SEMI-OCEANFRONT Waves — Sea Isle Hills Ct. — New for 2025! — Discover your inner tranquility at ZEN, a six-bedroom/five-full and one-half-bath haven where both ocean and sound vistas diverge from the tranquility to compete for your attention. Bring your extended family, your friends, and even your pup — this cavernous, dog-friendly home is your connection to the allure of the Outer Banks and each other.

The home’s location at the end of a cul-de-sac provides a ideal reason to bring your bicycles for exploring the neighborhood. Ease into a more calming rhythm at the sandy beach, accessible by a dune trail just across the street, or settle into a lounge chair around the private pool, with outdoor speakers setting the mood from a favorite playlist. Escapism extends to the inside of the home, too, where a first level game room features classic arcade games, a foosball table, wet bar, and a theater room featuring a 65-inch Intelligent TV that entices you to settle in with a movie. Just off the game room is a slider that leads to an elevated deck, housing a six-person hot tub waiting to melt your worries away.

Also, on the first level are two of the home’s bedrooms including a king master and a room with two bunkbeds, in addition to a half-bath. The remaining bedrooms, including two king masters, a queen, and room with two single beds, are located on the second level along with a full hallway bathroom. All of the bedrooms are equipped with 40-inch Intelligent TVs with streaming capability. Most have access to covered decks to appreciate the coastal breezes and starlit skies.

On the upper level, soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows create a light-filled ambiance in the great room, inviting families to relax and reconnect. The roomy, well-equipped kitchen features a four-seat breakfast table, providing a casual dining option in addition to the ten-seat dining table. A enormous, comfortable leather sectional in the great room offers prime viewing for the new 65-inch Intelligent TV. However, you might find yourself drawn away from the screen to the adjacent furnished deck and crow’s nest, especially as the sun dips below the horizon and the stars begin their celestial performance. What could be more ZEN than that? For peace of mind, and book it today.

Tips and Tricks for getting the best rental home experience:

Sticking to a rental home budget:

• In the Hatteras area, The earlier your group can reserve a vacation home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable properties are reserved early. Booking your vacation rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• Summer is the most expensive season in the Hatteras area. To get the most suitable vacation home within your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners typically offer renters an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which generally will cost you anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitors guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby shops and restaurants.

Filter your rental search:

• Choose dates and budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Semi-Oceanfront, Dog Friendly Home in Waves With Pool, Hot Tub, Game Room has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the property owner before you book your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes pull out couches in living rooms. You will need to establish what bed configuration is optimal for your trip.
• If your family is traveling with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly rental. Request details on breed, weight, and type requirements. Some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all required amenities are available before booking

More considerations:

• Review check in & check out procedures before traveling. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or thermostat. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent a lot of concerns.
• Lock your rental while you're out. Keep your property safe!
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your family's stay, make note of any problem areas upon your arrival. Get in touch with the property manager right away to record your findings. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Don't forget to respect your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, walk through the property to confirm you've collected all personal belongings. Check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on great ratings to compel new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will appreciate that you share your feedback and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to fix it.
