OCEANFRONT Hatteras — Lighthouse Rd. — A dream catcher’s circular shape symbolizes the uninterrupted flow of life as the moon sets and the sun rises each day. Now close your eyes and imagine a place that inspires you to thrive to a similar cadence. Open them and find yourself at DREAM CATCHER BY THE SEA, a spectacular nine-bedroom/eight-full and two-half bath home where all of your desires for a dream vacation naturally fall into place.

Located in the walkable and bicycle-friendly Hatteras by the Sea subdivision, guests have access to all of its amenities, including a pool, nature walk, and impressive beach. But you may find it hard to leave a home that serves as its own private resort. A glass block waterfall lulls the adults into the jetted spa end of a enormous private pool, while the shallow tanning ledge at the other end entices the younger set to make a splash of their own. Rinse off in the outdoor shower after practicing your complimentary throws on the driveway basketball hoop and claim a seat at the shaded poolside bar while you sync up some tunes. Food to go with those drinks? Yes, please, thanks to the poolside gas grille and a full kitchenette with a refrigerator, sink, and microwave located in the adjacent game room. Here you will also find a pool table, foosball table, and a wall-mounted Intelligent TV. Microwave some popcorn and settle in next door, where a 16-seat home theater features a 110” screen and surround sound. Also on this level are a king and queen master bedroom.

Take the elevator to level two and discover five more bedrooms. There’s two king master bedrooms with access to an oceanfront deck; one bedroom with two pyramid bunk beds; one with two single beds and another king bedroom with deck access. The laundry room is located on this level as are two full hallway baths, one that features a roll-in shower making it accessible-friendly. A 6-person hot tub on the oceanside deck invites all to savor a relaxing soak to a serenade of ocean waves. Another king master with a jetted tub and private deck access is located on the third level. The final bedroom, a huge king master suite with a jetted tub and private oceanfront deck is located on the fourth level and is connected to an executive office suite to keep your work/life balance in check. All of the bedrooms feature Intelligent TVs.

It’s on the third level where you'll find the reason everybody is drawn to the spectacular great room —with its gorgeous ocean vistas revealed from floor-to-ceiling picture windows and a furnished deck that extends the length of the home. There’s room for more than one prepare in the cavernous and newly reimagined gourmet kitchen featuring two of everything: oven, stove, microwave, sink, dishwasher and refrigerator and where a six-seat breakfast bar attracts early risers for that first cup of coffee. Make it a group affair and prepare a feast that can be served at two eight-seat dining areas. After dinner, pull a cold one from the wine cooler in the bar area and wind down the evening at the card table in the sunroom, snuggled on the couch in front of the Intelligent TV or on the deck as the stars take over the nighttime sky.

Strategies to get the best Hatteras vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in Hatteras. Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is an excellent way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter 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 family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies supply Hatteras area visitors guide magazines which will include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to choose and book your prefectrental:

• Select your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your group needs. Oceanfront Hatteras - Private Pool, Elevator, Hot Tub, Game Room, Theater Room has 9 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available on booking websites. Otherwise, email or call the property manager before you book the rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what configuration is best for your vacation group.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you will need a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Often, hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Does your family require specific amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on good feedback to stimulate future bookings. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
