Across the hall is the first of five bedrooms, a master king with private bath. A washer/dryer sits on the landing between levels one and two. The second level reveals three more bedrooms: a king and queen, each with private ensuite baths; and a pyramid bunk room with access to a hallway bath. The final bedroom, a king with private ensuite bath and sound-facing deck access is located on the third level. Like all of the other bedrooms, this one is equipped with a intelligent TV.

The third level’s great room provides a seamless gathering place for those moments you adore to share with each other, whether you are creating family favorite foods in the well-equipped kitchen, sharing it around a generous dining table for eight or at the three-seat breakfast counter, or appreciating TV time from the opulent comfort of an ample couch.

Finding the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Hatteras area. Booking your vacation home in Spring or Fall is a great way to save on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.

Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.

• Keep your rental home locked while you're out! Don't let thieves ruin your family vacation.
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a excellent vacation? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your rental and/or property management company was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
