SEMI-SOUNDFRONT Salvo — Wind Over Waves — With the grace of a mermaid and the heart of a lion, MERLION HAVEN pulls off the ideal balance as a sanctuary of calm and a base for energetic pursuits. Located in an fresh community of charming homes that share a 100’ pier and boat ramp on Pamlico Sound, this six-bedroom/seven-full and one-half bath home is walkable to the ocean beach. The sound and its draw for kiteboarders and windsurfers is effortlessly within reach, too. This is a place where minds soar and life flourishes.

Choosing which body of water to spend your days must include the private pool, surrounded by a picnic table and plenty of new chaise lounges. Work up a sweat shooting hoops at the basketball goal then cool off in the outdoor shower before ratcheting up the competition in the ground level game room. Shoot pool for a while, then wind down with a snack and drink you’ve fixed in the wet bar before watching the Intelligent TV in the den area. There’s also a full bath and laundry facilities on this level.

Five of the home’s bedrooms occupy the first level. Three of the bedrooms are ensuite queens, two of which have access to the deck. There’s also an ensuite king, along with a bunk room with access to the deck and a full bathroom in the hallway. The final bedroom, an ensuite king, is located on the second level and has direct access to a 4-person hot tub and upper deck. All of the bedrooms feature TVs and new décor.

Entertain your huge plans for making family memories — or entertaining visiting friends — in the very cavernous great room, located on the top level. There’s a well-equipped kitchen that can conveniently accommodate more than one prepare at mealtime. Gather around the eat-at kitchen counter that seats four, outside at the picnic table, or the 10-seat dining table that brings everybody together for leisurely meals and laughter. As the evening winds down, retire to the comfortable sectional to catch up on your favorite shows on the enormous flat-screen Intelligent TV or onto the deck for vistas of the sound that never fail to make a memorable impression. You can impress, too, by booking MERLION HAVEN for a vacation your family will always remember.

Our top Rental home tips:

Sticking to your rental home budget:

• To book the best rental home within budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at Hatteras restaurants, beaches, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras area magazine upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guide magazines contain offers and deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to choose and book a perfect Hatteras rental home:

• Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Semi-Soundfront in Salvo w/ Private Pool, Hot Tub, and Game Room has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible online. If they are not listed, call the property management company before reserving the home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. .
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or costs might be applied to your agreement.

Tips for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• To make certain that no damages are attributed to your family's visit, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. Contact the rental manager immediately to relay any issues. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night noise limits and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean 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.
• Did your group have a terrific vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was terrific, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix 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.
