Beautiful house, with great accommodations. We LOVED the hammocks, there are plenty of games and puzzles to keep everyone entertained on rainy days, and the pool and hot tub were fantastic. Beverly was a great host and gave helpful recommendations for area restaurants and things to do. She even checked in with us during our stay to make sure we were satisfied. We would definitely like to return!

Waterfront Oasis direct Sound access, private dock

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 69 reviews6 months ago

After trying for a few years to schedule a family vacation, this became ‘our spot’. Of all the places we looked at, we decided this place had ‘something for everyone’, and it did not disappoint. The upper deck was our go-to place for morning coffee, and a breath-taking sunset view over the sound. The adventurers had kayaks for the sound and boogie boards for the beach. All enjoyed exploring the area, visiting museums and different beach access points. Much fun for gamers, too. Our ‘eat out’ plans changed when we saw the well-appointed kitchen. We baked with the KitchenAid, and — how many places have a perfectly seasoned cast iron pan waiting in a beautiful, modern kitchen? Plenty of towels and extra covers for the chilly nights, also, made us comfortable. Our hosts were extremely responsive before and during the trip. We never felt anything was ‘too small’ to ask. They also provided a solid guidebook. It’s clear they love this place, and want guests to love it, too.

This was our second time staying at Hatteras Happy Times and we love it there. The location is beautiful and peaceful . The house is located at the end of a street with views of the sound all around. We spent lots of time on the deck watching the birds and relaxing. We could put our paddle boards in directly across from the house. Highly recommend!

Attention to detail in this property. Great location. Beautiful sound front property with wonderful outdoor amenities. My husband and I kayaked in the sound behind the house and met the oyster farmer that is close by. The local restaurants are great and we were able to ride our bike to them. The decor was very cute.
