Located at Avon's secret South end (on Park Drive), striking MAESTRALE has unrestricted vistas of Cape Hatteras National Seashore, Pamlico Sound and the Atlantic. Positioned one home away from the Sound on a cul-de-sac, this very peaceful SEMI-SOUNDFRONT location is actually closer to the water than some soundfront homes on the Island. It's just a 6 min. walk to the ocean and a 1 min. walk on a sand/boardwalk path to the shallow, warm waters of the Pamlico Sound where you will find a private-access, secluded shallow-water beach on where kids can wade & find hermit crabs. This is a premier destination for wind sports enthusiasts & is an ideal windsurfing/kiteboarding launch area. You can leave your gear on the beach when you go to the home for lunch or refreshments. The ocean is just a fast 6 min. walk down the street & over the dunes on the community maintained boardwalk. Kayak (single) available to guests.

The ground level has ample concrete parking, basketball hoop, outside shower, carport, under-home entry, partial boardwalk and lockable storage area (concrete floor) that will accommodate boards and rigged sails. The 1st floor has an inviting 'hideaway' sitting room. The first master suite has a full bath. The second bedroom is bunk equipped and the third is twin equipped. The second bath opens to hallway. MAESTRALE'S sizable second level great room with tall cathedral ceilings has ideal southern exposure, tons of glass, and 'postcard' vistas of Hatteras Island's peaceful side. The well-equipped kitchen with breakfast bar and wide dining area is a hit. A 2nd master suite has a semi-private bath. The spa/hot-tub on the back deck is the ideal place to close every vacation day. Wide south sun decks squeeze every drop of sun to warm winter weary guests.

Tips and Tricks to get the best Hatteras vacation rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• To book the most suitable rental for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at Hatteras restaurants, tours, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area visitors guides which include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often an excellent resource to find the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you're out! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• When it's time to leave, complete a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget any personal items. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and scan for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to stimulate future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will will be grateful for your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Be fair with your review.
