Overview
House, 4 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2.5 Baths, (Sleeps 10-12)
Moondance has something for everyone! Located on one of the most beautiful and unspoiled beaches on the East Coast you can spend your days doing everything a water sports lover can dream of or you can spend them doing nothing at all. With an excellent location one lot back from the beach, a private pool, and easy walking distance to Hatteras Water Sports (on the Pamlico Sound), your options are as unlimited as your imagination.
The beach activities do not have to end after dark either. Hatteras Island is one of the few places where you can build a fire on the beach at night - something the kids will always remember.
The house has a great view of the ocean as well as sunset views over the sound. Located in a neighborhood with big lots leaves plenty of open space for viewing the world around you.
The first floor has four bedrooms and two baths. The beds in the two main bedrooms are pillowtops - one king and one queen. Bedroom number three has two twin beds and number four has two sets of bunk beds. Each bedroom has its own TV for additional privacy when you need to retire. The deck on this floor also has a swing for relaxing.
The upstairs great room is perfect for unwinding after a long day on the beach. Mix a cold beverage, turn on your ipod (bluetooth available), sit back and enjoy the commanding view of the ocean.
Some of the additional amenities available to you are the private pool, a great basketball court, a six-person hot tub, and approximately 75 movies to choose from.
Here are some quotes from previous renters:
'We were overwhelmed by this great place you have. The pics. don't do it justice.'
'The house was great for both the adults and children. We stayed in Corolla last year but definitely prefer this area. The quiet and less congested atmosphere made for a relaxing week. Your artwork and personal touches made us feel very comfortable and right at home.'
'Your home is beautiful and very comfortable.'
'We really enjoyed our time here - the pool and hot tub were great. The views were awesome and we had a deserted beach - what more could we ask for?'
'Another wonderful vacation at Moondance!'
'This was our second year at your lovely house and we are already looking forward to next year.'
'This is a nice property. You have beautiful landscaping and a comfy house.'
'We enjoyed fires on the beach with smores, frisbee and kite flying.'
'We had a great stay at Moondance. We've stayed at many places and Moondance has been one of our favorites.'
'Another great vacation at Moondance! We love the quiet neighborhood and the comfort of your fantastic beach house!'

Absolutely lovely!
We stayed at Moondance the week of May 21st through May 28th, 2017. The home was beautiful, especially the top floor. It was very large and open, and was perfect for family gatherings. We loved the beachy furniture and décor as well. The kitchen was truly well equipped. We even found a crock pot, which we didn't expect.
Although I come to the outer banks for the beaches, it was really nice having a pool and hot tub at the house! A definite plus!
The views from the decks are breathtaking, and some of our family members captured some great photos. It is an easy walk to the beach, which was lovely, and not crowded the week we were there. We saw only a few people, many with their dogs, enjoying the peace and quiet.
We did experience some bad weather during our trip, but one evening our family enjoyed "game night", which was a lot of fun.
The owner was very nice and accessible, and we definitely would consider renting this house again! Our only issue is that we have two elderly dogs, and the stairs going from the first floor to the second, were a little difficult for them to maneuver. Also, I would suggest any future renters just check with their cell phone companies concerning their coverage. Some of us had issues with roaming.
It's a great house in a lovely neighborhood!
Just right!
Mondance was a delightful house for our 3 day, 3 generation family beach weekend. The top floor is open kitchen/dining/living space. Kitchen is well appointed. The bedrooms downstairs were fine for our configuration. Moondance is a short walk to the beach, and easy access to gas, bait and necessities. Mike the owner was very outgoing and helpful and we had a nice volley of messages. We'd definitely return to Moondance for a future visit to OBX.
Good location, sub-par living conditions... and I never write reviews...
See below for my email (bottom) to the owner and his response (top).
No more space left for review, but I wouldn't rent again (no retribution was offered).
"Renter,
Thanks for your email and feedback. This list is very important to me because I don't see the house for months once the rental season starts. I rely on reports from the renters and my maintenance company.
Most of this is the first I have heard of these issues, so I will have the maintenance company look at the following right away:
Ants - we have a pest control contract and they come quarterly but I will have them out there right away.
Top bunks - sometimes those boards get moved around. How was it unsafe?
light bulb
mirror mount - is this the mirror on the dresser?
coffee pot - you should have let me know. that's easy to replace. You did see the backup coffee maker though right?
Outdoor shower - wasn't aware of missing head. They winterize it and must not have put it back on in the spring
dryer timer knob
we have a backup dvd player in a closet
stile - is this a picket on the railing?
hot tub only has one pump, regardless of what the control panel says.
Again, thanks for your feedback. Much, if not all of this we could have addressed during your stay if you had let us know.

Owner,
It's been a few weeks since our vacation ended and I wanted to bring to your attention the following issues.
Moondance Issues
Day 1 (2016-06-05)
-blind broken
-top bunks unsafe supports
-master bedroom mirror mount broken
-master bedroom lavatory drain slow
-ants in master bedroom
-light bulb burned out southwest bedroom
Day 2 (2016-06-06)
-door lock repeatedly beeping at 1am
-coffee pot wouldn't work properly
-outdoor shower not usable due to missing shower head and extreme water pressure/velocity (ironically, this was a big issue)
-dryer timer knob broken (could not turn on dryer for any of our items)
Day 3 (2016-06-07)
-DVD player shuts off randomly
-stile broken on upper deck
-assuredly pump #2 doesn't work on hot tub
Day 4 (2016-06-08)
-lower connector kitchen chair broken
-ants in master bath medicine cabinet
I understand random issues may arise, but paying a premium for a non-ocean front house should not have this many issues. Many of these items directly impacted our stay and affect my decision to return.
What are your thoughts on this matter?"

Fantastic location and family friendly
My family of 12 + 2 infants stayed the week of July 4 and had a wonderful time. All accommodations (bedrooms, kitchen, A/C, bathrooms, etc.) were as described and in great condition. We particularly loved the pool and hot tub, the quiet location (the house is on a private court), the basketball hoop, and the close beach access. The nearest beach is indeed not crowded and quite beautiful.
The owner was prompt in clear in all communication, displaying a professional disposition at all times.
My only feedback for the owner is to include the need for linens in the property listing or supply them at the home. We learned of this need with our check-in instructions the week before. Thankfully, the recommended linen rental service was affordable and convenient.
I recommend this home to all families without reservation. The value was fantastic and honestly exceeded my expectations.
Perfect location with all the comforts of home!
We had a wonderful week away and had everything we needed! A couple small issues were handled by the owner right away and we enjoyed every minute. Mike was totally responsive leading up to and throughout our stay. If I had anything negative to say it would be that there is no heat for the pool. In mid-April the water was VERY chilly. Didn't deter my kiddo for a second, but it was not pleasant to join her. Thank goodness for the hot tub!!!!! We are already looking forward to our next visit to the area!
Great Location
Our family with three generations in tow returned from a week at the beach. Moondance is a fantastic location on a cul-de-sac and one house away from the ocean. The upper deck provided fabulous sunrise and sunset views. The dogs enjoyed being with the family at the beach as well! The kitchen was well equipped and the two large tables provided great space for puzzles and games! The steady strong breezes prevented the beach fire we had anticipated. However, both children and adults enjoyed the shipwreck close by and learning of its history.
