SOUNDSIDE Avon — W. Sunfish Ct. — New for 2024! — The ideal blend of idyllic Cape Cod appeal and Hatteras Island coastal comfort? Yes, please! BEACH DAY RETREAT, a distinctive three-bedroom/two-bath bungalow delivers on both with loads of family-friendly amenities to inspire a carefree and memorable hideaway.

It’s simple to spot the pitched, red-roofed home as you pull into the peaceful cul-de-sac in Avon Village. Bring your dog and favorite yard games ... a roomy, grassy lawn is ideal for both. Your kids will appreciate the bicycle-friendly neighborhood and you’ll adore the gated area under the home to keep younger kids, dogs, and your watersport equipment safe and secure. There’s also an outdoor shower and wash sink here for an painless beach day cleanup. A few steps up to the first level reveals BEACH DAY RETREAT’S main living space including a great room that features an inviting couch and chairs as well as a Intelligent TV. A section of the coffee table pops up to provide a great workstation for those who can’t escape computer time. The kitchen, outfitted with portable Bluetooth® speakers so you can stream your favorites from wherever you may be, is well-equipped to accommodate your favorite vacation meals that can be served at the four-stool kitchen counter, at a six-person table in the sunroom, and another counter that seats four. Two bedrooms - a freshly furnished queen and one with two single bunk beds - are also located on this level and share a hallway full bath. The third bedroom, an ensuite king featuring a private bath is located on the second level along with a media room with wood-beamed cathedral ceilings, a roomy sectional couch, a Intelligent TV, and a bookcase loaded with books, games, and puzzles. There is also access to a second-level deck through the top level with stairs connecting it to the main deck. All of the bedrooms feature Intelligent TVs.

Favorite local eateries of Avon Village and the Pamlico Sound’s opportunities for watercraft adventures are right around the corner. Guests of BEACH DAY RETREAT also have access to the Kinnakeet Shores community pool and tennis courts. But it may be the home’s marvelous sun decks that will draw you in to relax in the 6-person hot tub, sink into an Adirondack chair with a good book, or soak in those vitamin D rays.

Our top Hatteras rental booking tips and tricks:

Sticking to your spending plan:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer is the most expensive season in the Hatteras area. To get the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer warm weather, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies supply Hatteras area visitor guides which often include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning and choosing your prefect Hatteras rental:

• Start by choosing the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. Soundside - Dog Friendly 3BR w\/ Hot Tub and Community Pool & Tennis Court has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible online. If not, email or call the property owner before booking the property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds.
• Some properties allow pets, but others do not. Allowable types of pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask your host about pets before booking.
• If there's a particular Hatteras destination you simply love, search for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater to your desires.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental

Have a wonderful stay:

• Take a copy of the property manager's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental home.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would at home.
• Upon arrival, document any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your peace. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all of your things. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, take pictures of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Remember to leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to inspire future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your experience find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
