OCEANFRONT Waves - Thalassa Ave - There is no reason to draw a line in the sand when choosing a resort home for your family’s next beach vacation. That is because LAUGHING GULL LANDING requires no compromise — everything you want in a restorative getaway is here. With pops of blue evoking sea and sky, this five-bedroom, three full, one half bath, one outdoor half bath home offers a harmonious sense of place that invites you to relax, play and entertain both inside and out. Although the beach beckons just a few steps away, the newly reimagined pool area is a magnet for the whole family, drawing everybody together to swim in the enormous saltwater pool, chill in a chaise lounge chair, soothe tired bodies in the six-person hot tub, or take a exhilarating outdoor shower. Make a toast to togetherness with your favorite frozen beverages prepared in the blender at the poolside Tiki bar. A freshly added half-bath is located just off the new lounge area for added convenience. On the first floor of the home, you will find four bedrooms: one with two sets of bunk beds that shares a bath with a queen bedroom; another with two twin beds that shares a Jack-and-Jill bath with a queen bedroom.

Want to feel the sea breeze on your face? The first level deck obliges with comfortable seating to sit back, watch for dolphins and dream. You will quickly realize that no art can compete with the elegant ocean view that greets you from the great room’s floor-to-ceiling windows on the top level. Perhaps the view will inspire you to prepare a fresh catch-of-the-day feast in the open and airy kitchen, complete with a four-stool breakfast bar. Share it with your family around the 10/12 seat dining table, an oceanfront space that flows conveniently into the living area. Also on this level is a convenient half bath and a queen master bedroom suite with ocean vistas and access to the sun deck that runs the length of the home. Step outside the sliders and savor an countless panorama that reminds you how infinite contentment can be. Book LAUGHING GULL LANDING and find out for yourself.

Our top Hatteras rental home tips and tricks:

How to get the best rental home value:

• June, July, and August are high season in Waves. Booking your Hatteras vacation rental in the Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable properties.
• The sooner your group can book, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved very early. Reserving your vacation rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to purchase vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Find a copy of 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 information, travel guide magazines contain coupons for nearby tours and attractions.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• To start, have your family choose date ranges and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration you need. Oceanfront Home with Saltwater Pool, Hot Tub, and Tiki Bar has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before booking the rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to determine what bed configuration is best for your group.
• If there's a certain Hatteras destination you crave, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your desires.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.

Advice for your stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your .
• To make certain damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, inspect the property for any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the rental manager right away to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents many concerns.
• Be a good neighbor. Often, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Re-check the property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items at check-out. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take photographs of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent reviews to propel new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
