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 outstanding 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 painless delight. Plus, you can look forward to appreciating those meals together at a handsome, giant 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 striking stargazing.

Finest of all is I’M NOT SHORE’s location — just 250 feet to the ocean beach and conveniently 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!

Our top Rental booking tips:

How to get the best value:

• Summer is the most expensive season in coastal NC. To book the largest vacation home within budget, we recommend booking in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Hatteras restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the 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.
• Reserve your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some owners offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers usually offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• 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 shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.

How to choose and book the perfectrental home:

• Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a max budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Oceanview Dog Friendly Home with Game Room, Private Saltwater Pool, and Hot Tub has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts is normally accessible online. Otherwise, call the property management company before booking your home. Remember that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes pull-out couches. You will need to establish what configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• If there's a specific Hatteras attraction you long to visit, search for rentals that are either close by, or those that cater to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
• Some properties allow pets, and some don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, weight and breeds may be restricted, and added costs may apply. Ask the property management company about pets before booking.

More tips for your visit:

• Add the owner's information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of check in/check out procedures.
• At Check-in, make note of any damages to the property and immediately alert 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! You wouldn't like troublesome visitors disrupting your peaceful home life. Employ the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you're gone! Don't let burglars spoil your trip.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, walk through the rental to reconfirm you've collected everything. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the rental one final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the manager isn't available, ensure that you take video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property management company was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was imperfect and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
