Beautiful views of the sound, plenty of space, and right across from a bodega that had everything we needed. The owner was very responsive. The evening we arrive I noticed the hot tub did not work and it was fixed by the next morning. I would say that there were a number of little things that did not work or haven’t been kept up the best, such as a couple of lights, a slow shower drain, etc, but for a beach house, it met my expectations. My group had a fantastic time."

We enjoyed our stay immensely with such close access to the beach in a newly renovated house.

- "This house, with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, worked out great for our family group. The kitchen/living room/great room level was especially nice; from that level we could see the ocean on one side and Pamlico Sound on the opposite side. The walk to the beach front was not bad--really not much further than the houses closest to the beach. And kids and adults alike loved the private pool. The neighborhood was quiet and the Waves area is less crowded than Nags Head, which we appreciated. Waves has great waves on the ocean, by the way. Be sure to bring your own beach towels and a couple extra kitchen towels (and a maybe a backup bathroom towel in case there are lots of you competing for (small) washer-and-dryer use time down on the lower level of the house)."

- "Located on a private street with vacant lots on either side, this is a quiet spot. Beach is just 2 blocks away, and you can see the ocean between neighboring houses from upper decks. Nice polywood outdoor furniture as opposed to the usual cheap plastic stuff. Pack a basketball and enjoy a driveway pick up game! Inside, bedroom and bathroom set up allows for down time and privacy. Bar, dining area, and sofa seating accommodate a large group. Other great touches for multiple families include 2 outdoor showers, 2 washer/dryers, 2 full refrigerators, 2 dishwashers, and double place settings/flatware. Since I'm in the kitchen cooking a lot, I also loved the surround sound speakers. Beautiful evening views from the upper deck, but also walking distance to Watermen's and a 5 minute drive to Salvo Day Use area - two of our favorite spots for enjoying sunset. If stairs are an issue for anyone in your group. this property may not be ideal (there are lots of them). Otherwise, Wave Safari is a great choice for your next vacation!!"
