Welcome to the Sea Shanty! This laid-back beach bungalow is the ideal place to relax on Hatteras Island. 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 painless 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 savor 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-enormous 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!

Hatteras vacation rental home tips:

Get the best rental value:

• The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your vacation dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation home.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Hatteras area. Booking your vacation home in Spring or Fall is one of our best tips for saving money on your vacation. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer months.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host if your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost you 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
• Often, management companies supply Hatteras area visitors guides which will include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Make a plan and choose your prefectrental:

• Select your vacation week and maximum budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Charming oceanside beach cottage - short walk to private beach access & marinas has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is generally accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the property owner before booking your home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes pull-out couches. You'll need to establish what configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a pet-friendly property. Get specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Some property managers charge pet deposits and fees.
• Visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental

Some things to know before you go:

• Take a copy of the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many issues.
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Document any issues with the property during check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking rules is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Re-check the vacation property to confirm that you've packed all of your family's items on check-out day. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic time? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
