Most of the Outer Banks keeps its guests well connected to all the perceived luxuries of modern life.... Walmart, Target, fast food drive thrus, etc. But an hour's drive south from Nags Head, along a serene strip of sand located between the Pamlico Sound and the Atlantic Ocean will deliver you to the apex of the Outer Banks, to Cape Hatteras. Think... old Cape Cod fifty plus years ago. We harbor the last real beaches, broad and uncrowded, without corporate influence. About a mile away is the Cape Hatteras lighthouse, the tallest lighthouse in America. She has been protecting mariners traversing the rough waters beyond our shores for over a hundred years. Most locals are descendants of those who were on English ships seeking to discover new lands that fell victim to the treacherous seas and shipwrecked before the lighthouse was constructed. Once you arrive here, you'll discover why they never left. Prepare yourself to meet a few.

The iconic oceanfront Outer Banks Motel, on Cape Hatteras, a.k.a. 'Buxton', was constructed right on family land by one of those locals nearly 70 years ago. And continues to be owned and operated by that very local and her family. The OBM continues its tradition of old sea village hospitality but with modern upgrades and advancements to make our guests feel at home here. Having a planned out itinerary is not a necessity... just grab your beach towel, flip flops and a book and walk a few feet to the beach. Close your eyes and ponder the smell of salty air, sun and sea mist grazing your face, the gentle sound of the waves breaking on the beach, while digging your toes in the warm sand while watching the sun rise and set over the water. All that anxiety just melts away.

Every one of the OBMs' cottages and efficiency rooms are unique. Some are directly on the beach, some have superb vistas. All are just feet from the beach. We have a saltwater pool and hot tub located between the main office and the beach. There's a coin operated washer and dryer and ice machine in the back of the main office building located near the fish cleaning station. We provide you with everything you need, and nothing you don't. The local grocery store, many eateries, surf stores and tackle stores are not further than a mile away.
This is our only ground floor oceanside unit. There's a four season porch with rocker and has a partial view of the ocean. It has a full kitchen with a dining table that seats four people. Leather lazy boy.

Finding the best Hatteras vacation property experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are high season in Buxton. Booking a rental in Fall or Spring months is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of acceptable homes.
• Some property managers offer special rates for veterans. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area visitors guides which include special deals, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Choosing the best vacation rental in the Hatteras area:

• Begin by choosing your trip dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Oceanside Accommodations - Efficiency Room with Cooking has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is almost always available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the host before reserving the home. Remember that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches. You'll need to work out what is optimal for your vacation group.
• If your family is bringing pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly rental. Request specifics on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Be aware that some property owners charge additional pet fees.
• Visiting for a single event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

During your stay:

• Add the owner's information to your phone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• Hosts are available to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Lock your vacation home while you're away. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• To make sure no damages are attributed to your family's visit, make note of any problem areas when you arrive. Contact the property manager immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like loud visitors disrupting your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and scan for any damage. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the host isn't available, remember to take video and pictures of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental and/or property manager was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your comments.
