Oceanside Dog Friendly Home with Private Pool, Hot Tub, Tiki Bar, and Smart TVs
OCEANSIDE Waves — Wimble Shores North — When the stars align, a family vacation can leave an imprint of lasting memories. COUNTING STARS is the constellation you’ve been looking for, where warm and comfortable surroundings entice you to hit pause and chill until the sun sets in a spectacular show of color.
Everyone, including up to two welcome dogs who will enjoy the fenced in yard, can eagerly claim a favorite spot in this three-bedroom/two-bathroom home located on a spacious corner lot. The kids will love the private pool; the adults, the adjacent tiki bar or a six-person hot tub located on the deck a few steps above. Also on the ground level, an enclosed outdoor shower provides a convenient way to rinse off after a day in the sun.
On the first level you’ll discover two of the home’s bedrooms: a queen and a room with two bunk beds. There’s also a full bath on this level. The final bedroom, a king master, is located on the top level. All of the bedrooms feature Smart TVs. Another Smart TV claims a spot in the adjoining great room, a comfortably furnished space to gather the family for games, movie watching, or retelling the day’s stories. Whip up your favorite vacation meals in the well-equipped kitchen that can be shared around an ample eight-seat dining table. Finish the evening on the wide, furnished deck with a cool beverage, taking in the sound views, listening to the waves and, what else? Counting stars.
The home’s location in one of the most popular wind and kite surfing locations on Hatteras Island is ideal for those who enjoy the sports both personally and vicariously. Count your lucky stars, and book COUNTING STARS today.

We truly appreciate your glowing 5-star review, Debbie! It's fantastic to hear that Counting Stars - #1200 and the neighborhood made your stay enjoyable, despite the weather. We're so glad you had a comfortable and relaxing visit and hope to welcome you back to Hatteras Island for another great experience.
The house was great and we loved the amenities. Pool, hot tub, fenced yard, easy walk to the beach and walking/biking trail. However, noise from the main road that runs beside the house was not so great. Nonstop loud traffic wherever you were on the property. If you don’t mind the traffic noise this is a great property but if you want a little peace and quiet this is not a good option. I hope to come back and stay in this area again but will definitely stay further from the main road.

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback, Melissa, and for including the beautiful sunset and pool photos. We're glad you enjoyed Counting Stars - #1200, its amenities, and the convenient access to the beach and nearby trail. We're sorry the traffic noise from the main road affected your experience and appreciate you sharing that perspective. Hopefully we'll have the opportunity to welcome you back to Hatteras Island again.
We had such a great week in Waves and this house was simply perfect for us. We brought our dog with us and we are so thankful she was able to vaca with us. The house was super clean with a well equipped kitchen. The host checked in via text regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. The pool and hot tub were very clean and the pool guys came mid week for a cleaning and fill. There was a bonus room that we did not use-but not listed in the description. Had a bunk bed and separate air conditioner. The entrance was outside on the front porch-no access from inside the house. Beds were very comfy and not squeaky. One of my big pet peeves. I'd definitely stay here again. It was perfect for our family.
