Most of the Outer Banks keeps its guests well connected to all the perceived luxuries of modern life.... Walmart, Target, fast food drive thrus, etc. But an hour's drive south from Nags Head, along a serene strip of sand located between the Pamlico Sound and the Atlantic Ocean will deliver you to the apex of the Outer Banks, to Cape Hatteras. Think... old Cape Cod fifty plus years ago. We harbor the last real beaches, broad and uncrowded, without corporate influence. About a mile away is the Cape Hatteras lighthouse, the tallest lighthouse in America. She has been protecting mariners traversing the rough waters beyond our shores for over a hundred years. Most locals are descendants of those who were on English ships seeking to discover new lands that fell victim to the treacherous seas and shipwrecked before the lighthouse was constructed. Once you arrive here, you'll discover why they never left. Prepare yourself to meet a few.

The iconic oceanfront Outer Banks Motel, on Cape Hatteras, a.k.a. 'Buxton', was constructed right on family land by one of those locals nearly 70 years ago. And continues to be owned and operated by that very local and her family. The OBM continues its tradition of old sea village hospitality but with modern upgrades and advancements to make our guests feel at home here. Having a planned out itinerary is not a necessity... just grab your beach towel, flip flops and a book and walk a few feet to the beach. Close your eyes and ponder the smell of salty air, sun and sea mist grazing your face, the gentle sound of the waves breaking on the beach, while digging your toes in the warm sand while watching the sun rise and set over the water. All that anxiety just melts away.

Every one of the OBMs' cottages and efficiency rooms are unique. Some are directly on the beach, some have superb vistas. All are just feet from the beach. We have a saltwater pool and hot tub located between the main office and the beach. There's a coin operated washer and dryer and ice machine in the back of the main office building located near the fish cleaning station. We provide you with everything you need, and nothing you don't. The local grocery store, many eateries, surf stores and tackle stores are not further than a mile away.
We have five oceanfront beach homes beach homes available on Vacation Rental By Owner. Each have two bedrooms with a queen bed and a twin bed in each bedroom. The open concept main living area has a full kitchen equipped with all the pots, pans, silverware, and dishes you'll need. Each has a sizable dining table able to accommodate six guests. And the living area has a huge couch, lounge chair and a intelligent T.V. Specifically, #107 and #108 are further out on the beach and have a enormous open deck. #10 and #11 have covered decks, and #110 has an open deck, and has an optional double queen room with a full bathroom that, if available, can turn your two bedroom beach home into a three bedroom, two bathroom beach home. There is an upcharge, but it's significantly less than if you rented each separately. Parking for one car is included, with an overflow lot located on the property.

Strategies for getting the perfect vacation property experience:

Find your perfect rental home:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Hatteras area. Reserving a rental home in Fall or Spring is a good way to save on your vacation rental. Rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of desirable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules often open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many groups book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Property management companies sometimes offer discounts for veterans. It's always a good idea to check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer customers an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost you between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for program terms and fees.
• Often, rental management companies supply Hatteras area visitors guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Planning, picking, and booking the right Hatteras rental:

• Choose a designated group leader, select your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Two Bedroom Oceanfront Beach House has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms.
• Precise information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible online. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before booking your home. Note that most property listings specify maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds in living rooms. You will need to determine what configuration is best for your group.
• Is your group looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before reserving a rental
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Extra fees or costs might be applied to your agreement.

More tips for your visit:

• Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your family's stay, record any problem areas when you arrive. text the property manager immediately to record your findings. If there is a dispute, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or coffee maker. Contact your owner. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents a lot of difficulties.
• Be a good neighbor. Often times, surrounding homes are occupied by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Residents can often help. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
• Re-check every room of the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items on check-out day. Re-check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We suggest walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host isn't available, take photos and video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent feedback to compel future bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your experience find their best rental home. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
