OCEANVIEW Waves — Sea Isle Shores Ln. — One thing for sure at I’M NOT SHORE is that you’ll never need to search for a spectacular view; the vistas from the home’s top deck reveal a mesmerizing panorama from sunrise over the ocean to sunset into the sound. As complete as that sounds, it’s how this five-bedroom/four- and one-half bath fills the space and time in between that makes this home a really fabulous find.

Drive up to the cavernous grassy lot on a peaceful street and find plenty of parking, some covered. It won’t be long before you settle into a lounge alongside the saltwater pool next to the home and begin that much needed vacation decompression. A six-person hot tub stands ready to further the cause. There’s a charcoal grille here, too, and two outdoor showers to accommodate a post-beach-day rinse off. Just inside on the ground level is a game room featuring a pool table, Intelligent TV, and a wet bar with a minifridge and sink. Feeling casual? Good.

Four of the home’s bedrooms occupy the second level: a master king, a master with two single beds, and another king that shares a hallway bath with a bedroom holding two single beds. Both king rooms have access to a private deck. All the bedrooms feature Intelligent TVs. The final bedroom, a king, is located on the top level and features a private shower, jetted tub, and a Intelligent TV. This room provides direct access to the great room, an airy and open space destined to become your family’s go-to gathering spot as you watch cable TV from comfortable couches and two ceiling fans lazily circle above. The roomy and entirely equipped kitchen has everything you need to make planning and preparing meals an simple delight. Plus, you can look forward to appreciating those meals together at a striking, humongous live-edge table that seats ten and an eat-at counter that accommodates four more. Step outside to discover a screened-in porch with a picnic table and multiple wraparound decks to savor the fresh air, ocean breezes and excellent stargazing.

Finest of all is I’M NOT SHORE’s location — just 250 feet to the ocean beach and effortlessly accessible to the fishing and watersport-friendly waters of Pamlico Sound. The cozy village of Waves offers multiple eateries, cafes, and a modest market to pick up last-min. groceries. When you are sure I’M NOT SHORE is the one, don’t hesitate to book it!

Strategies to get the optimal vacation rental experience:

Find your best deal:

• Summertime is the most expensive season along the coast of NC. To get the best value, consider shifting your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall seasons. May, September, and even October offer excellent temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
• In the Hatteras area, The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are booked very early. Reserving your vacation rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer customers an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related issues or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for program terms and fees.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain deals for local accommodations, restaurants and tours.

• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible online. If they are not listed, call the host before you book the vacation property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• If there's a particular Hatteras destination you crave, browse rentals that are either nearby, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Get details on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners charge additional pet fees.
