OCEANVIEW Waves - Sea Vista Dr.
Great Hatteras Island vacations are appreciated at MORNING STAR. This handsome home overlooking a photogenic lake in Waves is just a short walk from the beach, with beach access at the end of the peaceful street. Also close by are a community pool and tennis courts. Shopping and eateries are close as well including REAL Watersports for the watersports enthusiast in the group. Two levels of decks – offering both shade and sun – are furnished with plenty of seating for the group and the top deck has vistas of the ocean, lake and sound. From sunrise to sunset, you have the vistas covered. Inside, 5 accommodating bedrooms await, including a king master bedroom with private full bath and slider access to the mid-level deck with 6 person hot tub. Three other bedrooms on this level (2 queens, bunk and double) access the common bath. Upstairs, a second queen bedroom offers slider access to the top deck and accesses the common bath. The great room features cathedral ceilings, water vistas, and comfortable seating around the sizable screen TV. The kitchen offers plenty of space for simple meal-prep and clean-up, and the close by dining table seats the group. A screened porch provides additional seating for morning coffee, afternoon iced tea with a good book, or casual conversation among friends. And downstairs in the entry, there is a modest refrigerator for keeping your beach drinks cold. Want to play a game? Head upstairs to the loft game room with foosball table, board games, and a futon for some competitive fun. However you choose to start your day while on vacation, make sure to start it at MORNING STAR. (Fireplace seen in photos is not available for guest use).

Tricks and tips to get the perfect Hatteras rental experience:

Get the most from your budget:

• Reserve your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules often become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in coastal NC. To find the best value, change your group's vacation to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm temperatures, , and greatly reduced traffic.
• Property managers sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans and active duty military. It's always a good idea to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
• Often, property management companies supply Hatteras area visitors guide magazines that include money-saving deals, either offered independently by local businesses, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a designated group leader, select your dates, and choose a maximum budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. OCEANVIEW WAVES MORNING STAR DOG FRIENDLY has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is often accessible on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property management company before you reserve your rental. Note that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what bed configuration is optimal for your group.
• If your family is bringing pets, search for a pet-friendly property. Get information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some property managers require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event? If so, use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are included before booking

More tips for your stay:

• Get the property manager's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your . Put the host's contact information in your smartphone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, A/V setup or appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call can prevent many issues.
• Keep your rental home locked while you are out! Don't let crooks spoil your holiday.
• To make sure damages are not linked to your family's stay, make a record of any problem areas during check in. E-mail the property manager immediately to report any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having a record of problems and contact attempts will be very helpful.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking restrictions can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will enhance your chance to make some new local friends, and resident neighbors are a great source for finding the best local scenic spots.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can often help. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the vacation property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at departure. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the rental one final time and scan for damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever you can. If the host is not available, remember to take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent time? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your property and/or host was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
