Upon arrival, unload the car into the convenient cargo lift and relax with a first-day dip in the exhilarating private pool. Stretch your legs with a walk along the beach, perhaps catching a pod of dolphins at play. Return to refresh with an outdoor shower and a renewed ambition to cue up a billiards challenge in the ground-level game room featuring a pool table, kitchenette with wet bar and full-size refrigerator, high-top bar and a giant Roku TV. There’s a washer/dryer on this level, too, along with a pyramid bunk (with trundle) room for the kids and a king master bedroom.

Four more bedrooms occupy the second level. Two are king masters with ensuite baths and two additional king bedrooms share a hallway bath.

The third level is a bright, soaring space brilliantly designed to bring everybody together. Here you’ll find a marvelous oceanfront deck with plenty of seating to appreciate your coffee as the sun rises over the horizon in the morning and drinks as it sets later in the evening. There’s a half-bath, a sunroom, and a well-equipped kitchen that can conveniently accommodate more than one prepare at mealtime. Gather around the eat-at kitchen counter with four stools or the 12-seat dining table for those meals that last well into the nighttime; then move the action to the great room to catch up on your favorite shows on the sizable Roku TV. If the kids are bored with your choice of programming, there’s a additional space on the fourth level with another TV, a foosball table, and a pyramid bunk. The seventh bedroom, a king master with a private deck and in-room Whirlpool® tub overlooking the ocean is also located on this level.

How to find the best vacation rental experience:

When to visit Waves & When to reserve a Waves rental home:

• In the Hatteras area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your rental.
• To get the best rental home for your budget, we highly recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular Hatteras attractions.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner whether your family qualifies for a special rate.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.

You can also find Hatteras visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Tips for your stay:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent lots of concerns.
• Keep your rental home locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars ruin your vacation.
• To make certain that no damages are linked to your stay, inspect the property for any problem areas upon your arrival. Make contact with the host immediately to document any issues. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be useful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Local residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fine dining?
• Double-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all belongings at check-out. Re-check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your family have a terrific stay? Most rental managers make it easy for guests to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was wonderful, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was out of order and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
