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 invigorating 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 humongous 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 awesome 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 comfortably 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 huge 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.

Strategies to get the very best vacation property experience:

Money saving strategies:

• In the Hatteras area, The earlier your group can book, the better your selection will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Reserving your rental property up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• Summertime is high season in the Hatteras area. To find the best value, try shifting your group's trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer great temperatures, less crowded beaches, and reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property management companies usually offer customers an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area travel guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a partnership between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to select the best rental home in the Hatteras area:

• Select a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a max budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration your family needs. The Mother of Waves! Oceanview Dog Friendly w\/ Pool, Hot Tub, Cmty Pool + Tennis has 8 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before you book your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You will need to determine what bed configuration is suitable for your trip.
• If your family is bringing pets, you will need a rental that allows animals. Ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include search filters with amenity lists.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking

During your stay:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of issues.
• Lock your rental property while you're away! Don't let burglars spoil your family vacation.
• Document any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are valuable if there is a dispute.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can usually point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the best bike paths, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• On check-out day, take a final walk-through to make sure you did not forget anything. Check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Leave a review! Property owners rely on good ratings to stimulate future reservations. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation rental. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
