SOUNDSIDE Avon — Tarpon Dr. — New for 2024! — Conjure up the magic of your own childhood beach vacation memories at SANDY KEEKS, a three-bedroom/three-full and one-half bath home offering up a unique layout that can adeptly host two families with plenty of space for all. A prime neighborhood location between the ocean and sound provides plenty of options to fill your days; your only decision is which direction will be calling you first.

Both your kids and furry dog friends will savor the fenced-in backyard for fun and games. You’ll appreciate the shaded lower-level high-top tables and chairs to keep an eye on the action happening in the brand-new saltwater swimming pool and 6-person hot tub. A half-bath and outdoor shower are conveniently close by, and a washer/dryer is located on the ground level as well. Climb the stairs to the first level and discover a screened-in porch, a nostalgic harbinger of what you’ll find inside — a wood-beamed ceiling that inspires a camp-like ambiance. Make no mistake though, the completely refreshed kitchen with all new appliances, granite countertops, and soft-close cabinets is a modern delight for prepping meals. So is the enormous Intelligent TV, providing the ability to stream your favorite show in the comfort of a generously furnished great room. The adults in your group may want to claim this space as their own as two master bedrooms — an ensuite king and ensuite queen — occupy this level as well.

If the adults claim their space, so too should the kids, and the upper level provides the ideal hangout. Just up the spiral staircase is another TV, living area, and modest kitchen with a snack-worthy refrigerator, sink, and microwave. There’s also another queen bedroom and a kid’s nook featuring a pyramid bunk that shares a full bath. Both levels offer freshly furnished decks to appreciate the sunshine on the upper level or the shade below. Does Sandy Keeks bring back memories? Create new ones by booking it today.

Finding the best vacation property experience:

Finding your best deal:

• Reserving a rental home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a great way to save on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer rental homes during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Hatteras visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guides have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Soundside Avon - Dog Friendly, Private Swimming Pool, Hot Tub has 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is usually accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before reserving your home. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You'll need to determine what is right for your family.
• If there's a certain Hatteras attraction you simply love, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• If your group is traveling with pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Ask for details on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Considerations for your stay:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed copy.
• To make certain damages aren't linked to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Call the host right away to report your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually 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 BBQ?
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• Just prior to departing, take a walk-through to make sure you did not leave anything behind. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a great stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or host was great, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
