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 appealing 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 humongous 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.

Rental home tips and tricks:

When to reserve a Hatteras rental & When to go:

• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Book your rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons to enjoy beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer.
• Some property management companies offer special rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply Hatteras area visitor guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Choosing the perfect vacation home in the Hatteras area:

• Begin by choosing your trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Multi-level dog-friendly home w/private hot tub, washer/dryer, gas fireplace, AC has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available online. If not, contact the host before booking the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to search for a property that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Hatteras attraction you are crazy about, browse homes that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental

Have a fantastic stay:

• Be sure you get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental. We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or coffee maker. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents lots of difficulties.
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• At Check-in, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your peaceful neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Residents can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Most rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
