"Rock The Sea" is a Striking little bungalow next to the beach! Within five steps off the property, you already have your toes in the sand. Listed as having 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms; however, there is a spare room on the ground floor that can also sleep 2 people, and another half bathroom and an outdoor shower.

You can hear the waves at nighttime as you sit out on the deck. The home also offers two bicycles and beach gear (body boards, skim boards, kids' toys, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, etc) in the shed underneath the deck for guest use!

Strategies to get the optimal Hatteras vacation home experience:

Find your perfect vacation home:

• Book your vacation in the Fall or Spring to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental home.
• Some hosts and property managers offer special rates for veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Look for your local Hatteras area magazine when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines have discounts for local accommodations and attractions.

Finding the perfect rental home in Hatteras:

• To start, have your family decide on vacation dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Only Five Steps From The Beach Access! has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property management company before you book your rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Does your group require specific amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• 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. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional fees or might be applied to your invoice.

More tips for your visit:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• At Check-in, record any damages to the rental property and immediately contact the host. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few problems.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all personal items. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental a final time and look for damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a excellent time? Most rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
