Stylish, calming and private, step back in time at the "Old Bach," an oceanfront 1975 trapezoidal A-frame, overlooking the massive double dune of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.

Inspired by Chris's childhood summers in New Zealand at his family's bach (a rustic beach bungalow, pronounced "batch"), we newly gut-remodeled and completely modernized the home, while maintaining the original appeal and character. The Old Bach is located on a enormous, private oceanfront lot at the end of a peaceful, private street. There is off-street parking for 3-4 cars, including the carport under the home.

Our recent remodel involved flipping the floor plan to create a huge, open living area on the top floor, with a full kitchen, dining banquette, and comfortable living room with a huge flat-screen intelligent TV. The living room opens to an enormous deck and pergola complete with a dining table and a comfortable sectional. From the deck you can glimpse the ocean between the dunes.

Downstairs, the staircase is open to the front hall and the cozy TV room, with another sizable flat-screen intelligent TV. There are two queen bedrooms on this level, as well as a stacking washer and dryer, a full bath with a corner shower, and the primary suite. Located in what was originally a sizable covered porch, the primary bedroom and bathroom are surrounded by windows. The en-suite primary bathroom features an additional large soaking tub with a shower, and a toilet with a bidet attachment.

The home features all new plumbing, electric, appliances, floor, HVAC, kitchen, bathrooms, and paint. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and premium natural stone quartzite countertops. Both bathrooms have terrazzo floor tiles, handmade wall tiles, and oak console vanities with cast concrete basins.

There is a shady deck with a hammock under the home, as well as two outdoor showers: an open shower where the beach path meets the home, and a private double shower with a changing area. The beach is accessed by a trail leading through the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and over the dunes to the pristine beach.

There are numerous good eateries and modest markets within walking distance. A bigger supermarket is available in close by Avon to the south, or Nags Head to the north.

We newly purchased The Old Bach and refreshed it together as a labor of appreciate. It is our enjoyment to share it with you, but we are looking for discerning guests who value privacy, well-designed spaces, and mutual respect.

Booking the best Hatteras rental experience:

Money saving strategies:

• Booking your vacation rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is a good way to save money on your rental home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Book your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your group qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. 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 articles, visitor guides have money saving offers on nearby accommodations and attractions.

How to select the best rental in the Hatteras area:

• Start by having your group choose the best dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and the configuration your group needs. Stylish Oceanfront 70s A-Frame, Fully Renovated has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, contact the property owner before booking the rental. Note that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches.
• Visiting for a specific attraction? Use a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available and included before booking
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must book a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.

Additional considerations:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Save the instructions to your phone, and take a printed backup.
• To make certain damages are not attributed to your stay, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. E-mail the host right away to record any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers disrupting your peaceful home. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great restaurants and attractions you would've never otherwise known about!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all belongings at departure. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide feedback. If your property and/or host was terrific, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
