Tucked away on Colony Drive in Salvo, this comfortable oceanfront bungalow will really put your mind at ease. Simple yet sophisticated, Idle Minds offers three bedrooms and two baths, ocean vistas, and beautiful interior design.

An outdoor shower comes in handy for a fast rinse after a trip to the beach, and a charcoal grille off the back deck where everybody hangs out makes cooking out fun. There are two entry points to this bungalow: one in the front, and one in the back. The front stairs lead up to a sundeck that overhangs the drive, and the back stairs lead up to a bigger sundeck with a picnic table and hot tub.

As you enter the home from the front, you might not make it past the first room as a giant couch, flatscreen TV, Blu-ray player, and surround sound make this a premier spot to flop down and lounge the day away. A slew of board games and movies put the icing on the entertainment cake for both kids and adults alike.

Moving into the living room, a high vaulted ceiling really opens the place up. A couple of cozy chairs are ideal for reading the morning paper in, and a delightful couch and coffee table are centered around a marvelous fireplace creating an intimate setting. Just off the living room, you will find a roomy bedroom with a king bed and flatscreen TV. There is a full bathroom next to this room that is accessible from the bedroom and the living room.

As you proceed to the back of the home, there is an eight-person dining room table that looks out toward the ocean through sliding glass doors. The kitchen has all matching appliances, including a cooktop stove on the island bar with bar stools, accepting you to socialize while you prepare meals. You'll find another four-people counter height table in the breakfast nook, and back entrance leading to the sundeck and carport.

Upstairs you'll find bedrooms two and three. The second bedroom has a pyramid-style bed and is connected to bedroom three by a bathroom with a jetted tub. Bedroom three is an open loft space with a king-size bed. There is a sitting area that overlooks the living room, and the bed is tucked away in the back. Off this room, there are sliding glass doors that provide access to a second-level deck. From this deck, you can walk up one more level to the crow's nest that offers striking ocean vistas of the pristine Salvo beaches.

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect Salvo rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Booking a rental in Spring or Fall is a great way to save on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable properties.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are booked early. Booking your vacation rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area visitors guide magazines which will include special offers, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the best rental home:

• Select a group lead, choose your vacation week, and select a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Multi-level dog-friendly home w\/private hot tub, washer\/dryer, gas fireplace, AC has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rentals search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the host before booking the rental. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a certain Hatteras destination you love, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• Some rentals allow pets, and some do not. Acceptable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable pet guidelines before booking.

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the owner's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• To ensure that damages aren't linked to your stay, record any problem areas upon your arrival. E-mail the rental manager immediately to document any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on great reviews to compel more bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
