Ride the balmy soundfront breeze out into the water for an experience of a lifetime with your own piece of paradise waiting for you when you get back.
After taking advantage of plenty of parking and getting a good whiff of the salty breeze, make your way to the Additional Living Area, where you can relax with a snack in front of your favorite shows on the large flat-screen TV. Make a delicious snack in the Kitchenette, which boasts a microwave and a mini-fridge, before settling the kiddos in the Bedroom with a Twin Bed and a Pyramid Bunk.

Just a few miles down the road, you can go birdwatching and explore the marshes of the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge or drive to Buxton to climb the famous Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. The anglers in your group will love being so close to Cape Point where they can try their luck reeling in a big catch. To learn more about the area's exciting history, stop by the Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station to learn about how water rescues were carried out long before modern technology. For a quick bite or tasty breakfast, drive down to the Orange Blossom Cafe for an apple ugly that's definitely worth writing home about. For dinner, try a delicious seafood meal from Pangea Tavern or a burger from Bros. There are also dozens of local shops within easy driving distance and all the fun adventures to be had in Hatteras Landing, so there is always something fun to do for the whole family.

Sandra, we are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Mare Vista. The sound side sunsets are unbelievable. We would love to have you back with us soon.

Overall it was a good stay. Nice location beautiful sunsets, kids loved being able to fish the entire time. The house was not well cleaned and there were some broken chairs and tables outside. The showers were luke warm. I’m not sure we would rent this specific house again but overall the stay was ok.
The only downside to this home was the late check in/early check out. Given its size, the home is not eligible for alternative times. Otherwise, the home was immaculate. Great location. The small, sound side beach was perfect for small children, kayaks, fishing. Would definitely recommend.

Spectacular Views
This was a lovely stay and the property offered some of the most spectacular views I have ever stayed at. Plenty of space an incredible privacy. There were a couple of areas of feedback: we paid for the pool to be heated, and it never heated up; there could have been more attention paid to the cleaning (specifically the kitchen & grill); the listing did not provide any details on the kayaks or paddle board, so I ended up paying extra for advanced rentals when it was unnecessary. Overall, I would stay here again. The location of this house in incredible, and the views were second to none.
Make sure that you bring toilet paper, soap, and other disposable items. They also did not provide enough towels. When we checked in, there were two rolls of toilet paper for six bathrooms, a roll of paper towels, no hair dryers, and not enough towels for all of the guests and no beach towels. When I called the next morning, they did not offer to provide additional toilet paper and wanted to charge 7 each for extra towels. For the amount of money spent, I would expect more basic amenities.The cabinets, carpet, and furniture were a little worn, but overall acceptable. The kitchen was well stocked with pans, skillet, and utensils.The view was beautiful.
We were 18 guests, ranging in age from 94 down to ten months. It is the first time we stayed in a sound-front property and the amount of fun to be had between kayaking, examining sealife, the safe little beach for the youngest family members, all right outside our door, plus, the beautiful, well-proportioned pool, and the absolute privacy [there were no guests in the adjacent properties, and those houses were well-away from our house!] - meant that our stay exceeded expectations.Inside, the house is spacious, the beds comfortable, the elevator a real boon [though my nonagenarian parents insisted on using the stairs!], and the kitchen was so well-equipped as to be astonishing! With a group as large as we were, we ate every meal "in," and so we really appreciated the abundance of tableware, the small appliances and myriad utensils, pyrex casseroles, and on and on.I would highly recommend this well-appointed house for its spaciousness, its comfort [the beds were great!] and cleanliness, and if you like seclusion, for its superb setting. I really can't say enough!

Check in was smooth but they didn’t reach out though the home was ready earlier as they advised they would. Extremely misleading for the “heated pool” as it is an additional 350 and this was not disclosed to us and cannot be purchased later. There were tons of items broken throughout the home (blinds, pool gate, stove only had 2 burners working, etc.) The cleanliness was decent but you could tell it was a rush job and they didn’t take their time. The trash cans were overflowing the day we arrived and couldn’t be emptied until Monday. The WiFi password was changed while we were on site and by the time they sent someone we had to figure it out ourselves. Beautiful house and location though.
