With sweeping oceanside vistas, unobstructed backyard vistas from its perch on a calming duck pond, this 6,700 sq. ft., 10-bedroom/10-full and 2-half-bath home offers both a private enclave and a prime point to launch your Hatteras Island vacation.

Of course, languid beach days, fishing excursions and island explorations will be on the itinerary, but so should days spent by the ground level pool. Settle into a lounge with a good book or in the eight-person hot tub for a relaxing soak. Two gas grilles will certainly inspire some poolside picnics, complemented by refreshment from the adjacent tiki bar. Just inside, discover another wet bar/kitchenette in a recreation area that will delight all ages. There’s a billiards table and a shuffleboard table for the competitors among you and a media area with theater-style seating and a huge Intelligent Roku TV to stream your favorite movies. There’s also a laundry room and half-bath on this level. Completing the ground level are two master bedrooms with ensuite baths: a two-set pyramid bunk room and a room providing a queen and single.

Six more master bedrooms occupy the mid-level, all with private bathrooms and Intelligent Roku TVs including a two-set pyramid bunk room and five king bedrooms, one of which offers an accessible-friendly bathroom. All of the bedrooms have access to the deck for either pool or ocean vistas. A separate office area features a slider to a deck that accepts natural light to enhance a productive remote workstation.

On the third level — accessible by a convenient elevator — the great room’s high ceilings, wood floors and multiple windows infuse the space with a warm casual elegance and natural light. Plentiful and comfortable seating provides an inviting getaway to play games and entertain with a enormous flat screen TV. A cavernous and well-appointed kitchen features granite counters and stainless-steel appliances, including dual fridges and two stoves to accommodate cooking for a crowd. Counter stools surround a breakfast bar, adding additional seating for full-family meals that can be appreciated together around two 10-seat dining tables. Two more roomy master king bedrooms, each with deck access and spectacular ocean vistas, along with a half-bath, complete this level.

Just a few steps up is an upper loft that offers a peaceful getaway to read a book or take in the expansive vistas from the marshlands toward the sound.

Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Cost saving strategies:

• Summer is the most expensive season in Hatteras. Reserving a rental home in Spring or Fall is our best tip for saving money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties. 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.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area travel guide magazines which often include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Start by choosing potential vacation weeks and a budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Semi-Oceanfront Dog Friendly Home with Private Pool, Hot Tub, Game Room has 10 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is often available online. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before you book the rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Looking for specific amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental
• Are you bringing the family pet? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or could be applied to your invoice.

Tips for your stay:

• We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately send them to the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be useful if a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all belongings. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to drive more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
