SEMI-OCEANFRONT Avon – Ocean View Dr. – For that sand between your toes feeling you’ve been dreaming about since last summer; THE SANDY HOME is ready to turn those reveries into your summer reality. Located just a short walk to the beach, this six-bedroom/four-full and one-half-bath home is ideal for sizable multi-generational families, especially when an accessible ramp and elevator provides everybody seamless access to all levels.

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 enormous 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 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, kitchenette, and a half bath.

Discover four of the home’s bedrooms on the first level. 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-supplied kitchen inspires the chefs among you to whip up special vacation meals, all of which can be adored — accompanied by ocean vistas — at the four-seat breakfast bar and two dining tables that accommodate 12. A 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.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Hatteras vacation property experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• Summer months are high season in Avon. To get the largest rental home for your budget, we recommend booking in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions.
• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Hosts sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere 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 issues or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Hatteras visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guide magazines contain discounts for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Choosing and booking the perfectvacation home:

• Select a designated group leader, choose your vacation week, and choose a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Semi-Oceanfront Avon - Dog Friendly, Elevator, Private Pool, Hot Tub has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email or call the property management company before you book the home. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to work out what configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• Are you visiting for a specific attraction? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. .
• If your group is bringing pets, search for a rental that allows animals. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Add the owner's contact information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• To make sure that damages are not linked to your visit, note any problem areas during arrival. Speak to the rental manager immediately to document your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief call prevents a lot of issues.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would have never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave a review! Hosts rely on good ratings to drive new reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will appreciate that you share your review find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
