About this Property

Welcome to the historic Outer Banks Motel's Village Accommodations! Every bungalow on this property was constructed on the owner's family property which is the fabric of Cape Hatteras. These cottages offer more space and privacy to savor your vacation at a lower price than that of our Oceanside Accommodations given that they are located a mile from the beach. They are constructed on high ground sheltered from the effects of the occasional storm that we're famed for. On clear nights, the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse light blankets the starry skies every seven seconds. All the amenities, such as the saltwater pool and hot tub on the Oceanside Accommodations are supplied.
This duplex known as the Maude-Estes House was newly rebuilt to be a better version of the historic home that stood in this footprint for nearly a century. Each half is a mirror floorplan of each other. Access the front entrance by climbing a few bespoke brick and stone steps between the rose bushes to the front porch, which features a rocking chair and a porch swing. Upon entering, off to the side, there's the living room with comfortable seating and a Intelligent T.V. Beyond the living room, enter the full kitchen through the bespoke arched hallway. Full stainless steel kitchen appliances with all the pots, pans, dishes and silverware included. Off the kitchen is a half-bath with a full-sized coin-operated washer and dryer for your convenience. Access to the back patio is off the kitchen, as well. Back to the front entrance, straight ahead through the door is the full staircase to the second floor. Second floor has a master suite with a full bathtub and shower with a Intelligent T.V., a second bedroom and another full bathroom, The third-floor staircase accesses the private loft bedroom with vistas of the Pamlico Sound through the windows. There's ample parking on the property. Family Animals are not allowed in the duplex.

Strategies for getting the perfect rental experience:

Getting the most from your rental budget:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To book the most suitable rental for your budget, we suggest booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• Reserve your rental as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open 12 months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Booking websites typically offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area travel guides which often include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Use filters to narrow your rental search:

• Select your vacation week and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. Village Accomodations - 2 Bedroom Duplex has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property management company before booking your rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is right for your family.
• Does your group require special amenities? Most websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are included before reserving a rental
• Are you bringing the family pet? 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. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges could be applied to your contract.

Additional considerations:

• Be sure you get the host's contact number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property. Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To ensure that damages are not attributed to your family's stay, record any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the host right away to report any issues. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, intercom or washer/dryer. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent quite a few problems.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and places you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can frequently help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Lock your vacation home while you are out and about. Protect your property!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the property to reconfirm you've collected all personal items. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave feedback! Property managers rely on good feedback to inspire more bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
