SEMI-SOUNDFRONT Rodanthe - Cross of Honor Way - SUMMER DUCK is located across a peaceful cul-de-sac from the peaceful Pamlico Sound. Appreciate spectacular vistas of the sound to the west, the pristine Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge to the north, as well as ocean vistas to the east, from this splendid home’s well-furnished decks. Step out back and jump into the crystal waters of your private swimming pool or head to the beach for a day of frolicking in the waves. The ocean is just a fast walk away using a community boardwalk and simple beach access across the road. After a day in the ocean or sound, relax sore muscles in the 6-person hot tub. Inside, choose from five well-appointed bedrooms, including a king master bedroom on the top level and a queen master bedroom on the mid-level, each with its own private bathroom. Also on the mid-level are two queen bedrooms, one with private entrance into the common bathroom. A bunk bedroom is located on the lower level and would use the common bathroom on the mid-level. The top-level great room is full of windows, nearly floor to ceiling accepting tons of pretty sunlight into the home as well as impressive vistas from the kitchen, dining and living areas. The kitchen provides all that you need for a week full of food preparation and enjoyment. The adjacent dining area seats 10 comfortably. End your days with the expansive view in the great room and star gazing from the deck and covered porch. With the new Jug Handle Bridge freshly opened the once-busy road has been emptied of through traffic, making the route to the beach that much easier!

Finding the best vacation property experience:

How to get the best rental value:

• Reserve your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To get the best value, consider shifting your family's Hatteras trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer pleasant temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. 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 friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guide magazines have coupons for nearby accommodations and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Select a group lead, select your vacation week, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Semi-Sound Front - Pool, Community Tennis Court & Sound Access has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking websites. Otherwise, reach out to the property management company before you book the home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what bed configuration is right for your vacation group.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, search for a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Note that some property managers charge additional pet fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental.

Tips to have a smooth stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the instructions to your smartphone.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are gone! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• To make sure no damages are linked to your visit, note any problem areas when you arrive. Call the property manager right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be useful.
• Respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a great vacation? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear about it. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
