About this property

Tranquility Cottage - A few houses from the ocean or sound . {Waves, N.C.}

Welcome to "Tranquility Cottage", your escape to the Outer Banks for a fun, relaxing vacation in the heart of Hatteras Island. Located in the Village of Waves, this rental has direct access to the Atlantic Ocean and the Pamlico Sound. Whether you are looking for world class fishing, incredible surfing, windsurfing, kiteboarding, paddleboarding, kayaking or just wish to relax on the beach, our home will bring you peace and "Tranquility".

Our home offers 3 bedrooms, central air conditioning / heating, one full and one half bathroom plus a large outside enclosed hot/cold shower with attached changing area. Bedroom #1 has a queen size bed, TV and attached half bath. Bedroom #2 has a full size bed. Bedroom #3 has twin size bunk beds and full size sleeper sofa, TV and AM/FM receiver. The living room has a large flat screen smart TV and AM/FM receiver. Balcony has a reading desk with library of over 90 hard cover books. There is a separate laundry room with full size ,washer and dryer. The living room has a large cathedral ceiling with skylights to fill the house with sunlight during the day. The front deck has built in chairs and is large enough for private sunning. The screened back porch has a wet bar, ice maker and deck chairs for relaxing after a fun filled day to watch the sun set over the sound. There is an outside fish cleaning table with two sinks and running water. Top it off with a large outside charcoal picnic grill and you will call this your 'home away from home!' We vacation here ourselves, so it is maintained to the highest standards.

Known for it's prevailing southwest winds, Hatteras Island offers windsurfing and kiteboarding conditions like no other. The surf has incredible breaks for surfers of all abilities. If fishing is your fancy, it is available on multiple levels, including surf-fishing, pier-fishing, and offshore or inshore charters. If you like to drive on the beach, there are multiple entrance ramps available for your 4x4 vehicle.

Walking to the ocean or sound takes just minutes. Leave your car in the driveway and discover the fun filled activities just a short walk away. At the end of the street is a watersports shop, where kayaks, jet-skis, surfboards, kiteboards and paddle boards are all available for rent. Never tried any of these? They offer lessons to all levels as well. There is a Dairy Queen directly at the end of our road where you can enjoy an ice cream sundae after a hearty dinner at several restaurants only minutes away.

Regardless of where you have vacationed in the past, 'Tranquility Cottage' will offer you and your family a peaceful and relaxing environment. We hope you will want to return year after year like many of our guests.

Week in Waves

This was my first time staying in Waves. The house was as presented on VRBO. It was clean and orderly, and had everything needed for our stay. We had no complaints at all. It was a short walk to the beach. Tom is an excellent host and took a great interest in making sure we had a good stay.

Nice home away from home!

We enjoyed the house and the location was just a short walk to the beach. We also enjoyed the sound-side which was great for smaller children and just a short drive away. Tom was easy to contact and work with. We had a great stay.

Down Time

Owner was excellent with communicating. We had a very relaxing time. We ended up shooting the gap between the two hurricanes, so our timing was perfect. Perfect location 5 minutes walk to sound and 5 minutes walk to the beach . We watch the sunrise on the ocean side, sunset on the sound side. The house was as described. We had everything we needed for our stay. Neighborhood felt very safe and we had no issues with anyone. Definitely would stay again.😊

Great price and excellent location!

We came down to the outer banks to do some family fishing and playing in the ocean. I'll start by saying the owner of the property was nothing but excellent. Any questions I had were answered before I could ask them! The house was clean and quaint! The neighborhood was very calm and quiet. The community has a right of way access to the beach so you can walk from the house direct to the ocean! ( Maybe a 6 to 7 minute walk with a toddler, cooler and fishing equipment) one huge perk was the owner has an ice maker on the property so we didn't have to buy ice everytime we went fishing! Overall we had an outstanding experience and the price was unbelievably great! We will be renting again when the speckled trout start running inshore! Thanks to the owners for opening up their home and giving us an amazing experience!

Poorly cleaned cottage

Cottage was very unclean and dusty. When we got there I had to sweep the entire house and clean all the bathrooms. Property was overgrown porches were not in good shape. The carpet was very unclean. When we arrived the trash can in the driveway was completely full of pizza boxes and food from previous renters. The wooden walkway to the stairs is very dangerous my kids tripped multiple times on the boards. When I rent a place for vacation I expect it to be clean. All and all the place needs some major TLC and a major update.
