This is my dream house I bought back in 2001. I put in a pool and a hot tub and renovated it inside and out and my kids love coming here. We live in Virginia Beach but we really LOVE Hatteras! You and your kids will too. Right on the Ocean and the rates are great. Come and experience what makes Hatteras Island so special.
Hurricane Irene came and went and left no lasting damage to this house, thank goodness! And so now we are accepting reservations for 2012.....We are filling up quickly. Some of the prime summer and spring weeks are still available.. Last summer we were fully occupied so reserve NOW to guarantee your week and rate.......
Hatteras Island and all its beauty and widlife will be ready for you and your family this season. And there is a new inlet and bridge to see! Wow!
This is a beautiful Oceanfront house with sleeping in beds for 9 people. Extra sleeping for 2 is available in the Futon in the loft. Sleep sofa add 2 more.
This is the perfect house for one family or two families that want to spend a week together at the Outer Banks.
We are right on the beach in Waves , about a mile south of the Rodanthe pier.
There are two bedrooms on the second level next to the kitchen and dining room. Then there are two bedrooms on the top floor next to the great room. The fourth floor is a loft with a futon.
Oh, and the waves are great right out in front of the house if you surf or boogie board. Surfing lessons anyone?
My Kids love the Large 16x34 foot SWIMMING POOL, close proximity to the beach,(our own private path see the PHOTOS), the killer hot tub with ocean views, and the Dairy Queen for after dinner ice cream just a bike ride or skateboard or stroll up the street. It is a comfortable Oceanfront house with nothing between you and the ocean except sand!
4 bedrooms ( plus "pool room", which really is a 5th bedroom) and 3 baths with an outdoor shower.
The water is clean and green and the ocean is fabulous right in front of the house.
The owner"s profile picture is of me and my surfboard and dog on the beach right in front of the house. National Seashore, turtles, manta rays.....surfing, sun bathing 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!!)
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.
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, kitesurfing, 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 sports 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 your 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.

Best Kept Secret

If you are undecided about where to spend your vacation time with your family, let me be the tie breaker. This is a lovely home and we enjoyed every minute of our precious time. In this economy, this is one place where you will enjoy the value of the beach, scenery, and size of the home. We are big time foodies, and after reading the other reviews and speaking with the owner, we were wise to bring our own wine, spices, cheeses, etc., but, the house is well stocked if you arrive late. For families with younger children, there are resonably priced beach restaurants. We really enjoyed watching the sun set while sipping wine - just hop across the street and find a place to enjoy some serious camera shots. Trust me, this is one of those best kept secrets!

A Magical Spring Break Week

Our family of 5 (2 parents, 1 teenager, a 10-year old and a grandma) and 2 dogs (a black lab and a black pug) enjoyed this rental to the fullest. The property is well-appointed, clean and well-maintained, but most importantly, very comfortable. You can have coffee in the am on the first floor deck (after you take a long walk on the beach which is virtually in your backyard), then read in the late afternoon on the second floor deck, or have a turn in the hot tub while you look out at the beach. We loved the location - Waves has a remote, unspoiled feeling, but you can get to Hatteras within a half hour, over to Roanoke Island in about the same amount of time, or up to Kitty Hawk in about 45 minutes. Then you get to go home to "Gone With the Wind" and listen to the wind and the waves, and not the traffic.....We would love to return....

Our 2010 vacation Waves

Review Submitted: 11/15/10
Our vacation this year started out waiting for hurricane Earl to get out of the area. There was an evacuation for this one, our second time evacuation the week before our vacation time. Tree’s (my wife) brother and his family were not able to make the trip this year so it was just four of us my son Chris, me my wife and her friend Vickie. Since it was just the four of us we all rode in our truck. I wanted to get an early start to beat the DC traffic (labor day week-end) so we left York Pa around 4am. We got as far as Glen Rock exit and realized we forgot my wife’s purse. Turn around go back and get to leave house at 4:50, not what I wanted. But the drive went smooth and we got through DC before traffic jam (we were lucky). By the time we reached Richmond area it was time to stop for breakfast. We tried Waffle House first, not good we waited for about 15 min and still not waited on so we left and drove to pancake house. Good choice great breakfast for fuel to get us on our way again. The rest of the drive to the Outer Banks went very smooth no traffic jams. We get to the island early excited and knowing the house would not be ready yet we took our time and checked out the sites on the way. When we get past Bodie lighthouse traffic stopped, Hatteras Island not open to visitors yet. [img width=300]http://obx411.net/uploads/extgallery/public-photo/medium/P9080043_2_e861e.JPG[/img] Hey we are on vacation just relax and wait. It took a couple of hours to get across the bridge and get to Waves where our rental is located. Still early when we get there but decide to look see what house looked like. To our surprise the house cleaner was there, so me my friendly self started talking and the cleaning lady let us know the house was ready for us as much as could be after storm. We told her we would take care of putting outside furniture back in place and cleaning up around pool. We were so happy to be at house that was no problem for us. The house is not a big fancy house like some of the OBX homes but it was homey clean and comfortable. Chris and Vickie each took a room on the second floor where the kitchen and dinning room are. Theresa’s and my room was on the third floor by the living / family room hot tub outside on the deck.. There is a gorgeous view of the ocean from the deck. I unpacked kitchen items and Tree took care of suitcase, but I could not find my bag of camera and laptop cords. I was bummed I’m a geek and to think of the whole week without. Oh well I

The Summer Wind, Came Rollin' In...

We entered the home in the evening and after lugging some bags inside began to explore the house. The poster of Bob Dylan and the Dan Merkel-style photos of big surf let us know of the spirit of the homes' owners. We neglected to bring our dog this first time around being uncertain of the environment; but at that point, I started to wish Cosmo (our chocolate Lab) had made the journey. Next time, Cozzie. We had a week of sunshine and rain, about 50/50, but could not have had a better place to experience the Autumn of the Outer Banks. During overcast or rainy days, we made the quick trip up to the beach and walked the shoreline in the mist, close enough to home to make it back if the weather kicked up. The sunny days were spent half at the ocean, half by the pool, each in near solitude due to our location. Nights were a real pleasure on the deck watching the fishing boat lights on the ocean horizon and counting the stars from the hot tub - we were truly at peace. The town is big enough to not leave you wanting for the necessities, but small enough where the traffic is unnoticed and there is an evident local feel among the folks living there. I grew up in a seaside resort area and to see this brought back memories of what my hometown used to be before it's popularity made it "tourist-y". Luckily, this has not happened here yet. This time it was just the two of us as we were on a discovery mission for future family vacations, and think we've got the place. The kitchen area has great counters for large meal preparation and the separation of bedrooms by floor will permit everyone to execute their own agenda. You can also feel safe letting the younger crowd wander freely without concern for their well being. Activities ranging from kite boarding to surf fishing to dune buggy rental are very close and the nightlife scene seems easily available, though we spent little time in that pursuit and just enjoyed each other's company. Our one complaint is not one involving the house at all - its the local dining. The seasonal help is a tough crew to train and most of the food we found was, well, not what I had hoped for or expected, so I recommend cooking at home and fortunately the house is perfectly equipped and suited for that. Luckily, the Village Grocery in Avon is a remarkably stocked store with niche-y products and everything you could possible want - worth a trip. Needless to say, we will return to this home our next trip to the Outer Banks. Highly recommended.

We LOVED IT HERE! I took my family and our dogs, it was beautiful! We vacation every few months, and would definetely recommend this place to friends and return one day! We were blessed with 75 degree weather the first week of April and spent time in the pool and on the beach! There is also a nice work out room, off from the pool. Private, with free weights, and TV, and stereo. Also has private bathroom! I could have spent my whole week there. But the house had awesome vies, even saw the moon rise every morning over the ocean.

We stayed at "Gone With the Wind" in early August, 2005. Luckily we had a week between hurricanes! The house is well maintained. We had 7 people staying at the house and it was a perfect size. The pool is wonderful. The walk to the beach is over a sand dune - not a lot of fun when it's hot and humid, but not impossible. The pool room is great - especially if you are travelling with teenagers - they will love it for its privacy.

The perfect vacation retreat--convenient enough to make a quick getaway but isolated enough to allow for total relaxation. The home is beautiful and the extensive "extras" that are provided make for a wonderful vacation.
