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-refreshed 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 master suite. Located in what was originally a sizable covered porch, the master bedroom and bathroom are surrounded by windows. The master 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.

PLEASE NOTE: We do not currently provide bed linens or towels, as we've found most of our guests prefer to bring their own. Bed linens and towels can be rented from Ocean Atlantic Units, along with a variety of other items, including beach chairs and umbrellas. We suggest you call in advance of your stay: 252-261-7368. They will give directions on the proper procedure before your departure. You can visit their website at oceanatlanticrentals.com for more information.

We newly purchased The Old Bach and remodeled 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.

Our top Hatteras rental home booking tips:

When to reserve a Hatteras rental home & When to go:

• Reserving a rental home in the Spring or Fall is a great way to save money on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of acceptable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season.
• The sooner your group can book a rental home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved early. Booking your rental six to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental property.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers often offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local Hatteras area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides have discounts for nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Stylish Oceanfront 70s A-Frame, Fully Renovated has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.

Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is suitable for your family.
• Visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to find nearby properties.

• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers bothering your peace. Apply 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! Neighbors can frequently point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed everything at check-out. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.

Alternatively, if something wasn't as described, other families will be thankful you shared your review find their best vacation rental. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
