SEMI-OCEANFRONT Waves – Mac Oca Ct. – Making memorable vacation memories is painless 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 simple 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 pretty 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.

Tips and Tricks to get the best vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• Summer time is high season in Waves. To book the largest rental within your budget, we suggest booking in Fall or Spring. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at popular Hatteras attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• The sooner you can book a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your vacation rental up to twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for veterans. Ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local Hatteras area magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have deals for nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Selecting the best vacation rental in Waves:

• Select your vacation dates and spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your group requires. 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 Hatteras vacation rental search.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is usually available online. If not, email the property management company before you book the vacation home. Note that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks. You will need to establish what is right for your group.
• Is your family looking for unique amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. .
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to search for a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for details on breed, size, and type requirements. Usually, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

More considerations for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• To make sure no damages are linked to your visit, inspect the property for any problem areas upon check in. Get in touch with the property manager immediately to report your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Property managers are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You'll enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are an incredible resource to find the best local beaches and restaurants.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental home while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• Double-check the rental property to confirm that you've packed all belongings on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property a final time and look for damages to contents or the property itself. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the host is not available, take photographs of the rental to record its condition.
• Did you have a great time? Many rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong 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.
