OCEANSIDE Salvo — Park Rd. — In the Hawaiian language, “mahi” means strong, the ideal name for a home to match your deep want for the ideal Hatteras Island hideaway. Bright and colorful like the mighty fish, this four-bedroom/three- and one-half-bath home is just a short walk to the beach, close to prime fishing on the sound, and perched on a lake for some backyard bird watching.

A mahi mural greets you as you pull up and park your cars in the cavernous driveway or under the home. Here you will find a grilling area complete with both gas and charcoal grilles, and a picnic table. Spend the evenings under the nighttime sky next to the lake on the lawn in a comfortable Adirondack chair and reminisce on the day’s events. Make use of the convenient outdoor shower to clean up after a day in the sun, then step inside to a laundry room on the first level. Climb the stairs to the second level and discover the main living area. Bright, airy, and newly furnished, your family will adore being together as you make new vacation memories with great meals prepped in the gorgeously equipped kitchen, appreciating them around the six-seat dining table or gathering to watch the huge Intelligent TV. You’ll most certainly be drawn to the adjacent covered deck to soak in the six-person hot tub, savor a casual meal at the picnic table or simply sink into an Adirondack chair to appreciate the vistas. Also on this level is a half-bath and a king master bedroom with ensuite bath with stand-up shower Intelligent TV.

The remaining three bedrooms, all featuring Intelligent TVs, are located on the third level, including two kings, a queen, and a additional area with a bunk bed, all of which share two jack-and-jill baths. Rise and shine with the smell of coffee brewing just outside your bedroom door from the hallway coffee bar featuring a refrigerator to store the creamer. Take your brew out to the upper deck with vistas of both the ocean and sound as you contemplate how to spend the day. While the mahi moves fast, you have no need to rush – simply enjoy the gentle pace. But don’t wait to book your stay, availability at MAHI’S RETREAT won’t last.

New for 2024: New kitchen counters and sink.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summertime is high season in the Hatteras area. To get the most suitable rental home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at Hatteras restaurants, beaches, and activities.
• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Winter holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• 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 group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base 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 evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many property management companies supply Hatteras area visitor guides that include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.
