Passionate about fishing? For Reels and Hatteras Island offer fisheries unlike anything else on earth. Being positioned where the warm waters of the Gulf Stream and cold waters of the Labrador currents meet makes Hatteras Island one of the most diverse fisheries on earth. For Reels offers sound side fishing from the backyard or from your boat or kayak docked just feet from the home. Common catch in Pamlico Sound include Red Drum, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Sheepshead, Crab, Shrimp, and Clams. A five min. walk to the neighborhood beach access offers world class surf fishing for Red Drum, Speckled Trout, Pompano, Flounder, and Spanish Mackerel to name just a few common species. Looking to fill the freezer? Book a private charter for a trip out to the Gulf Stream in pursuit of Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, King Mackerel, Sailfish, Swordfish, or Marlin. Hop on the 75 foot Miss Hatteras event boat for an economical offshore bottom fishing trip where common catch includes Triggerfish, Snapper, Grouper, Tilefish, and Sea Bass among many others.

Our home is not managed by a professional property management company. We own and manage For Reels remotely and have great local teams to support our guests. We will do our best to accommodate your needs and address any issues that arise, but Hatteras’ remote location makes it very difficult to address some issues quickly.
For Reels uses a septic system that is rated for 8 occupants. For Reels has an extremely strict 8 person occupancy limit. Over occupancy will cause the septic system to fail resulting in extremely expensive repairs or system replacement. The septic system is comfortably damaged by flushing any non biodegradable products or chemicals down the toilet or drains. Examples of items that cannot be flushed are paper towels, Kleenex, cotton swaps, dental floss, feminine hygiene products, and cooking grease or oil.
For Reels is located in Hatteras Estates, which is a peaceful residential HOA. For Reels is the only vacation rental on the street.

Our top Vacation rental home tips:
Cost saving strategies:
- Summer is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring is our favorite way to save money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties.
- Book your vacation rental as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
- Owners sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Ask your property manager if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
- Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally will cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
- Often, rental management companies supply Hatteras area visitors guides which include special deals, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.
Selecting the best rental in the Hatteras area:
- Begin by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
- Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. For Reels - Soundfront Home - Pet Friendly has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
- Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible on booking websites. If not, call the property manager before reserving the property. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to determine what bed configuration is suitable for your family.
- Are you visiting for a single event or attraction? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
- Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.
- Some rentals allow pets, and some don't. Allowable types of pet, size and breeds may be restricted, and additional charges may apply. Ask the property manager about your furry family members before booking.
During your stay:
- Be sure you get the owner's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your rental home. Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
- Note any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
- Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, intercom or thermostat. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent lots of difficulties.
- Respect the neighborhood. Often, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
- Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help. Who better to ask where to charter a fishing boat, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
- Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
- Double-check every room of the rental property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
- Record a video to document the condition of the property.
- Leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to drive future bookings. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best vacation home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to fix it.
