SEMI-SOUNDFRONT Salvo — The cherry on top to the ideal vacation is being close to the people you appreciate, surroundings that inspire you, and doing the things that bring you joy. That is what makes CHOCOLATE SUNDAE the complete confection for a ideal hideaway. Located just moments from Pamlico Sound, this five-bedroom/five- and one-half-bath home will especially delight kiteboarders and windsurfers who will be drawn to a community boat ramp with access to one of the sport’s most coveted waters.

Of course, it’s what’s at the home that will enthrall everybody else, starting with the raised pool deck vistas of the sound. Enter the home and find an elevator that makes move in and out a breeze. A game room, ideal for days when the sun is too hot or simply hiding, is located on the first level and features a pool table, four-seat card table, TV, kitchenette, and half-bath. 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. A few steps up from the living room is a additional loft with a four-seat table ... the ideal place to set up a puzzle or game. A wealth of windows open the room to an abundance of light while multiple fans whir overhead to create a gentle breeze. For nature’s version, step outside on the furnished deck and let the iconic breezes from Pamlico Sound remind you of why you chose to book CHOCOLATE SUNDAE.

Tricks and tips to get the best Hatteras vacation home experience:

Cost saving strategies:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• To find the most suitable rental for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Hatteras attractions.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer renters an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area visitor guides which will include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Planning, picking, and booking the right Hatteras rental:

• Select vacation dates and spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration your family needs. Semi-Soundfront Dog Friendly Home with Dock Access, Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator has 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible online. If they are not listed, reach out to the property manager before you book the property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to work out what configuration is optimal for your trip.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you'll need to search for a pet-friendly property. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge additional pet fees.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters with amenity lists. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking

Advice for a fantastic stay:

• Take a copy of the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home. Store the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many concerns.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let crooks spoil your vacation.
• To ensure that damages are not linked to your stay, note any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the rental manager right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors bothering your peace and quiet. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to make sure you've collected all personal items. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was amiss and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
