We had a great time at the property. The home was perfect for four guys to spend a week kiting in the sound. We had good wind and a great time, the home owners were easy to work with. They refunded our full security deposit within a week of leaving the property. The Atlantic Coast Cafe across the street was a great breakfast/lunch spot. Hattteras Island surf and sail across the street was a great place to launch and hang out, the owner Barton is great for lessons advice and rentals/sales kiting or windsurfing.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, pet owners, families with young children, adventure seekers.

This was our first time visiting the Outer Banks, and we didn't know what to expect. The owners of this house were very accommodating with our vacation schedule and it was very easy to complete the rental transaction. We were thrilled to find out that this house is right in the middle of everything the Outer Banks has to offer. Both the sound and ocean are a short walk away. It is located away from the more touristy towns of Nags Head and Kitty Hawk, which means less traffic and quieter beaches. It is also close to the more southern attractions like Hatteras and Ocracoke, which were our favorites. The house was clean, bright and cheerful. There was plenty of space for all six of us. The kitchen had everything we needed, including a large table that sat us all. We were also glad there was a washer and dryer. This home was very affordable and was the perfect place for our family. We are so glad we happened upon it, and would definitely return in the future.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Amy, we are so happy your family had a wonderful first time experience here on the Outer Banks. We love the area for the same reasons as you. We look forward to seeing you and your family again. Sandy and Skip

What a perfect place to spend our first Easter away from home! We spent Easter Day on the beach with only a short walk from the house. After a day on the sand I was able to prepare a fabulous Seafood Feast for Easter dinner with compilation of all locally caught fresh seafood. The kitchen is very well equipped and I was not lacking for anything. The house is very warm and welcoming and we got a good night's sleep every night ! We can not wait to make our way back down to stay at your wonderful home again!Owner response: We are so glad you had a wonderful Easter Holiday and enjoyed the house. We look forward to seeing you again.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2005
About the owner: Sandy and Skip started vacationing on Hatteras on in the early seventies. They immediately knew, this is where they wanted to retire! In 1999. their dream came true! They relocated from Northern Virginia to Waves and built the home of their dreams. After living on the island for a short time, an opportunity to purchase a neighbor's well maintained home was presented to them. Jumping on the chance, they named their 2nd home 'Like Nothing Else'.
Why the Owner Chose Waves:
'We love Waves and the friendly atmosphere of the tri-village communities', says Sandy and Skip. They found their home in Waves. No doubt you will, too!
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage:
Soon after Sandy and Skip purchased 'Like Nothing Else', they began updating the home with new appliances, bedding, etc., and are continuing to redecorate keeping it fresh and new. 'Like Nothing Else' sets on a quiet well maintained street within walking distance of restaurants. The large screened-in porch allows guests to enjoy the ocean breeze no matter what time of year it si. The covered 'crows nest' lends a spectacular view of both the ocean and the sound.
