OCEANFRONT Avon — Ocean View Drive — Along with your bags, pack you sense of adventure, your joy for discovery and your want to go with the flow when you head to LIVIN THE DREAM, a pretty 5,000-square-foot, seven-bedroom/five-full and one-half-bath home located less than two miles from the iconic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. Here, life is indeed grandiose, with everything you could want to turn your vacation into the next memorable chapter of your family’s story.

Pull up to the home set back from the road and note the huge grassy area where your welcomed family dog can shake out the zoomies. There’s a volleyball net and ping pong table here, too, to inspire some familial competition. On the ocean side of the home is a private saltwater pool and a five-person hot tub that provide idyllic options for relaxation. An outdoor shower and separate half-bath by the pool are two amenities you’ll determine are a well-worth-it convenience. Step inside and discover a game room featuring a pool table, air hockey table, arcade video game, and a 65-inch Intelligent TV. Store some beverages in the full-size refrigerator in the adjacent wet bar and let the fun begin. Also, on this level are two of the home’s bedrooms: one with a pyramid bunk and another with two single beds that share a full hallway bathroom.

An all-floor elevator brings you to the next level where there are four more bedrooms - 1 king and 3 queens. Two are masters with private ensuite baths and oceanfront deck access and two share a full hallway bath. There’s also an oceanfront sitting room on this level that can serve as a vacation home office, a peaceful space to read or watch TV or burn a few calories on a new Peloton® Bicycle. The home’s final bedroom, a king master with a private ensuite bath and deck access, is located on the top level right next to the hub of the home. Here, leather couches offer prime sightlines to the great room’s entertainment center housing a 65-inch Intelligent TV and sound bar. A enormous 10-seat dining table occupies prime real estate right in front of the deck sliders, accepting impressive vistas to accompany your meals. You’ll adore preparing those meals in the roomy and well-equipped kitchen featuring a granite island, four-stool breakfast counter, gas range with a grille, and a convection oven. Bring your crew to LIVIN THE DREAM and discover how much you needed this.

Getting the best vacation home experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• Summer time is high season in the Hatteras area. To find the best vacation home for your budget, we recommend booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Many management companies supply Hatteras area visitors guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

How to choose the best vacation home:

• Select a group leader, choose your dates, and select a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group needs. Oceanfront - Dog Friendly 7 Bedroom w\/ Pool, Hot Tub Elevator, and Game Room has 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly available on booking pages. If not, contact the property manager before you reserve your rental. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to establish which bed configuration is right for your group.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find your ideal rental home.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. .
• Traveling with pets? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or costs may be applied to your agreement.

More tips for your visit:

• Add the property manager's contact information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great resource to find the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would back home.
• At departure, take a final walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and scan for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a great vacation? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
