All Surf or Sound Realty guests have the option of renting beach gear at an amazing 45% discount for reservations up to 14 days! For example, if you rent $250 worth of beach gear, you only pay $140. That is $110 in savings! This offer is available for 2023 vacations arriving between May 20, 2023 – September 2, 2023.
What if I want more than $250 of Beach Gear?
You can order all the gear you want! Select what you want, and only pay the difference if the order is over $250.
What if I’m just staying a few days (less than a full week)?
While you can rent gear for any amount of days, the $250 credit only applies to stays of a week or more.
Does Surf or Sound Realty rent beach gear now?
Creating an amazing experience for our guests is our priority. With that in mind, we are partnering with VayK Gear to bring you this premier service.
What kind of gear can I order?
From bikes to beach equipment to water sports items and much more, VayK Gear has plenty of items to choose from to make your stay on Hatteras Island more fun!
How do I order my gear?
Once your reservation is confirmed, look for an email from Vayk Gear. Within this email you will find a customized link to select the gear you want for your stay.
Do I have to select my gear right after I book my house?
Don’t worry, you have time to think about what items you want! From the email to 48 hours prior to your arrival date, you can look around for which items will most benefit your vacation. Please be sure you make your selections by 48-hour deadline; otherwise VayK Gear cannot guarantee the availability of the items or that they will arrive the same day you do.
So you deliver it right to my rental home?
Yes! VayK Gear will deliver it on your arrival day. When you pack up to go back home, just leave the gear where you found it and they will pick it up, too!
Can I pick up my beach gear?
While you cannot pickup your beach gear, the ease of delivery means less stress for you on arrival day! Just roll in, unpack, and dive right into your vacation.
What if I need to change my beach gear selections?
Last minute changes can be made up to 4pm the day after your scheduled check in date. Please note, selection changes made up to 48 hours before your check in day are free of charge. Any changes made after this period incur a $50 late fee, and delivery will be made on the next scheduled delivery day. These last-minute changes are also subject to availability.
What happens if I don’t use all of the $250 credit?
This credit is only valid for this vacation, expiring 24 hours after you arrive so be sure to use all your credit!
Do I need to put down a deposit for the beach gear?
Deposits are not applicable, VayK Gear keeps a card on file for any damaged or lost gear.
Do I need to do anything with the gear when we depart?
The only thing you need to do is clean the equipment and put it in the same spot it was delivered. Vayk Gear will pick it up!
