OCEANFRONT Waves — Sea Vista Dr. — If having your head in the clouds on a sunny beach surrounded by your favorite people sounds like the ideal vacation, then MOTHER OF WAVES is the ideal place to hit pause and let it happen. Perched on the edge of the ocean dunes, this seven-bedroom/six- and one-half bath oceanfront home is an ideal family heaven providing tons of space — both personal and communal — that accepts everybody to discover their own comfort zone.

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. One has a work desk and provides access to the deck and a six-person hot tub where you can appreciate a relaxing soak as the day morphs into a starlit nighttime. All of the bedrooms feature Roku TVs.

The third level is a bright, soaring space brilliantly designed to bring everybody together. Here you’ll find a phenomenal oceanfront deck with plenty of seating to savor 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 enormous 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 get the best Hatteras rental home experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• Reserve your rental home in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Many property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area travel guides which include coupons, either offered directly by local businesses, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras area magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

• Start by selecting vacation dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your group requires. The Mother of Waves! Oceanview Dog Friendly w\/ Pool, Hot Tub, Cmty Pool + Tennis has 8 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available online. If they are not listed, contact the host before you reserve the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to establish which bed configuration is best for your family.
• Are you visiting for a specific event? Try a map search to find nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you must book a pet-friendly vacation rental. Request information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Be aware that some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Advice for a smooth stay:

• Add the host's contact information to your phone. Understand and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Upon arrival, document any issues with the property and immediately contact the owner. Record all coorespondence.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to go for the best drinks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the property to confirm you've collected everything. Check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. 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.
• Remember to leave feedback! Hosts rely on excellent feedback to drive more reservations. They'll be thankful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationers will will be grateful for your feedback find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to remedy it.
