The Sandlot (Previously known as Dune Boys)-

Stay right on the beach! Located just steps from the Atlantic Ocean is this completely refreshed 8 Bedroom, 4 Bathroom bungalow that sports amazing vistas, an oceanfront pool, hot tub, and roomy oceanfront trex deck.

The home is currently offered as a single family rental. Originally set up as duplex, a doorway INSIDE the home between the living rooms separates or connects the two sides. This accepts you to appreciate and share your space, but also gives you the convenience and separation should you choose!

The layout includes two identical sides. This means there are two entirely supplied kitchens (one on side), and two family rooms (one on each side), with a doorway connecting the two sides.

The home was modernized in 2022 to include brand new kitchen cabinets and countertops, new floors through the home, new paint, and a brand new master bathroom on both East and West sides spring 2023. New decking and new roof! The home feels brand new.

Each master bedroom has a king bed, and its own, striking, enormous private oceanfront covered balcony overlooking the pool and beach, with unobstructed vistas of the ocean. Each master bedroom has a brand new master bathroom put in the spring of 2023 with walk in shower, toilet, and single vanity.

Booking the best Havelock rental home experience:

When to visit & When to book:

• The earlier you can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. Reserve your rental in Fall or Spring months to enjoy gorgeous weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Some owners offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby accommodations and attractions.

Planning and picking the perfectrental home:

• Choose a group leader, select your vacation dates, and select a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration you need. The Sandlot- OCEANFRONT House w\/ Pool & Hot Tub, Amazing views. Beach access. has 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you book the vacation property. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull out couches in living rooms.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or costs might be applied to your agreement.
• If there's a certain Havelock beach you love, search for rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental

Considerations for your stay:

• Get the host's phone number and entry/exit procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents quite a few difficulties.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home when you are away, just like you would back home.
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your family's visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the rental manager immediately to record any issues. If there is a dispute, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific source for finding the best local attractions.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't forget any personal items. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and look for damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, ensure that you take video of the property to record its condition.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on great reviews to stimulate more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
