About this property

Oceanside, sound view, dog friendly, private pool, hot tub, golf cart, game room

OCEANSIDE WITH VIEWS OF THE SOUND-You're "On Island Time" in the heart of North Carolina's scenic Outer Banks! This five-bedroom/four-bathroom home is conveniently located in the village of Waves on beautiful Hatteras Island. Just a short distance from world renowned REAL Watersports where you can hit the waves learning to kite board and surf like a professional. If you prefer your water without the surf, you will love the oversized 33'x 15' private pool where you can spend your days lounging and soaking up the sun. Just a few steps from the pool deck you will find the covered outdoor shower and toilet, convenient for quick trips from the beach and pool!

You will find the four-person golf cart parked under the house, near the entry. Who doesn't love riding around on a summer night checking out the scenery? And, while this home is only a short walk from the private beach, the golf cart is very handy for transporting beach gear and family.

As you enter the home, head up the short flight of stairs to the lower level. Here you will find three newly renovated and furnished king bedrooms and a newly furnished bunk room with two twin bunks. Each room is equipped with a television, Roku device for streaming services, and a subscription to Spectrum TV, for your favorite channels. Also on this level are two bathrooms, the laundry room and game room. Kids will have fun trying out their skills at the foosball table! Head outside to the lower deck where the six-person hot tub is located. Perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing, touring the lighthouses or shopping.

On the main level, you will find another king bedroom and a full bathroom. This level is open concept with a living room, dining room, kitchen and ship's watch. Step out into the screened-in porch where you can stretch out on the outdoor sectional or enjoy a meal under the stars. End your perfect day on the upper deck watching beautiful sunsets over the Pamlico sound.

Did we mention this is a dog friendly home? We have a large size crate for those that need their own space. The home has a spacious fenced in yard around the pool. The subdivision has very walkable, wide paved roads with doggie stations along the way. Sidewalks line the main road, perfect for walking, biking, jogging. And, unlike other parts of OBX, your furry friends are welcome on Hatteras Island beaches year-round!

*Professionally laundered towels, washcloths, hand towels, beach towels provided for each guests. Beds will be made except top bunks. Linens will be provided.

LOCATION IS EVERYTHING!
Located in the upscale community of St. Waves, this neighborhood has private beach access, a community pool and tennis courts. Wide, paved streets are perfect for bike rides, walking the dogs and accessing the community lake. While there is parking for four vehicles, you may find you never have to leave! You are literally a few steps away from restaurants and Waves Market and Deli. Forgot something? They will have it 363 days a year.

Visitors love this area because they can take their vehicles onto the beaches. There are several spots within a few minutes' drive where you can air down your four-wheel drive vehicle and cruise out on the beach. Set up your canopies and cooking gear, play all day! If the waves are too much, just outside of town you will find the perfect place on the sound. The Salvo Day Use area has a spacious beach, clean bathrooms and plenty of parking. Perfect for kids, kayaking and canoes! You can catch a glimpse of the kiteboarders as they sail the "slick".

You are a short 20-minute drive to Avon where there are many more restaurants and a large grocery store. Further down you can explore the south end towns of Buxton, Frisco and Hatteras. Don't forget to check out historic Hatteras Lighthouse. You can catch the ferry for a day trip to Ocracoke Island.

Head north through the scenic and protected dunes of Hatteras Island, stop by Bodie lighthouse on your way to explore historic Roanoke Island and the quaint seaside village of Manteo. Or head into the towns of Nags Head, Kill Devil Hills and Kitty Hawk for a day of sightseeing at The Wright Memorial and Jockey's Ridge State Park. Here you will find putt-putt, movie theaters and all the conveniences of home.

Hatteras Island is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers who love the sea. It's a haven for beach babies, stargazers and nature lovers to explore pristine beaches and dunes. A place for history buffs to visit historic lighthouses and the Graveyard of the Atlantic. We hope to see all of you soon "On Island Time".

Amazing OBX vacation

Beautiful house that has everything you need for a large group from bedding, towels, kitchen accessories, etc. We had the best time relaxing and enjoying the weather and location.

Thumbs up

The overall stay was pretty easy, the property was more dog friendly than expected which was a pleasant surprise and the communication was great with the owners. I think there are a few lights that were out while we stayed it didn’t affect the overall experience but would have made getting around the property when dark much easier. Overall no major complaints and we all enjoyed our stay.

Great clean home!

We had great communication with the owners from the time of booking until the end of our trip. The house and everything was clean. For our mid Sept visit, the pool was still comfortable for our kids to play in. We enjoyed quiet mornings having coffee on the upper deck. Our dogs enjoyed hanging out with us in the backyard. The beach wasn’t too far to get to, and the golf cart helped us get our belongings out there easily!

Great spot to relax!

We absolutely loved Doug and Sarah’s little piece of heaven. They were excellent hosts that made sure we had everything we needed for our stay right down to the updated weather forecasts for our stay and recommendations for what to do when the weather wasn’t great for beach going. Doug went above and beyond to make sure that my disabled husband had the information he needed to get him to the beach and let’s not forget that it’s pet friendly so our service dog was right at home. The pool was a hit with the kids and adults alike. There was plenty of room as the pool is a good size. Doug and Sarah’s place is perfectly located with easy access to the ferry to Ocracoke as well as getting to Manteo to check out the aquarium so we really enjoyed that as well. We would definitely recommend staying and would stay again in the future.

Our stay in Waves

Over all had a great time. Room for improvement on cleanliness, food in microwave, oven, dishwasher had mold and grime on sides and top of it, some of the utensils had food on them. Found hair in frig and on bathroom floor on middle hall bathroom. Also vacuumed because they were crumbs/ food on floor in living room area. I know the owners are new and working on things! 😊 Just might want to check on what your cleaners are doing. That was my only real complaint, everything else was great.

All 4 kids agreed: best vacation ever

This home was perfect for our vacation needs. It’s not the newest, fanciest house, but it’s comfortable and has everything you need to keep kids (and dogs) happy. Some highlights: 1. Very communicative and kind owners. You can tell they are committed to making sure your stay is great. 2. Huge pool, clean and well-maintained with lots of toys and floaties already there and inflated for you. The depth isn’t marked but I’m guessing 4 feet at each end and 6 feet in the middle. 3. The golf cart was very useful for hauling beach gear (and grandparents) to the beach access walkway. 4. The neighborhood is quiet, the local market (which has fantastic food) is easily walkable without going on to the main road, and the beach is an easy flat walk (or 1 minute golf cart ride). The town is very small but has the market (our favorite), a Dollar General, a handful of local restaurants, and a Dairy Queen. Avon is an easy 20-min drive and has most everything you could want. 5. Truly kid and dog friendly! From the large comfy sectional perfect for a pile of kids to the shelves full of board games to the dog dishes and blankets and crate, this home is very easy to relax in. It feels like a home people live in. The carpet turned out to be a bonus as there are no squeaky floors (or doors)—perfect for getting the kids to sleep then sneaking back upstairs to hang out with other grownups. Our kids begged to come back to the same house next year. What more could you ask for?

About the host

Hosted by Doug & Sarah

Host profile image
I introduced my husband to the Outer Banks in 2013. He is originally from Idaho and moved to the East Coast with the Navy. He spent many years living in Virginia, but never made the trip down to explore the beaches. I am from Richmond and spent family vacations making wonderful memories in OBX. Needless to say, he was hooked on his very first trip. What's not to love! You have the ocean AND the sound. Every day there are beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The people are very friendly.

We have stayed everywhere on the barrier islands, from Corova to Ocracoke and all places in between. The Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo area has always been our favorite. It truly feels like an escape. Away from the overcrowded and commercialized beaches, it is a nature and water lover's paradise. In December of 2023, we took a leap of faith and purchased our beach home. We are so excited to be here and be able to put our touches on the house. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

This area of Hatteras Island is the perfect launching spot for exploring everything OBX has to offer. Head south 15 minutes to the town of Avon for many dining and shopping options. South just 12 more minutes is Buxton where you can easily visit the Hatteras lighthouse. Keep driving 10 minutes to Frisco and explore Frisco Native American Museum & Natural History Center. Ten more minutes down the road at you will be in Hatteras, the furthest point south on the island. Make sure you stop in the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum while exploring Hatteras. It is fun to take the car or pedestrian ferry to Ocracoke and spend the day exploring this old fishing village and beaches, don't miss visiting the Ocracoke Lighthouse. A visit to Blackbeard's Cove followed by a stop for ice cream will top the trip south off.

A 20-minute drive north will bring you to Manteo and Nags Head. In Manteo you can learn about the Lost Colony, visit the quaint downtown area for some shopping or head to the wharf where Wicked Tuna is filmed. Nags Head has lots of dining options, and kid friendly attractions. Plenty of stores available and Outlet Malls. A bit further north is the birthplace of aviation, Kitty Hawk and the Wright Brothers National Memorial. Take a day trip and head further north to Corolla and its lighthouse or take an off roading beach tour to see the wild horses of Corova.

The house is located in the most walkable/bikeable section of the village of Waves. You are steps away from the well-stocked Waves Market and Deli. Check out their delicious deli sandwiches or pack a quick lunch for the beach. By the way, they have a great beer and wine selection.

You will love to watch the kiteboarders out on the sound and the best place to see them in action is at Watermen's Grill, just 0.2 miles north. Grab a bite and hang out on the patio to watch the kiteboarders in action. REAL Watersports brings surfers and kiteboarders from all over the world.
