OCEAN SIDE Avon — Ocean Isle Estates — New for 2024! — Set your sights on clear horizons when you settle into SEA SMOKE, a delightfully appointed six-bedroom/five-full and one-half bath home just a short walk to the community beach boardwalk and the ocean’s edge. Also close by are Avon’s striking dining spots, a grocery store, and the famed Avon Fishing Pier.

But, before you dip a line into the water, dip your toes into the private heated pool, surrounded by plentiful lounge seating, a 6-person hot tub, an outdoor shower, and a poolside bar to appreciate a thirst-quenching drink. Heat things up with some competitive hoops, complements of the driveway basketball hoop, or in the ground-level game room where you can cue up a game of pool while watching the Intelligent TV and appreciating a snack prepared in the kitchenette. Also on this level are a queen bedroom and bedroom featuring two new triple bunk beds that share an accessible-friendly hallway bath.

Find your way to the mid-level by either the staircase or all-floor elevator and discover three more bedrooms: two king masters with ensuite baths and a king bedroom that shares a full bath with a media room featuring a new 60-inch Intelligent TV. This room, along with the king masters, has access to a covered deck to savor the island’s enchanting cross breezes. The final bedroom, a king master featuring an ensuite bath with a jetted tub sits on the third level and offers access to a private deck. All of the home’s bedrooms feature Roku® Intelligent TVs.

Blues, greens, and natural wood draw everybody to the calming great room, an open, airy, and light-filled space that inspires communal gatherings throughout the day. A cavernous kitchen features Silestone counters offering plenty of meal-prep space and a three-stool breakfast counter to accommodate early risers for coffee. There’s a gas grille in the screened-in porch just off the kitchen adding to the ease of cooking and serving those family-favorite meals around an outdoor picnic table or a dining table that seats 10. The great room offers ample seating to sink into at the end of the day to watch the Intelligent TV perched over the gas fireplace or from the furnished deck, where natural programming takes over. With your two dogs curled at your feet, count those lucky stars populating the nighttime sky that SEA SMOKE was a clear choice.

Our top Rental home tips and tricks:

Sticking to a budget:

• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are high season in Avon. To get the best value, try changing your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer great weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be 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 vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay 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 or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Hatteras visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, travel guides have discounts for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

Make a plan and pick your prefect Hatteras rental home:

• Begin by selecting trip dates and a max budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your family requires. Oceanside - Dog Friendly 6 Bedroom with Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator, and Game Room has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. Otherwise, email the property management company before you reserve the home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Traveling with pets? 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 might be applied to your agreement.
• If there's a specific Hatteras attraction you are enamored with, search for properties that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

More tips for your visit:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Make a record of any issues with the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if damages are assessed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great source for finding the best local beaches.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. 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.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on great ratings to stimulate new bookings. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will be thankful you shared your review and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
