SOUNDFRONT AVON – Portside Drive – Located on one of the best private kite beaches in Kinnakeet Shores, TWINTIP, a 3,400-sq.-ft. home is both serene and exhilarating. Wind-seekers can launch a kite or windsurf right from the sandy area behind the home. On windless days, kayakers and stand-up paddleboarders will appreciate the Pamlico sound. Cavernous and intimate, this six-bedroom, six full and one half-bathroom home is ideal for groups of friends or multi-generational families with kids. The gentle waters of the sound, private sandy beach, and 24-foot pool constitute the ultimate playground.

Indoors, the first level offers a cavernous game room with a pool table, kitchenette, and laundry room. The first level bedroom is equipped with two bunk beds and a shared full bathroom. On the second level, four ensuite bedrooms each have a TV and direct deck access. The six-person hot tub is a magnet at the end of the day as the sun sets over the sound. A fifth bedroom on this level features a queen size bed and access to the deck and hot tub.

On the light-filled third level, you will gather in the home’s great room, kitchen, and dining area to renew connections and savor convivial conversation. Take in the sound vistas from floor-to-ceiling windows as you create memorable meals in a roomy kitchen featuring a breakfast island and brand-new stainless appliances. The deck features lavish vistas of the sound, sunsets, and wildlife. The main bedroom with ensuite bathroom offers both sunrise and sunset vistas. A comfortable reading nook above the great room offers a working space and striking vistas east and west.

TwinTip is a short drive from an impressive supermarket and public beach access. The Kinnakeet Shores community also enjoys two tennis courts and a 50 meter Olympic-sized pool.

Strategies to get the best rental experience:

Find your best deal:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer time is high season in the Hatteras area. To find the best value, shift your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Hosts and Property managers sometimes offer discounts for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies frequently offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Look for your local Hatteras visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines contain money saving offers on local tours, shops, and attractions.

Planning, picking, and booking your prefect Hatteras vacation home:

• Begin by selecting your the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Sound Front Dog Friendly House with Windsurfing Access, Pool, Hot Tub, Game Room has 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rental home search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email the host before you book the property. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Some properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about pet restrictions before booking.
• Does your group require unique amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Remember to confirm all required amenities are included before booking

Tips for your stay:

• Add the property manager's information to your phone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Lock your rental home while you are away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Record any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the property manager. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if there is a dispute.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a great resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Make sure to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. 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.
• Did you have a great vacation? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
