OCEANFRONT Hatteras – The tide may ebb and flow, but time has a way of standing still at TIME AND TIDE, a elegant cedar shake home perched on Hatteras Island’s pristine seashore and located within walking distance to close by eateries, stores, and walking and cycling trails. Wide, freshly furnished verandas reveal spectacular vistas as far as the eye can see from this seven-bedroom/six full- and two half-bath home where your family can settle into a vacation destined to inscribe a new chapter of memories. Multi-generational families will appreciate the home’s ability to accommodate older family members, especially with the all-level elevator, an entry-way ramp and a first-level King ocean front bedroom with deck access and a semi-private bathroom which features a roll-in shower with a folding bench seat. The first level also reveals another bedroom with two double full beds; a half-bath; and a game room that offers a sports bar vibe with a pool table, three Intelligent TVs and a wet bar with full-size refrigerator and microwave to keep drinks and snacks at the ready. A slider just off this kitchenette reveals a covered deck hosting a six-person hot tub. Just below it, an broad paver patio surrounding a dune-protected pool offers hours of family fun under the sun or in the shade of a pergola.

The second level encompasses four primary bedrooms, all with Intelligent TVs and private baths. There are two oceanfront king master bedrooms, one with a Jacuzzi tub, that have access to a covered deck. Another king master and a double full master complete this level. The final bedroom, an ensuite king that features a Jacuzzi tub and spa-like bespoke-tiled shower is located on the third level, close to the action that unfolds in the home’s great room, dining and kitchen areas. Here, wood beamed vaulted ceilings and plenty of natural light create a space where interaction and conversation find a natural and painless-going flow. Avid cooks will appreciate the well-supplied kitchen, complete with two dishwashers, microwave, wet bar sink, six-burner gas range, enormous refrigerator for all of your groceries and a breakfast bar. Serve the feasts you prepare in the cavernous dining room where the ocean provides a impressive backdrop. It’s simple to sink into the living area’s comfortable seating for some after-dinner Intelligent TV watching and even easier to feel the lure of the upper-level deck. Sit to reminisce about the day or plot out the next one as the nighttime sky fills with stars. TIME AND TIDE waits for no one. Book it today!

Tips and Tricks to get the very best rental experience:

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

• June, July, and August are high season in the Hatteras area. To get the most suitable rental home for your budget, we recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Hatteras attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, management companies supply Hatteras area visitor guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to select the perfect rental:

• To start, have your group commit to vacation dates and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. SUMMER SAVINGS - Oceanfront Handicap Friendly w/ Private Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. Otherwise, contact the property owner before reserving the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You'll need to determine what configuration is right for your group.
• Does your family require particular amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Use these filters to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.
• Do your family pets travel with you? 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 rental agreement! Extra fees or costs could be applied to your agreement.

More considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your phone.
• Make a record of any issues with the property at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be very helpful if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents lots of issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors disrupting your peace. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your vacation home while you are away. Protect your property!
• Upon check-out, complete a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property managers rely on good feedback to propel new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
