OCEANVIEW Waves - Sea Vista Dr. - Formerly Morning Star - Great Hatteras Island vacations are adored at S'MORES & SHORES. 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 six-person hot tub. Three other bedrooms on this level (2 kings, bunk and double) access the common bath. Upstairs, a fourth king 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 enormous screen TV. The kitchen offers plenty of space for simple meal-prep and clean-up, and the close by dining table seats the group. Guests can choose between a screened-in porch and a cozy loft area that provide 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. Head outside to the outdoor gaming area with foosball table and ping pong table for some competitive fun, or sit around the firepit under the stars and riminess on vacation memories made. However you choose to spend your day while on vacation, make sure to start it at S'MORES & SHORES. (Fireplace seen in photos is not available for guest use).
