OCEANFRONT Hatteras — Lighthouse Ct. — It’s time to feel good when you live out your vacation dreams at WALKIN’ ON SUNSHINE – HATTERAS, a gorgeous seven-bedroom/seven-full and three-half-bath home perched on the ocean’s edge. Only grassy dunes separate you from the sun-dappled surf, a vision that teases you from every window and leaves an imprint on your memory long after you leave.

Imagine bringing multiple generations of your family together in this roomy home, thoughtfully designed with accessible-friendly features like an all-floor elevator and a roll-in shower. You’ll begin to unload your cares as soon as you unload your car in the dry-entry carport and take stock of the home’s enviable amenities. A semi-private boardwalk will have you walkin’ on sunshine to the beach, although the fenced-in private pool may edge out the surf for the first dip in the water. Here, there are plenty of loungers to settle in for a poolside nap, two outdoor showers, and a fish cleaning station with water and lights that will delight the avid anglers among you. Take a break from the sun — but not the fun — in the ground-level game room, complete with a pool table, foosball table, arcade console with Nickelodeon games, shuttle bowling, and TV, as well as a sleeper couch and wet bar with microwave and full-size refrigerator. Keep an eye on the poolside action from a slider that opens onto an broad covered deck that also reveals an 8-person hot tub. There is a half-bath just off the game room.

Three of the home’s ensuite bedrooms are also on this level: a king master featuring dual vanities, a shower, and jetted tub, and a queen master with an accessible-friendly shower both feature TVs and access to the covered deck. A third bedroom offers a set of double-over-double bunk beds, a single bunk, and a TV, making it the ideal kid zone. Three more bedrooms, all with TVs, occupy the first level, including two king master bedrooms and another ensuite bedroom with a double-over-double bunk set with a trundle. Also on this level is a half-bath, laundry facilities and an entertainment area featuring a 65-inch TV and a enormous sectional couch so everybody can appreciate movie nights together. Sliders from this space open onto a deck where a whole other set of stars put on an Oscar-worthy show.

The final bedroom, a king master, offers a opulent bath with dual vanities, shower, and a jetted tub, as well as access to an ocean view sundeck. This extravagant escape is just steps from the great room, where an airy open layout brings everybody together for those indelible vacation moments. A handsome kitchen featuring two ovens, two sinks, dual microwaves, dual dishwashers, a huge refrigerator, stand-alone ice maker, wine cooler, granite countertops, and breakfast bar seating for eight will impress those who appreciate to prepare and entertain. Appreciate the fruits of the chef’s labor in a dining room that accommodates 24. Fill the evening out by choosing from the library of 300 DVDs to watch on the TV, games and conversation in the great room or out on the covered porch where two porch swings rock you into blissful contentment. Watching the moon rise will remind you why booking WALKIN’ ON SUNSHINE – HATTERAS was the best decision you ever made.

Strategies to get the best rental home experience:

Finding the best value:

• To find the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Hatteras attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer customers an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area travel guide magazines which will include special deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to select the best vacation rental in Hatteras:

• Choose a designated group leader, choose your trip dates, and select a spending budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Oceanfront Hatteras - Private Swimming Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator, Game Room has 8 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the host before booking your rental. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what is suitable for your group.
• If there's an individual Hatteras attraction you simply love, look for rentals that are either near by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or costs applied to your agreement.

Additional considerations:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Upon arrival, make note of any issues with the rental property and immediately contact the owner. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief call can prevent lots of difficulties.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to confirm you have not forget anything. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from 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.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on great ratings to compel new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation rental. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
