Welcome to 'Our Escape Hatch'. Amply named considering the privacy you'll feel with trees separating you from 'the rest of the world'. This SUNDAY to SUNDAY rental is ideal for a modest family or couples wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of daily living. This home was purchased to relax in and share good times with friends and family.

Our bungalow is the third lot from the ocean!! With direct access, it's only an approximate 200 yard walk to the dune line and beach!

'Our Escape Hatch' is a simple home, but well maintained, adored, and gorgeously decorated for those just 'wanting to get away'. In our years of ownership, very few bells and whistles have been added - intentionally!! However, in the living room, you can expect a Intelligent TV with cable and a DVD player. Bring your favorite movies or rent them at a near by Red Box. There is a smaller TV in two of the three bedrooms. Wireless Internet is also available. A stereo is there for your CD's or listen to local radio. Ceiling fans are in all three bedrooms, the kitchen, and living room. There is a king bed in one bedroom, a queen bed in another, and a double bed in the third bedroom. This home is meant for relaxation, for beach, and outdoor activity lovers!

Savor the diversity the Outer Banks of North Carolina offers. There is surf fishing (NC license is required) or the Rodanthe Fishing Pier is just a couple of miles away (no license required for pier fishing). There is also charter fishing from Oregon Inlet or Hatteras Village. If water sports are your plans you are in the right place! You may want to climb the famed Hatteras Lighthouse a few miles south of Salvo or horseback ride in close by Buxton. There are nature trails to discover at the Pea Island Welcome Center. End your day with a walk on the beach and a dinner prepared on the charcoal grille. For dessert, bring your flashlight for a moonlight walk on the beach and experience beautiful starlit nights!

On the gentler side, if you want a 'nighttime out', there are many phenomenal eateries close by. Spa Koru offers a work-out facility or pamper yourself with a message, pedicure or manicure - only a short distance away in Avon. Just a 45-min. drive is a complimentary ferry from Hatteras Village to Ocracoke where you can browse through stores filled with local art, savor fresh North Carolina seafood on an outdoor deck, or take a family bicycle tour of this cozy fishing village.

You can spend a week or a lifetime on the Outer Banks of North Carolina and never see or experience everything this area offers. Don't forget your want to capture the good times and beauty of what your time here holds.

Tips to get the perfect Hatteras vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Summer months are high season in the Hatteras area. To book the largest rental home within your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at your favorite Hatteras restaurants and activities. 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 loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for details.
• Many rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area visitors guides that include special offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship between the 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.

Make a plan and pick yourvacation home:

• Choose your dates and maximum budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family requires. Privacy at the Beach has 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is almost always accessible online. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before you book the vacation home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to establish what is suitable for your vacation group.
• Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .
• Do your family pets travel with you? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or costs applied to your invoice.

Tips to have a great stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• Make a record of any issues with the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the property manager. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, stereo or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your home life. Practice the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and attractions you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager is not available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
