OCEANFRONT Hatteras — Lighthouse Ct. — New for 2024! — It’s time to feel good when you live out your vacation dreams at WALKIN’ ON SUNSHINE – HATTERAS, a impressive 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 cavernous 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 savor 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 sizable refrigerator, stand-alone ice maker, wine cooler, granite countertops, and breakfast bar seating for eight will impress those who appreciate to prepare and entertain. Savor 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.

Tricks and tips to get the very best vacation property experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• The sooner you can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Summertime is high season in the Hatteras area. Book your Hatteras vacation home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any 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 overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for additional information.
• Many management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area visitors guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning, picking, and booking a perfectvacation home:

• First, have your group agree to a vacation week and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Oceanfront Hatteras - Private Swimming Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator, Game Room has 7 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, contact the property owner before you book the home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what is suitable for your vacation.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• If there's a particular Hatteras attraction you are enamored with, browse properties that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking.

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or coffee maker. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents lots of concerns.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the host right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local scenic spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Double-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Most rental management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
