SOUND FRONT Buxton — NC HWY 12 — That dream of gathering your extended family or closest friends for a hideaway that forges forever memories? It’s time. In fact, it’s ISLAND TIME PARADISE, an eight-bedroom/eight- and three-half-bath home that provides the ultimate Hatteras Island getaway to bring all your favorite people together.

Standing sentry over a private soundfront beach, this cavernous home has everything you need to savor the gentle pace of soundfront living in extravagant style. While the call of the sound to launch a kayak or windsurf could be strong, the pull of the private pool may win out. Choose a poolside chaise under sun or shade — there’s plenty of both — or opt for the deck revealing pristine sound vistas. Practice your game on the adjoining putting green, breaking for a soak in the new 7-person hot tub to keep those muscles loose. Refreshment is as close as the adjacent tiki bar, lined with stools to keep the banter as lively as the music you can pipe through the poolside speakers. Move the reverie inside to the game room, a haven for all ages to play pool, foosball or 60 classic arcade games. Grab a cold drink from the drink refrigerator in the kitchenette, fill it with ice from the ice maker and turn on the Intelligent TV. Too sedentary? An exercise room on this level gets you moving again on a recumbent NordicTrack® bicycle. Also on this level are three sumptuous king master bedrooms. All of the home’s bedrooms feature ensuite baths and Intelligent TVs.

The home is equipped with an elevator, easing movement between floors. You’ll find two more king master bedrooms on the second level, along with a handicap-friendly queen master featuring a day bed and private ensuite bathroom, and a bunk room featuring two pyramid bunk beds. Retire to the media room to channel-surf the 58-inch Intelligent TV or break out the cards at a multi-use game table. If it feels like a movie nighttime, the theater room with 12 plush reclining seats and a 120-inch projection screen will reel you into cinematic magic.

The home’s final bedroom, a king master, is on the top level, along with the majestic great room where walls of windows reveal striking sound vistas. A gorgeous chef’s kitchen featuring a gas burner prepare top, dual ovens, 2 dishwashers and ice machine is a delight to prep those big family meals. With a kitchen counter that seats five and a 14-seat dining table, gather everybody together and create those moments that become the memories of family legend. Settle into plush leather seating to stream your favorite shows on the great room’s 58-inch Intelligent TV or even better, catch the spectacular vistas of the brilliantly hued sunsets that signal the end of each day from a loft nook or the home’s wide, broad decks.

ISLAND TIME PARADISE welcomes two dogs to keep their families company. There’s no time like now to book and discover your heaven found.

Tips and Tricks to get the optimal rental experience:

When to go & When to book:

• The sooner your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Booking your rental property six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summertime is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To get the best value, change your family's Hatteras vacation dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Often, management companies supply Hatteras area visitors guides that include money-saving deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

How to choose the best rental in the Hatteras area:

• Start by selecting your potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Soundfront - Dog Friendly, Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator, Game Room & Theater Room has 9 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available online. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before you reserve the rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your trip.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Be aware that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your smartphone.
• Property managers are available to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your rental while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Document any damages to the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if a dispute arises.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You will magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors can be an excellent resource to find the best local spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently 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 bird watching?
• Double-check the vacation property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a wonderful time? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for customers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong 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 review.
