SOUNDSIDE Buxton — Feel complimentary as a bird when you settle into THE ROOST, a five-bedroom/five- and one-half-bath home with nothing between it and a private sound beach except a lush, forested ridge. While the thicket of trees provides loads of privacy, the shallow waters of the sound offer an abundance of possibilities, a welcome getaway for paddleboarders, wind and kite surfers, and families with kids, alike.

Upon arrival, release the dogs (two are welcome) to sniff things out in the fenced-in yard while you make use of the convenient elevator to move groceries and suitcases to the second level. The ground-level, fish cleaning station with lights and water will be a welcome sight for those who plan to fish. Those looking for a more languid pace will find it in the screened-in tiki bar area with seating, a TV, and a dart board to keep things interesting. You’ll find a private path to the water’s edge and an outdoor shower and foot wash station to keep things tidy when you return. Stairs leading to the first level reveal a 7-person hot tub to soak in the serenity.

Two ensuite master king bedrooms and a bedroom with a full and twin bed with access to a hallway bathroom also occupy the first level. These rooms appreciate close access to a media room featuring a 75” Intelligent 4K TV, puzzles and games, and a minifridge, stand-alone ice machine, and microwave to keep snacks and drinks at the ready.

The final two bedrooms, both ensuite master kings, are located on the second level and offer private upper deck access to catch the sensational sound sunsets. They also offer instant access to the home’s great room, an open communal space that brings everybody together for precious family time. There’s a pretty living area with comfortable seating providing ideal sight lines to the 75” Intelligent TV. The cavernous and well-equipped kitchen encourages a group cooking effort to bring your vacation meals to the table, a long eight-seat one, with three more at the breakfast bar. Savor dining outside on the deck as well, where a six-seat table accepts you to savor the feast in front of you, including the one for your eyes as you gaze out onto the sound. As you do, watch the marsh birds come home to roost and be glad you booked THE ROOST so that you’ll have this memory forever.

New for 2024: New great room furnishings. New kitchen refrigerator. New under-home tiki bar area with TV and new seating. New Constructed-to-Last deck chairs on the upper deck.

Tips and Tricks for getting the perfect rental home experience:

When to book a Hatteras rental & When to go:

• Summer months are the most expensive season in the Hatteras area. Booking your vacation home in Fall or Spring months is a great way to save money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer vacations during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Look for your local Hatteras visitors guide upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have deals for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

How to choose the best vacation rental:

• Select your vacation week and budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family requires. Soundside - Dog Friendly 5 Bedroom with Hot Tub and Private Sound Access has 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed types is commonly accessible on booking pages. If not, email the host before you book the rental. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a specific Hatteras destination you are enamored with, browse homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Remember to include your furry companions! 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 thoroughly! Additional pet fees or charges could be applied to your contract.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• During arrival, document any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many concerns.
• Be respectful. Often times, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would at home.
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed everything on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager is not available, remember to take video and pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your family have a great time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your feedback.
