A short five-minute walk to enjoy the wide beaches of the Atlantic shoreline or sunsets on the Pamlico Sound, you’ve found your vacation home. You will experience the ultimate paradise for watersport enthusiasts with the off-shore winds that make this destination a kiteboarding and windsurfing haven.

Inside the coastal farmhouse, you will find an open living area on the main level that's beautifully appointed with a large-screen TV, a stocked kitchen, and a large dining table with all the necessities you need for your stay. Let the kids do their thing downstairs while you cook on one of two grills (a 28" Blackstone flat-top grill + charcoal grill). Everyone will have fun stargazing or enjoying s'mores at the backyard fire pit at night. Ask what constellations can be seen there!

There are 3 bedrooms on the top level that share one bathroom. (The 4th bedroom is on the lower level with an ensuite bathroom.) Two additional full bathrooms are available just steps away from the third level with the 3 bedrooms. The primary room has a king bed and TV. The second guest room has a queen bed and Roku-ready TV. The third guest room has bunks that sleep four on twin beds, also with a Roku TV. The fourth guest room is on the lower level with a queen bed/ ensuite full bath for you to enjoy and includes an entertainment area – play board games, watch movies on the large TV or play foosball in the adjacent garage. This level is heated with 2 oscillating fans during the cold months. You will need to turn them on upon arrival if you are using this space. They are turned off when not in use for safety reasons.

Linens and towels with beds made are included except for top bunks, in which the sheets are provided. One bath, hand, and wash towel are provided for each guest. If you would like extras, you can purchase them from housekeeping directly. We provide beach chairs, beach wagons, umbrellas, and chairs for your five-minute walk to the wide beach, where you can experience surf fishing, playing in the sand, or relaxation. The laundry room with a washer/dryer is available for your use.

We provide starters of laundry pods, dish pods, coffee pods, paper towels, kitchen hand towel, dish cloth, dish liquid, soap, toilet paper, and trash bags to get you going. We recommend picking up additional items such as extra paper products, special toiletries, more coffee, and any specific kitchen supplies you may require for the rest of your vacation. Due to sensitivities, we do not provide shampoo, conditioner or body wash.

We are well-equipped with all the beach gear you need for you to enjoy the beach or the sound at the Salvo Day area (a 5-8 minute drive). With its proximity to 4x4 beaches and surf fishing, attractions such as kiteboarding, surfing, kayaking, jet skiing, rock climbing, shopping, and deep-sea fishing, you’re sure to find something fun to do for your family. Enjoy a nice day trip to Ocracoke Island via a short ferry ride for deep-sea fishing, shopping, and great restaurants. You're close to all the action - walking distance to the beach, the sound, world-famous REAL Watersports at Waterman’s Bar and Grill, and access to the Tri-Villages sidewalk that bridges Rodanthe, Waves, and Salvo shops and restaurants.

We can provide a list of activities, walking directions to the beach, where to go for food and fun, and an overview of the area. A Ring camera is located on the exterior garage.

GREAT family getaway!

The house was just a short walk to the beach and had everything our family needed. They even had beach toys, and a buggy in the garage to tote the stuff there! Our daughters loved bunk beds and our dog was able to relax and enjoy the breeze on the patio. Highly recommend staying here, the place has everything you’ll need with ample space for a family of any size! Thanks again for the great stay.

Whispering Pines Waves, NC

Beautiful property with all the essentials for a week + stay. Lovely quiet neighborhood. Our group had children, parents and grandparents. There was plenty of space for everyone to sprawl out. We felt safe and comfortable.

Great Location

Great Location who doesn’t like walking distance to the beach and DAIRY QUEEN. House was what was advertised and the owners replied quickly to our needs. Had plenty of things to go to the beach. Great restaurants near by as well as adventure. Beach was awesome and the porch of the house was a great location to just plain relax. Thanks

Great stay in the Outer Banks

Whispering Pines house in Waves worked out perfectly for my family which consisted of 4 adults and 1 dog. Many amenities are offered including linens at no additional cost. There was also no pet fee :) We appreciated the cleanliness of the home, the great location where you are able to walk to the sound or the beach, fully stocked kitchen, two coffee makers with all the 'fixings' and tv's in every room. The guest experience was great. The owners were super responsive and they communicated everything to us in an extremely timely manner. Rebecca was wonderful to work and correspond with. She took the time to ensure we arrived and had no problems, and then communicated with departure instructions and followed up after our rental was complete to ensure we were satisfied. Of course we were!
