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 handsome 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 sizable 10-seat dining table occupies prime real estate right in front of the deck sliders, accepting beautiful vistas to accompany your meals. You’ll appreciate 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.

Tricks and tips to get the best Hatteras rental experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation homes are booked very early. Reserving your vacation home up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• June, July, and August are high season in the Hatteras area. Reserve your rental in Fall or Spring months to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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 manager whether your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area travel guides that include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• First and foremost, have your group commit to dates and a max budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration you need. Oceanfront - Dog Friendly 7 Bedroom w\/ Pool, Hot Tub Elevator, and Game Room has 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is generally accessible on booking websites. If not, contact the host before booking your rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a property that allows animals. Get specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the host's phone number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Note any issues with the property at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if there is a dispute.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can usually help. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Just prior to departing, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the property manager is not available, take pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to drive future bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
