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 incredible find.

Drive up to the roomy 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 cavernous and completely 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 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 lavish 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 numerous 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!

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect vacation rental experience:

Getting the best rental value:

• Summer time is high season in the Hatteras area. Booking your vacation rental in Fall or Spring is a great way to save money on your vacation home. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of desirable homes. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer.
• In the Hatteras area, The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental home 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation rental.
• Owners sometimes offer promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your family.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, travel guide magazines contain deals for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select your vacation dates and budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Oceanview Dog Friendly Home with Game Room, Private Saltwater Pool, and Hot Tub has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rentals search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed types is usually available on booking pages. If they are not listed, contact the property owner before reserving your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds. You will need to establish what bed configuration is best for your family.
• Are you looking for special amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Use these to your advantage to find the perfect rental home.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking
• If your group is traveling with pets, you must reserve a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for information on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.

Have a great stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Add a note with the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Upon arrival, note any issues with the property and immediately contact the host. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Property managers are there to help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Often times, nearby homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking policies is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Locals can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property when you are gone, just like you would at home.
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't forget anything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property one final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, remember to take video of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific time? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for clients to provide comments. If your property and/or property management company was fantastic, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to fix it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
