OCEANSIDE WITH VIEWS OF THE SOUND-You're "On Island Time" in the heart of North Carolina's scenic Outer Banks! This five-bedroom/four-bathroom home is conveniently located in the village of Waves on beautiful Hatteras Island. Just a short distance from world renowned REAL Watersports where you can hit the waves learning to kite board and surf like a professional. If you prefer your water without the surf, you will love the oversized 33'x 15' private pool where you can spend your days lounging and soaking up the sun. Just a few steps from the pool deck you will find the covered outdoor shower and toilet, convenient for quick trips from the beach and pool!
You will find the four-person golf cart parked under the house, near the entry. Who doesn't love riding around on a summer night checking out the scenery? And, while this home is only a short walk from the private beach, the golf cart is very handy for transporting beach gear and family.
As you enter the home, head up the short flight of stairs to the lower level. Here you will find three newly renovated and furnished king bedrooms and a newly furnished bunk room with two twin bunks. Each room is equipped with a television, Roku device for streaming services, and a subscription to Spectrum TV, for your favorite channels. Also on this level are two bathrooms, the laundry room and game room. Kids will have fun trying out their skills at the foosball table! Head outside to the lower deck where the six-person hot tub is located. Perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing, touring the lighthouses or shopping.
On the main level, you will find another king bedroom and a full bathroom. This level is open concept with a living room, dining room, kitchen and ship's watch. Step out into the screened-in porch where you can stretch out on the outdoor sectional or enjoy a meal under the stars. End your perfect day on the upper deck watching beautiful sunsets over the Pamlico sound.
Did we mention this is a dog friendly home? We have a large size crate for those that need their own space. The home has a spacious fenced in yard around the pool. The subdivision has very walkable, wide paved roads with doggie stations along the way. Sidewalks line the main road, perfect for walking, biking, jogging.

You are literally a few steps away from restaurants and Waves Market and Deli. Forgot something? They will have it 363 days a year.
Visitors love this area because they can take their vehicles onto the beaches. There are several spots within a few minutes' drive where you can air down your four-wheel drive vehicle and cruise out on the beach. Set up your canopies and cooking gear, play all day! If the waves are too much, just outside of town you will find the perfect place on the sound. The Salvo Day Use area has a spacious beach, clean bathrooms and plenty of parking. Perfect for kids, kayaking and canoes! You can catch a glimpse of the kiteboarders as they sail the "slick".

About the host
Hosted by Doug & Sarah
Hello, and welcome to “On Island Time”! We’re so glad you’re here.
A little about us and how we ended up here…
I’m Sarah, and I introduced my husband Doug to the Outer Banks in 2013. He’s originally from Idaho and moved to the East Coast during his time in the Navy. Even after living in Virginia for many years, he had never made the trip to the Outer Banks. I grew up in Richmond, about 3 1/2 hours away. Some of my favorite childhood memories were made during family vacations here. I couldn’t wait to share this special place with him, and needless to say, he was hooked after his very first visit.
Over the years, we’ve explored nearly every corner of the Outer Banks—from Carova and Corolla in the north to Ocracoke Island in the south, and just about everywhere in between. But we always found ourselves returning to Rodanthe, Waves, and Salvo, the Tri-Villages.
What’s not to love- There’s something truly special about this stretch of the island. Far from the crowds and commercialized beaches, it feels like a true escape. Here, you can enjoy the best of both worlds—the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the peaceful Pamlico Sound on the other. Whether you’re watching a breathtaking sunrise over the ocean, an unforgettable sunset across the sound, fishing, surfing, kayaking, or simply relaxing with a salty breeze, life just seems to slow down a bit.
In December 2023, we took a leap of faith and purchased this beach house. Since then, we’ve enjoyed making it our own, adding thoughtful touches to create a place where family, friends, and guests can relax, reconnect, and make lasting memories.
We hope you’ll fall in love with this special corner of the Outer Banks the way we have. Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and welcome to “On Island Time”.
Why they chose this property
Our home in Waves is the perfect home base for discovering everything the Outer Banks have to offer.
Head 15 minutes south to Avon, where you’ll find grocery stores, local shops, restaurants, and everything you need for your stay. Just a few minutes farther is Buxton, home to the iconic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. Continue south through Frisco, where you can visit the Frisco Native American Museum & Natural History Center, then end your drive in the charming fishing village of Hatteras. Be sure to stop by the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum before catching the ferry to Ocracoke Island for a memorable day trip. Explore the historic village, relax on uncrowded beaches, visit the Ocracoke Lighthouse, and treat yourself to ice cream before heading back.
Travel north about 20 minutes to explore Manteo and Nags Head. Wander Manteo’s picturesque waterfront, learn about the Lost Colony, shop local boutiques, or visit the marina made famous by Wicked Tuna. Nags Head offers plenty of restaurants, family-friendly attractions, and shopping Head north to Kitty Hawk to visit the Wright Brothers National Memorial, or make a full-day adventure to Corolla, where you can tour the lighthouse or take a four-wheel-drive excursion to see the famous wild horses roaming the beaches.
One of our favorite things about staying in Waves is how easy it is to get around. The house is in one of the island’s most walkable and bike-friendly areas. Just steps away, Waves Market & Deli is perfect for fresh deli sandwiches, snacks, groceries, and an excellent selection of craft beer and wine.
Don’t miss the incredible kiteboarding scene that has made Waves famous. Just 0.2 miles north, Watermen’s Bar & Grill is the perfect place to enjoy lunch or dinner while watching colorful kites dance across the Pamlico Sound. Next door, REAL Watersports welcomes surfers and kiteboarders from around the world, making it one of the best spots on the East Coast to experience the energy and excitement of the sport.

The fenced pool area includes a grassy space for potty breaks, plus extra water bowls to help keep your pup cool after a day of adventure.
