The Tip Sea Mermaid is a completely refreshed beach home in Salvo located on a corner lot just 200 feet from the shining Atlantic Ocean. While the interior of this oceanside getaway is top-notch, it's the outdoor areas that will really make your next vacation one for the books. From the multiple decks and hot tub to the roomy backyard with fire pit, there are plenty of opportunities for spending quality time with family and friends. Parlor in the sun and savor an ocean view from the broad rooftop observation deck, or relax in the shade with a good book on the screened-in porch. Either way, you'll feel the exhilarating salty breezes and hear the sound of crashing waves. When it's time to hit the beach, use the Quay Street public access located just a three-min. walk from the home. Load up the beach cart to comfortably transport your coolers, toys and gear for a full day of sun, sand and surf. Inside, this classic bungalow has been completely modernized and furnished with beach-lovers in mind. Upgrades include a brand new kitchen with quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, an updated primary bath with bespoke tile work, and LVP floor that runs throughout the entire home. Thoughtful design choices like shiplap walls, fun accent colors and coastal-themed wallpaper all tie together for that modern beach home vibe. Outside, a sizable fenced-in backyard is ideal for cookouts and yard games. In the evenings, gather the family around the fire pit to plan the next day's adventures, or relax with a calming soak in the hot tub before heading off to bed. Bed and bath linens are always supplied at no additional charge, and the beds will be made with fresh sheets and pillowcases prior to your arrival. The Tip Sea Mermaid is located in Hatteras Colony on the northern end of Salvo, where the pristine beaches are wide and uncrowded. While the location is ideal for guests looking for a remote and natural setting, it's still within a mile radius from watersports, surf stores, a market and deli, take-out options, ice cream and the trendy Watermen's Bar & Grille. Slightly farther north you'll find even more dining and shopping options in the town of Rodanthe. Be sure to set aside a day for a trip to Cape Hatteras, where you can climb the lighthouse, go driving on the beach, or hop on a ferry to Ocracoke. No family pets allowed. No smoking/vaping.

Tips for getting the perfect Hatteras vacation home experience:

Sticking to your rental budget:

• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups book their Summer rental homes during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Booking in Spring or Fall is a good way to save on your vacation. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers usually offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Hatteras area magazine when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Selecting the perfect vacation rental:

• Select a group lead, select your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. The Tip Sea Mermaid: Hot Tub
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is usually available online. If not, email or call the property management company before reserving the property. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what configuration is optimal for your family.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or costs could be applied to your invoice.
• Does your family require particular amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
