Now booking for
spring and Summer of 2010. Rates if you book early will be substantially lower than we rented this house for in 2009 and we were were fully booked this last summer. we usually are fully booked by the end of January so if you want your pick of weeks book now.
This house is the perfect spot for a family vacation on the OCEANFRONT. We bought this house as a second home for our family in 2001 and completely renovated it to suit our needs. We use it whenever we can and the kids love the Large 16x34 foot SWIMMING POOL, close proximity to the beach,(our own private path), the killer hot tub with ocean views, and the Dairy Queen for after dinner ice cream just a bike ride up the street. It is a comfortable Oceanfront front house with nothing between you and the ocean except sand!
5 bedrooms and 3 baths with an outdoor shower.
Sleeps 9 in beds and 2 in a sleep sofa. Little kids can crash in the loft.
The water is clean and green in this part of the Ocean. A long way from pollutants and runoff. National Seashore, turtles, manta rays......and there is good surfing and boogy-boarding right in front of the house.
This location is in Waves, NC, about a mile south of the Rodanthe pier on Hatteras Island. Just turn toward the Ocean off Hwy 12 at the Dairy Queen.
The house borders directly on the beach. It is only a short walk over magnificent dunes to the water's edge.
YOU CAN'T GET ANY CLOSER TO THE BEACH THAN THIS HOUSE,IT IS OCEANFRONT.(We are always getting questions, "is it on the ccean?" Yes!!)
Be sure to view all 16 photos on this website . The first photo of the house is taken from the top of the dune, at the photographer's back is a few steps to the water's edge.
There are 4 bedrooms and three bathrooms, with a pullout sleep-sofa in the pool side room which serves as a 5th bedroom at night. There is a futon in the loft.
The 34 by 16 foot swimming pool is one of the largest and most beautiful on the island. There is also a screened-in porch off the kitchen that looks out over the pool, a south facing third floor sundeck with a hot tub and epic views of the Atlantic, and a fireplace on the third floor for the cooler spring and fall nights.
On the ground floor off the pool deck, the pool room has its own bath,refrigerator, TV and queen size sleeper sofa. During the day this room is a play room and an exercise area with free weights and at night this can serve as a fifth bedroom, with its own bathroom and a nice view of the pool.
The house features pillowtop mattresses and feather pillows so we can listen to the sound of the ocean from comfortable beds. (Have you ever vacationed and slept on a hard bed----Not here!) With the four bedrooms and the pool room serving as a bedroom, the house can sleep 11 comfortably. The loft can accomodate a couple of kids but we discourage parties larger than 10 people. This is not one of those new giant 8 bedroom monster houses they have been building in recent years. It is smaller and more intimate. We encourage smaller groups so the house can live larger. If you have 14 people you need a bigger house.
There are excellent views of the ocean from just about anywhere on the third floor and loft, from inside or out on the decks. You can see the ocean while lounging in the hot tub! On the second level there is a large dining area and fully stocked kitchen, with views of the pool and dunes from inside or from the deck or screened in porch.
The high cathedral ceiling on the third floor and large trapezoid windows combine to give a feeling of space to the top floor like a ski chalet. We watched a meteor shower once from inside the house just looking up through the high windows. Spectacular!
For those of you who have been to Hatteras Island, you probably already know that it is the premier destination on the East Coast if you are into fishing, surfing, windsurfing, beaching, catching rays, kite-flying, sitting by the pool, grilling, shelling, bonfires on the beach (yes it's legal Or maybe you just want to sit and watch a football game or a movie on the HDTV big screen( with a DVD player and VCR )while listening to and looking out over the ocean, or check you e-mail (yes we have wireless!), or simply enjoying the sound of the ocean with a good book. We do all of these things and more in the comforts of a Oceanfront home with virtually all the amenities.
We have 16 photos here...please call at first number below during the week or second number below on weekends if you have further questions.
Pets are welcome if housebroken and on flea preventative treatment like frontline or advantage. A $500 damage and cleaning deposit will be required and returned in full if the home is left clean and undamaged. We also require a &100 dollar charge for linen service. Bring towels.
Crossing over the Bonner Bridge onto Hatteras Island you leave the other world behind. We hope your experience is as satisfying as it has been for us.
