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 marvelous 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 completely 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 elegant 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!

Our top Waves vacation rental home tips and tricks:

When to visit & When to book:

• In the Hatteras area, The earlier you can reserve a home, the better your selection will be. The best properties are booked early. Booking your rental property up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summer months are high season in the Hatteras area. To get the best value, try shifting your group's vacation dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and October offer excellent temperatures, fewer crowds, 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, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner if your family qualifies for a price reduction or discount.
• Property management companies usually offer guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Hatteras area visitor guide magazines that include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or through a partnership between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Narrow your Search:

• First and foremost, have your group commit to trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Oceanview Dog Friendly Home with Game Room, Private Saltwater Pool, and Hot Tub has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts & types is generally accessible online. If they are not listed, call the property manager before you reserve the home. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out what is right for your family.
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Does your group require special amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Filtering by amenity will allow you to quickly find the perfect rental.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. .

During your stay:

• Add the host's phone number to your smartphone. Take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Record any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Respect your neighbors. Often, nearby homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Neighbors can often 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?
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget any personal items. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and look for damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on good ratings to drive more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers 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 had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to remedy it.
