Village Accomodations - 2 Bedroom Duplex - Vacation rental home in Buxton, NC

About this Property

• Sleeps 8
• 3 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Cottage

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 appreciate 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 freshly 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 supplied. 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 to get the best Hatteras rental home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during holiday gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• To book the best rental within your budget, we recommend reserving in Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rates, greater selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your group qualifies for a special rate.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local Hatteras visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitors guides contain coupons for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Selecting the best vacation rental in Buxton:

• Start by having your group select trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Decide how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Village Accomodations - 2 Bedroom Duplex has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is commonly available on booking websites. If they are not listed, reach out to the host before you book the rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of family pet, weight and breeds may be restricted, and additional fees may apply. Ask your host about pet restrictions before booking.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Put the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a hot tub, stereo or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent many difficulties.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let thieves ruin your trip.
• Record any issues with the rental at check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if damages are assessed.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You'll increase your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually a great resource to find the best local beaches and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can frequently help. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected everything. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, take video and pictures of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a fantastic time? Most rental managers make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
