SEMI-OCEANFRONT Waves – Mac Oca Ct. – Making memorable vacation memories is simple to do at MAKIN’ WAVES. This four-bedroom/two- and two-half-bath home provides a calming counterpoint to the active endeavors of a Hatteras Island vacation. Sitting just one block from the oceanfront, this is a ideal family home, offering painless beach access and sunrise to sunset vistas from a sizable deck.

Rinse off the salt and sand in the outdoor shower while the fisherman prepares their catch on the fish cleaning station before lighting up the charcoal grille. Through the dry entry under the home, you will find the first of the home’s four bedrooms. Featuring a pyramid bunk and half bath, this level is ideal for those who are late risers. Away from the bustle of upstairs, you can appreciate an entire floor to yourself. On the second level, a second pyramid bunk room and two queen bedrooms, which share a Jack-and-Jill bath, provide ample places to sleep between days in the sun.

The third level features an open floor plan where sunrises will stream through the ocean facing windows, filling the space with gorgeous morning light. New great room furnishings, including a queen couch bed, offer an inviting spot to watch the Intelligent TV or simply fixate on the impressive ocean vistas across the street. Park yourself at the kitchen counter to savor your morning cup of coffee or in one of eight chairs at dinner time for a family feast. Wind down the day on the deck as the sun sinks below the sound.

There’s no need to leave your family pups behind; two dogs up to 40 pounds are welcome, keeping your whole family together. Start making plans to book MAKIN’ WAVES for the vacation you’ve been waiting for.

Hatteras vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Getting the best rental value:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Hatteras area. To book the largest vacation home for your budget, we recommend reserving in the Spring or Fall. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with friends and family at the beach.
• The earlier your group can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Reserving your vacation property 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years Eve are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Some hosts offer discounts for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group.
• Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer renters an option to purchase vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Look for your local Hatteras visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines contain deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Selecting and booking yourvacation home:

• Start by choosing your potential vacation weeks and a maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and the configuration you need. Semi-Oceanfront, Dog Friendly Home in Waves with Community Beach Access Nearby has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is often available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, contact the property management company before reserving your rental. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a particular Hatteras attraction you long to visit, keep an eye out for properties that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your group is bringing pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly vacation rental. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Often, property owners charge additional pet fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Be sure you get the owner's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• At Check-in, record any damages to the property and immediately alert the host. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll magnify your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an incredible source for finding the best local restaurants, beaches, and hangouts.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental while you are out and about. Keep your property safe!
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before departing, take a walk through the rental to confirm you've collected all belongings. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a fantastic stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct 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.
