OCEANSIDE Waves — Sea Isle Hills Dr. — In spite of trying to find a reason to continue your search for a vacation rental, IN SPITE OF OURSELVES just may make you stop right here. Located nearly equal distance from both the ocean and Pamlico Sound — with vistas of each visible from multiple decks — this cavernous four-bedroom/three full and two-half bath home checks all the boxes for those seeking the quintessential Hatteras Island experience.

One of those boxes is that you can bring up to two dogs, so no family member is left behind. If you’re hoping to get some fishing in, there’s a fish cleaning table and an outdoor shower to rinse off after a day in or on the water. Hang out in the lower level’s media room featuring a roomy sectional couch to watch the Intelligent TV and a modest drink refrigerator to keep your beverages sufficiently chilled. There’s a adore seat/single sleeper couch and a half-bath here, too.

The first level is home to three of the home’s four bedrooms including a queen master bedroom with ensuite bath and a queen and two single bunk beds that share a full hallway bathroom. All of these rooms have access to a covered deck. The final bedroom, a king master, with a spacious ensuite bath featuring a jetted tub and access to an ocean-facing deck, is located on the second level. All of the bedrooms are equipped with Intelligent TVs.

On the top level, discover an open and airy great room that brings your family together for those memorable moments that check even more boxes — happy hours complemented by cross breezes from the wraparound decks or screened-in porch; dinners that last for hours around a spacious dining table; and family time watching favorite shows on the Intelligent TV. The family prepare will appreciate the well-equipped kitchen with plenty of room to prep family-favorite meals that can also be served at the four-seat breakfast counter or outside at the picnic table. Wind down the day with a relaxing soak in the 6-person hot tub, a ideal place to check that final box under a moonlit sky. Book IN SPITE OF OURSELVES and feel complete.

Our top Rental booking tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Waves. To find the best value, try shifting your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer great temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during June, July, and August. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• Property managers sometimes offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your family before you book.
• Property management companies usually offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for program terms and fees.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitor guides have money saving offers on nearby accommodations and attractions.

Filter your rental search:

• Begin by selecting your trip dates and a maximum budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. SUMMER SAVINGS - Oceanside Dog Friendly w/ Hot Tub, Screened Porch, Beach Nearby has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking pages. Otherwise, call the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional pet fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.
• Visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to locate nearby rentals.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

Have a fantastic stay:

• Add the owner's contact information to your smartphone. Print and take a copy of arrival/departure procedures.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a fireplace, television set or thermostat. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message can prevent quite a few difficulties.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Upon check-in, make note of any issues with the property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence just in case a dispute arises.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often, nearby homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to order delicious takeout, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Double-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all personal items at departure. Check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a excellent stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or host was great, they would love to hear about it. If anything was defective and they failed to address it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
