Beautifully set up, walking distance to both the beach and the bay for sunrise and sunset, driving distance to Dollar General, several small restaurants and live entertainment. Accommodations with bedding and space were amazing. Everything you would need for the house for an entire week is there, including coffee pot, multiple crockpots and steam pots, pots, pans, and dishes! Pool and hot tub were awesome as well! All of the beach equipment you would need is available as well!

Our 3 generation family of 11 had an amazing stay here! I had a couple of questions for the owner and he promptly replied! Hot tub and pool were a great getaway from the beach. From the deck, we watched sunrises over the beach and sunsets over the sound. Very short and easy walk to the beach. We couldn’t have asked for a better deal! Highly recommend!

Waves Family Vacation

The house had plenty of space for our party of 7 adults, a teen and two infants. The pool, hot tub and billiard room were great for when we were not out and about. Kitchen and grill were great for meal prep. The central location of Waves makes it more convenient to visit north and south OBX attractions. Sunday check-in/out avoids the Saturday rush. Had a great week.
