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 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 calming 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 marvelous 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.

MOTHER OF WAVES is dog friendly and up to two furry friends are welcome. It also offers the added amenities of access to the St. Waves community pool and tennis courts and close proximity to the Rodanthe Pier. Don’t let this one get away, book it today.

Booking the best rental experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• Booking a rental in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our favorite way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your family.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Often, rental management companies supply Hatteras area travel guides which will include special deals, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to narrow your search:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your dates, and choose a max budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. The Mother of Waves! Oceanview Dog Friendly w\/ Pool, Hot Tub, Cmty Pool + Tennis has 8 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is normally available on booking websites. Otherwise, call the property management company before reserving the property. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what is optimal for your vacation family.
• Visiting for a single event? Use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before booking
• Some properties allow pets, and others don't. Allowable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added charges may apply. Ask the host about your furry family members before booking.

Tips for your stay:

• Store the manager's information in your smartphone.
• Document any damages to the property during check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that can be helpful if there is a dispute.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable visitors bothering your life at home. Practice the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to order the best nachos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Keep your rental home locked while you are away! Don't let burglars spoil your holiday.
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property a final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to inspire more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will be thankful you shared your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the owner could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
