Other Things to Note:
☆ Pet-Friendly Accommodations: We welcome pets for a fee of $150 per pet, per stay (maximum 2 dogs, each up to 50 lbs). A pet fee is applied to cover standard cleaning of pet hair. Please note: pets are not allowed on beds, and if pet hair is found on bedding, an additional cleaning fee will apply. If any waste beyond hair (such as urine or feces) is found, a $200 deep cleaning fee will be charged. Cleaning up after your pet is your responsibility, and pets should not be left unattended in the home, as barking may lead to neighbor complaints.
*Additional pet fees (plus tax) will be processed through our guest portal after your reservation is confirmed. Kindly let us know if you’ll be traveling with a pet. Thank you for your cooperation!
☆ Pests: Hatteras Island is home to midges, tiny seasonal bugs that are harmless and do not bite, but they can appear in large numbers. To keep them out, we recommend keeping doors closed as much as possible and turning off outdoor lights at night, as light attracts them. We regularly treat the area, but they may still be present outdoors. Bug spray is a great idea for enjoying the deck and outdoor areas. Additionally, snakes from the nearby marsh can occasionally be spotted. If you see one on the property, please contact us immediately, and we will arrange for animal control to remove it.
☆ Neighborhood Overview: Nestled in the peaceful and scenic town of Frisco, NC, the area around Pescadora offers a serene and inviting atmosphere perfect for those seeking a tranquil retreat. This charming neighborhood is surrounded by natural beauty, with stunning views of the sound, marshlands, and nearby waterways. Nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the abundance of opportunities for fishing, boating, and hiking in the nearby Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
The area is quiet and residential, offering a relaxed pace of life while still being close to local attractions. Guests can explore nearby beaches, enjoy local seafood restaurants, or take in the breathtaking views of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and other iconic Outer Banks landmarks. Whether you're looking to unwind in nature or embark on exciting outdoor adventures, this location offers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility to all the beauty and fun that the Outer Banks has to offer.
