Pack a basketball and some horseshoes! You’ll be sizing up the basketball hoop, horseshoe pit, and the competition as you unload your car from the sizable concrete parking area. If you’ve brought along your furry family members, you’ll appreciate the dog-washing station with hot and cold water. There are two outdoor showers for the humans, too, ideal for cleaning up after a day at the beach or cooling down from a soak in the 6-person hot tub. A private swimming pool offers a super beach alternative, especially when new lounge chairs offer the ideal place for an afternoon nap. Later, trade the pool lounge for a pool cue in the ground level game room, which also features an entertainment center with a TV, DVD player, full-size refrigerator, and a half bath.

A king bedroom and a bedroom with two singles share a jack-and-jill bath, while a second king and another bedroom with two singles share a full bath with hallway access. There is an additional full bath on this level, as well as a laundry closet. Direct access to two decks that span this level, one deck offers ocean vistas from the two-person swing or hammock and the other deck offers a screened-in porch, ideal for a peaceful sanctuary. The remaining two bedrooms, a master king with ensuite bath and a queen with access to a full hall bath are located on the second level.

The main living area, located on the second level, is where the vacation memories accrue as your family comes together for meals, game nights, and late-into-the-nighttime conversations. A well-outfitted kitchen inspires the chefs among you to whip up special vacation meals, all of which can be appreciated — accompanied by ocean vistas — at the four-seat breakfast bar and two dining tables that accommodate 12. A new 65” Intelligent TV draws everybody into the great room for calming TV watching while the top-level deck, complete with 12 Polywood® deck chairs and tables, may prove to be a bigger draw when the moon rises and the stars come out to play.

How to book the best vacation home experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in Avon. To find the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during June, July, and August.
• Some owners offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers typically offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation 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 ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Hatteras area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, travel guides contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by selecting your vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Semi-Oceanfront Avon - Dog Friendly, Elevator, Private Pool, Hot Tub has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email the property management company before you reserve your home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to work out which bed configuration is right for your family.
• If your group is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• If there's a certain Hatteras destination you are enamored with, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. .

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or WIFI setup. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few issues.
• Lock your rental while you're out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Make a record of any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are often a great source for finding the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• At departure, complete a walk-through to confirm you have not leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
