SEMI-OCEANFRONT – Sea Vista Dr. – It’s a tall order to experience a 360-degree view of Hatteras Island, but IPANEMA WAVES pulls it off with three levels of elevated design and perspective, revealing ocean to sound vistas that will take your breath away. While this six-bedroom/six- and one-half-bath home will have you reveling in the memorable sunrises and sunsets each day of your stay, there’s so much more that will lead you to exhale in dreamy contentment.

Located on a cul-de-sac in a peaceful neighborhood, the home is just a fast walk to the boardwalk leading to the beach. A pond sits behind the home and beyond that, the sound. But the closest form of water is the private saltwater pool, where the color of the floor mimics the blue sky above. A tiki bar provides the ideal option for a refreshment respite. Nearby is an outdoor shower and a fish-cleaning station with water and lights for the avid angler. An all-level elevator is conveniently located on the ground level. Take a break from the sun in the game room that’s located just one flight up from the pool area and features a Intelligent TV, pool table, and arcade game, along with a kitchenette where it’s painless to fix a quick snack and drink with a wet bar, microwave, air fryer/toaster oven and full-size refrigerator. Savor the bug-complimentary breezes of the screened-in porch to appreciate your snack. Also sharing this level is a bunk room featuring two single bunk beds and an ensuite bath.

Take the elevator or stairs to the next level and discover four more master bedrooms: three kings and a pyramid bunk room that includes a workstation. All the home’s bedrooms feature Intelligent TVs. The final bedroom, a master king, is located on the top level and features an ensuite bathroom. Here, too, is the wide-open space that will inspire your family to spend time together. Make meal prep duties a family affair in the beautiful chef’s kitchen featuring two dishwashers, a double sink, 36-inch cooktop, microwave, granite countertops and a cavernous island to prep and dine. Settle into the great room couches for an evening of streaming on the Intelligent TV, or head out onto the sound-facing deck where a six-person hot tub waits to sooth you into contentment. As the sun begins its absorbing descent below the sound’s horizon, you’ll realize you just experienced the ideal day, and those memories are forever yours. Make IPANEMA WAVES yours by booking it soon.

Tricks and tips for getting the best rental home experience:

Finding your perfect rental home:

• June, July, and August are high season in the Hatteras area. Booking a rental in the 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. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• The sooner you can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved early. Booking your rental six - twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a special promotion or discount.
• Property managers frequently offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which commonly will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras visitors guide magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides have offers and deals for local shops and restaurants.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Select a designated group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Semi-Oceanfront Home in Waves with Private Pool, Hot Tub, and Game Room has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras vacation rental search.
• Precise information regarding bedrooms and bed counts is generally available on booking websites. Otherwise, contact the property manager before reserving your rental. Remember that most listings specify maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Visiting for a single event or attraction? Try a map search to find nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair accessibility, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Some rental properties allow pets, but others don't. Acceptable types of dog or cat, size and breeds may be restricted, and added fees may apply. Ask the property management company about allowable breeds and types before booking.

Tips for your stay:

• Get the property manager's contact number and check in/check out procedures for your . Store the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain that damages are not linked to your family's stay, note any problem areas upon check in. Contact the host right away to record any pre-existing damages. If there is a dispute about who is responsible, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. You'll enhance your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are often a terrific source for finding the best local spots.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Lock your rental while you're out and about. Protect the owner's property and your things!
• Upon check-out, take a final walk-through to make sure you haven't forget anything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Inspect the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Did you have a fantastic vacation? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was wrong and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
