SEMI-OCEANFRONT Waves – Mac Oca Ct. – Making memorable vacation memories is simple to do at MAKIN’ WAVES. This four-bedroom/two- and two-half-bath home provides a calming counterpoint to the active endeavors of a Hatteras Island vacation. Sitting just one block from the oceanfront, this is a ideal family home, offering painless beach access and sunrise to sunset vistas from a sizable deck.

Rinse off the salt and sand in the outdoor shower while the fisherman prepares their catch on the fish cleaning station before lighting up the charcoal grille. Through the dry entry under the home, you will find the first of the home’s four bedrooms. Featuring a pyramid bunk and half bath, this level is ideal for those who are late risers. Away from the bustle of upstairs, you can appreciate an entire floor to yourself. On the second level, a second pyramid bunk room and two queen bedrooms, which share a Jack-and-Jill bath, provide ample places to sleep between days in the sun. All bedrooms feature Intelligent TVs.

The third level features an open floor plan where sunrises will stream through the ocean facing windows, filling the space with striking morning light. New great room furnishings, including a queen couch bed, offer an inviting spot to watch the Intelligent TV or simply fixate on the gorgeous ocean vistas across the street. Park yourself at the kitchen counter to savor your morning cup of coffee or in one of eight chairs at dinner time for a family feast. Wind down the day on the deck as the sun sinks below the sound.

There’s no need to leave your family pups behind; two dogs up to 40 pounds are welcome, keeping your whole family together. Start making plans to book MAKIN’ WAVES for the vacation you’ve been waiting for.

Our top Waves vacation rental tips and tricks:

Money saving strategies:

• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Summertime is high season in the Hatteras area. To get the best value, shift your family's Hatteras trip dates to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warm weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or 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 loved ones at the beach.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if discounts are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites usually offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 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 ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras visitors guide when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, visitor guide magazines contain money saving offers on local attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Filter your search:

• Start by selecting your the best vacation week and a spending budget.
• Note the number beds and the configuration your family needs. Semi-Oceanfront, Dog Friendly Home in Waves with Community Beach Access Nearby has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
• Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email the host before you reserve the vacation home. Remember that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You will need to work out what bed configuration is best for your vacation group.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? 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. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement! Pet fees or costs may be applied to your invoice.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most rental search websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. .

More considerations:

• Be sure you get the owner's phone number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Protect the property owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are out, just like you would back home.
• Record any issues with the property at check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that can be valuable if damages are assessed.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like troublesome vacationers disrupting your peaceful home life. Use the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great local food and places you would have not otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can usually help. Who better to ask where to rent beach equipment, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• When it's time to leave, take a walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Walk through the property a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager isn't available, take pictures of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a terrific stay? Most rental websites make it easy for guests to provide feedback. If your rental and/or property manager 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 comments.
