About this property

Wake up to the sound of the ocean. Catch sight of dolphins🐬🐬 from your room.

See the First Waves of the morning, every morning, from this oceanfront home. A true old Nags Head-style beach home with 6 bedrooms and 3 baths,, you're sure to enjoy a peaceful atmosphere inside this classic cedar shake. With miles of uncrowded beach to hunt for seashells, what more could you ask for in an Outer Banks vacation?

From the oceanfront deck, you're able to enjoy the sunrise and the panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. From the living area, you can see waves crashing against the shore and possibly spot a few dolphins playing in the surf. Your family will have plenty of room to spread out with the spacious open floor plan. There is plenty of dining space and wet bar area to accommodate everyone.

Featuring 4 queen bedrooms, one bedroom with two bunkbeds and another with two twins, the house offers convenient, flexible sleeping options for both the adults and children in the family. Two of the bedrooms are oceanside, and all of the bedrooms are extremely quiet and comfortable allowing the early-risers to move about without disturbing those that like to sleep in a little later.
Dining room has seating for up to 16 people inside and a gas and charcoal grill to cook up the day’s catch. With a fully equipped kitchen as well as a full-sized bar with stools you have everything you need to whip up for a quick snack for the beach, bowls of cereal for the kids in the morning and for making your favorite beach daiquiri for the adults at night. High Speed Internet is available throughout the house for guests who want to check email or surf the web. Also, washer and dryer are provided for keeping beach and bath towels clean throughout your stay and central air and heating is available for keeping your family cool in the summer and warm and cozy in the off season.

In addition to the classic style of this home, the location of this rental allows vacationers to get out and explore. Area attractions like the Bodie Island Lighthouse, the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island, the Lost Colony, the Elizabethan Gardens, and the Wright Brothers National Memorial are all well-within driving distance from this home. Cape Hatteras National Seashore is just south of the property and a day trip to Ocracoke is always encouraged. For the water enthusiasts in the family, local nearby businesses offer jet ski and kayak rentals, dolphin tours, and parasailing; so make sure to get out and enjoy the waters!

2023 Updates: New hot tub. New LVP flooring throughout the house, new kitchen countertop, new bathroom vanities.

Disappointing Long Weekend Vacation
*Our experience was not to be expected: -The pictures of the house and sand dune setting did not match the actual setting!! (Large sand dune to get to the beach) -The fooseball table in the picture is not there!! -The screen door in the living room just falls right off with no effort!! -There is no linen service, so that makes your stay so much more complicated!! -The hot tub was drained and not working when we arrived and I did not see anything about that in the posting for rental at all!! (Especially when its the time of year to use a hot tub / October) -The house was very dirty!! (Hair and dirt all over) -All the toilets would barely flush!! -There was pigeons walking around on the ceiling of the orange master bathroom!! (It's nice getting out of the shower to be greeted by pigeons through the vent fan) -None of the dish network receivers worked!! -Trash all around the outside of the house!! -All the windows on the house said "please do not open" and most of them where SCREWED SHUT!! -No ocean view through the living room windows due to being very dirty!! -Very disappointing to spend so much money for the experience!!

2023 Summer trip
Property was just as described and fit our family needs with all the kiddos staying. Dake was very responsive and even had a new ice machine delivered when I said it was broken. Can’t beat the views and proximity to the ocean!

An amazing trip
My family and I had an amazing stay at First Wave. The house was in the perfect location, just behind the dune. The beach was clean and quiet. Not too crowded. We saw dolphins everyday and there was an awesome little sandbar daily at the beach for the kids to play in. The views from the house are unbelievable. The furniture was comfortable and well maintained. We had plenty of room for our large group. The hot tub was a treat. The outdoor shower and hose on the upper deck helped us keep sand out of the house. I have nothing but good things to say about our trip.
