Notes from the host
Mother of Waves
OCEANFRONT Waves — Sea Vista Dr. — If having your head in the clouds on a sunny beach surrounded by your favorite people sounds like the perfect vacation, then MOTHER OF WAVES is the perfect place to hit pause and let it happen. Perched on the edge of the ocean dunes, this seven-bedroom/six- and one-half bath oceanfront home is an ideal family paradise providing lots of space — both personal and communal — that allows everyone to discover their own comfort zone.
Upon arrival, unload the car into the convenient cargo lift and relax with a first-day dip in the refreshing private pool. Stretch your legs with a stroll along the beach, perhaps catching a pod of dolphins at play. Return to refresh with an outdoor shower and a renewed ambition to cue up a billiards challenge in the ground-level game room featuring a pool table, kitchenette with wet bar and full-size refrigerator, high-top bar and a huge Roku TV. There’s a washer/dryer on this level, too, along with a pyramid bunk (with trundle) room for the kids and a king master bedroom.
Four more bedrooms occupy the second level. Two are king masters with ensuite baths and two additional king bedrooms share a hallway bath. One has a work desk and provides access to the deck and a six-person hot tub where you can enjoy a soothing soak as the day morphs into a starlit night. All of the bedrooms feature Roku TVs.
The third level is a bright, soaring space brilliantly designed to bring everyone together. Here you’ll find a fabulous oceanfront deck with plenty of seating to enjoy your coffee as the sun rises over the horizon in the morning and cocktails as it sets later in the evening. There’s a half-bath, a sunroom, and a well-equipped kitchen that can easily accommodate more than one cook at mealtime. Gather around the eat-at kitchen counter with four stools or the 12-seat dining table for those meals that last well into the night; then move the action to the great room to catch up on your favorite shows on the large Roku TV. If the kids are bored with your choice of programming, there’s a bonus space on the fourth level with another TV, a foosball table, and a pyramid bunk. The seventh bedroom, a king master with a private deck and in-room Whirlpool® tub overlooking the ocean is also located on this level.
MOTHER OF WAVES is dog friendly and up to two furry friends are welcome. It also offers the added amenity of access to the St. Waves community pool and tennis courts and close proximity to the Rodanthe Pier. Don’t let this one get away, book it today.
