The Tip Sea Mermaid is a entirely modernized 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 cavernous backyard with fire pit, there are plenty of opportunities for spending quality time with family and friends. Parlor in the sun and appreciate 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 conveniently transport your coolers, toys and gear for a full day of sun, sand and surf. Inside, this classic bungalow has been completely refreshed 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 included 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.

Tricks and tips for getting the perfect Hatteras vacation home experience:
How to get the best value:
- June, July, and August are high season in the Hatteras area. To find the best value, shift your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
- Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
- Property management companies sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
- Property management companies frequently offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
- Look for your local Hatteras visitors guide magazine when you check-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 information, visitor guide magazines have coupons for nearby accommodations and attractions.
Planning and choosing the rightvacation home:
- Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
- Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. The Tip Sea Mermaid: Hot Tub
- Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often accessible on booking websites. If they are not listed, contact the property management company before booking the vacation property. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
- Does your group require particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters for amenities.
- Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
- Some properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the owner about pet restrictions before booking.
More considerations for your visit:
- Add the property manager's information to your phone. Take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
- To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas during arrival. Make contact with the property manager immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be very helpful.
- Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
- Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local spots.
- Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
- Ensure you protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
- Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
- Inspect the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the property manager isn't available, remember to take pictures of the property to record its condition.
- Did your group have a fantastic time? Most rental managers make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
