rental properties in Salvo bordering the Cape Hatteras National Seashore featuring unobstructed vistas of this 13-mile Federal Park. The Lucky Oyster’s unique location offers remarkable vistas of the Preserve Area to the south, often including sights of grazing deer, migratory wildlife, and an assortment of bird species. On clear nights and early mornings, the light from the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse can be seen across the park. Lucky Oyster also offers impressive exhibitions of the Pamlico Sound and sunsets, the Atlantic Ocean and sunrises, and extraordinary astrological star gazing. This 4,680 sq. ft. home is located on a peaceful cul-de-sac, one lot from the ocean, but with no homes directly in front, and offers gorgeous ocean and sound vistas. Beach accesses, with both dune and wooden walkway paths, are conveniently located just steps away. The home offers three levels of 360-degree decking, offering extreme privacy and amazing vistas.

Upon arrival, load your suitcases into the all-level elevator for convenience. Inside the home you’ll find the broad game room featuring a pool table, ping-pong table, two arcade games and a huge-screen TV with DVD player and Xbox 360. The lower-level kitchenette provides space to prepare and lay out snacks for the group and also features a full-size refrigerator, a dedicated under-counter ice maker, double sink and a microwave. A full-bath and bedroom with two sets of bunk beds and a queen bed are also found on this level, as is the laundry room with an industrial capacity washer and dryer. One level up, choose from three cavernous king master-bedrooms, each with private bathroom, TV, walk-in closet and access to the wrap-around covered decks with ocean, sound and seashore vistas. One king master is a family-suite, featuring a daybed with trundle. The top-level offers a king master-suite with TV, walk-in closet and sizable private bath with dual vanity and walk-in and linen closets. The bright and roomy great room astounds with high, vaulted ceilings, wood floor and shining blue ocean vistas through windows that surround the room. The 75" HD Intelligent LED TV with BluRay player and sound system is mounted above the mantle with seating area for casual conversation. Tasty meals are prepared in the adjacent well-appointed gourmet kitchen, featuring stainless-steel appliances and bespoke cabinetry. The gas range and constructed-in wall oven and microwave will please any chef. A breakfast bar seats six. The two huge dining tables offer seating for 15 and are located to maximize the pretty multi-faceted view. The screened-in porch to the south makes outdoor dining a breeze! After dinner, hop into the hot tub on the top deck and savor the view as the sun sets and the sky turns from blue to purple and then, orange, and the stars emerge. Take a dip in the shining private swimming pool with an inset kiddie pool and connecting waterfall. Gather around the poolside Tiki-bar for ultimate relaxation. Furry family members are most welcome at LUCKY OYSTER, a home owned by dog lovers! Your dog(s) will appreciate wandering the enormous, lighted, and fenced-in dog yard with covered first-level decking, just a slider-door away.

Tips and Tricks to get the best Salvo vacation property experience:

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

• To book the best rental within your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Hatteras attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation property six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, management companies supply Hatteras area travel guide magazines that include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between 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.

Filter your search:

• First, have your group choose vacation dates and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Semi-Oceanfront, Dog Friendly Salvo Cottage w\/ Pool, Hot Tub, Tiki Bar + Game Rm has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is regularly accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you reserve the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what is suitable for your family.
• Does your group require special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• 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! Pet fees or may be applied to your contract.

Advice for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Add a note with the directions to your smartphone, and take a printed copy.
• Note any issues with the property at check in, and immediately send them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent a lot of difficulties.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let crooks ruin your vacation.
• Just prior to departing, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget any personal items. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean 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 fantastic stay? Many rental websites make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
