The beach is just up the street, and you’re close enough to run home for a snack, drink, or short break from the sun. Crabbing, chartered fishing and scuba boats are just across the Village on the broad Pamlico Sound. Both the Hatteras Village Park and Hatteras Landing, featuring shopping, marinas, and dining, are close by. Plus, the complimentary ferry to Ocracoke is an simple walk from the Sea Shanty. A short distance more takes you to the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum and Ramp 55 to the ends of the island.

Outside, you’ll appreciate the covered deck, sporting cheerful string lights and new decking. The stairs lead directly to the beach, just a few homes down. Wildlife abounds, with tons of greenery and estuaries close by…you’re sure to spot the local deer among the sea oats on the dunes, brown pelicans and other sea birds, nesting sea turtles, and so much more on the shore. After a visit to the beach, rinse off in the well-lit, hot-water outdoor shower before stepping inside.

Inside the Sea Shanty, you’ll find an open living space with plenty of room to gather. The well-equipped kitchen features everything you need to sauté, bake, grille, or boil. Make memories at the additional-sizable dining table over coffee or an ice-cold beer. Break out a puzzle, board game, or cards – poker, anyone? – to occupy your evenings after a home-cooked seafood boil or a visit to one of Hatteras’ award-winning seafood eateries. At the end of the nighttime, three bedrooms await, all with new streaming TVs and new beds. Rest assured the Sea Shanty will be a calming and comfortable bungalow for your vacation to the wild winds and blowing sands of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore!

Sticking to a rental budget:

• In the Hatteras area, The sooner your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental properties are reserved early. Booking your rental up to 12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.

Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
