About this house rental

ALOHA HATTERAS fronts Askins Creek, overlooks Pamlico Sound, is a 5 minute walk to the beach and 5 min drive to Avon Pier. It is also 3min drive to the island's best grocery shopping...key to keeping the chef happy! The kitchen-greatroom layout with views and a cathedral ceiling is the perfect beach house configuration.

PLEASE LOOK AT PICTURES: we want happy guests! The decor, like most comparable rentals on Hatteras, is largely late 80's when it was built. It is a retro beach house look with original cabinetry and classic durable beach house furniture. Fixtures, flooring, paint, cushions have all been updated.

Unrestricted, panoramic views of/over water include fish jumping, birds feeding, colorful Pamlico Sound windsurfers/kiteboarders silently drifting by in the distance, and fantastic sunsets--are all narrated to the sound of nature.
Come enjoy this fabulous view and it's relative isolation (...not sitting on your deck staring at your neighbor like a lot of the 'competition'...even a lot of the 'oceanfront' cottages only have a view of the back of dunes...). Alohas Hatteras is perfectly situated: the beach is a 5-7 minute walk away, the shared pool a short drive away, and the incredible sunset views of Askin’s Creek/Pamlico Sound from the decks and great room.
Experience an intimate relationship with the beauty and magic of Hatteras Island, the gem of the outerbanks.

Aloha is Hawaiian for welcome, farewell and love. The owners, whose children grew up in the Hawaiian Islands when stationed there with the military, want you to fall in love with Hatteras Island/the ‘other islands’ of the outer banks. ALOHA HATTERAS is your passport and its deck is truly one of those “close your eyes and think of a favorite, peaceful place” kind of settings The vista is dynamic with no neighbors in your field of view enjoy: the Great Egret or Blue Herons feed to the sound of song bird music and fish jumping in the morning, striking sunsets over Pamlico sound in the evening, and undiminished stars from the deck’s 6 person hot tub at night. Forget your car and walk to the beach for that early morning stroll, the midday sun, the evening tides. Windsurfers, kite boarders, and families with small children will love the privacy of the readily available, protected, shallow sandy beaches of Pamlico Sound.. Fishermen also have access to Hatteras Island's only fishing pier; (they also rent equipment).

Bedrooms are on the lower floor with 2 baths; there is a half bath on the top floor and rustic outdoor shower at ground level. (Like most Hatteras Island rentals, we do not provide linens and towels. However, you can rent them; ask Nadine for a suggested vendor.)

Kitchen: well equipped with pots/pans, dishes, glasses, cups, knives/cutting boards, mixer, coffee maker, microwave, toaster, and many more.

The ground level has ample concrete parking, outside shower, charcoal grill, and carport for rainy days.

The 1st floor has four bedrooms and two baths with shaded deck and fantastic views off two bedrooms.

Living room: ALOHA HATTERAS’ large upper level great room with tall cathedral ceilings has unrestricted panoramic views of Askin’s Creek and Pamlico Sound, lots of glass, screened in porch--'postcard' views of Hatteras Island's quiet side.

SPECIAL NOTES
*LOOK AT THE PHOTOs ! the 30+ yr old home was recently ‘updated’ but retains many original features that the photos seek to accurately display.
*Best grocery shopping on the island is 3min away; key for cooking in [we have found that even the best planned dinner involves at least two trips to the Food Lion...big difference between being around the corner vs 25min away in Hatteras, Rodanthe/Salvo]
*also a Dollar Tree 3min away for inexpensive sundries
*Aloha Hatteras is MANAGED by the OWNERs.
*Sorry - but No Smoking
*Although SOME have launched a KAYAK into Askins Creek from the property; MANY have found the shore too soft and muddy to do so.

The Outer Banks and the National Seashore offer a fascinating combination of natural and cultural resources, and provide a wide variety of recreational opportunities:

* The uncrowded, pristine beach (voted best on the coast) is perfect for families.
* Want to explore? Take the free ferry from Hatteras Village to Ocracoke Island, home of the infamous pirate, Blackbeard; also a small arts community
*Visit the Wright Brothers Memorial and Museum and the Dunes at Jockey's Ridge State Park (50 miles north).
* Fisherman can choose surfcasting, inlet fishing, ocean fishing at Avon Pier, sound fishing (think giant salt water lake), or sport fishing offshore for flounder, drum, blues, mackerel, tuna, and more; although Askins Creek looks inviting, its fishing is not.
* Discover multiple intimate restaurants with the Outer Banks own brand of beach hospitality rarely seen in vacation destinations. Fresh seafood; Avon, alone, has two shops (check out Surf's up)
* Surfers can take advantage of the location central to the Outer Banks hottest surf spots including Hatteras Light House, S-Turns, and Frisco Pier.
* Windsurfers, Kiteboarders, and Kayakers can access the warm, shallow waters of Pamlico Sound. World famous Canadian Hole Haul-over day use area and Kite Point are less than a half mile south.
*Avon has a bike path--great for exploring, for easy trips to the stores, or outings to the beach, pier or pool; bring your bikes or rent—delivery usually available .

The beach house was a nice quiet stay, and plenty of room for everyone . We got to see a baby deer and its mother living in the tall grass behind the house , which was pretty exciting. The back porch was my favorite spot to relax. So peaceful and lots of wildlife to watch. The beds were all comfortable and the tv’s in the bed bedrooms were a plus. The only downside was that the washer and dryer were in a room outside of the home all the way downstairs. Also for anyone with bad hips or knees , the steps leading up to get in the house were a lot.

First, great location and the AC works great. Nice hot tub. However, it really does not sleep 10 Furniture is outdated and dirty. Mold and mildew on pull out sofa. Other sofas dirty and not clean. The faucet in the kitchen was broken, my brother cleaned the dishwasher filter as no dishes were getting clean. The vegetation was overgrown and scraped our cars. Each bedroom was not clean and debris all over the floors. The vacuum cleaner did not work very well as we used it to clean for ourselves. Overall not satisfied at all and not worth the amount of money I spent. Very disappointed.

We recently stayed at this vacation house for our family trip, which included two children (ages 6 and 7) and five adults. The location was wonderfully quiet, private, and serene. The house itself was spotless and spacious, providing plenty of room for everyone to relax and move around comfortably. We loved that there were balconies on each floor, offering great views. However, be prepared for quite a few steps, as the layout includes multiple levels. While the beach was not within walking distance, we opted to drive there, which worked out well. The community pool was conveniently close, and the kids absolutely loved spending time there. We also purchased an RV pass to drive onto the beach, which made beach outings easy and enjoyable. There were plenty of activities in the area to keep us entertained throughout our stay. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would definitely rent this property again.

Upon pulling in to drive, the un trimmed trees, bushes and wild vines scratched the sides of my truck. We had to bring food, kitchen towels, toilet paper, bath & beach towels, bedding, shower soap, shampoo & conditioner, hair dryers. There were over 20 steps leading to the first floor, another 8-10 more leading to the kitchen/LR area. The home was hot, but moderately clean upon arrival, dead bugs, including roaches on the floor upstairs. The furniture was old, ok considering it was dog friendly rental. The outdoor furniture was broken and unusable. The view off of the deck was gorgeous, however. We enjoyed watching the fish, birds, and sunsets! The washer/dryer were an afterthought, as they were located on the lowest level inside a storage space outdoors, which wasn’t convenient or lit properly for safety purposes. Television was difficult to access and WI-FI off line when we arrived to Aloha Hatteras property. I had to call the tv service myself, following instructions to get it to work. We had to watch APPS such as YouTube for entertainment, which truly annoyed my elderly parents. It seemed to us that the owner of Aloha Hatteras hadn’t updated anything but the flooring, which was a mess friendly type of vinyl. Nice choice! My parents and I made the best of the situation for a week. I swept the floors and looked past the imperfections, vacationing in “Retro space” for the week. If you like 60’s & 70’s vibes this place is for you! The HEAT/AC works.

That place worked out just right for us. Close enough for kids not to get bored, but seclude enough for us old people to relax. Perfect combination for us. Thanks.

I left Aloha Hatteras kicking and screaming. I highly recommend this home. It was sparkling clean. The bedding provided a wonderful night's sleep. The kitchen is very-well stocked with high quality cookware. The open living area was great for cooking and hanging out with family. The view is beautiful. I really loved that the decks off the living area and bedrooms are enclosed. (Super nice when you have a dog.) We enjoyed the nice hot tub, too. The location is extremely quiet and private - which is hard to come by at any beach - but very convenient to grocery shopping, restaurants and gift shops. The host was also very responsive and kind. I've stayed in many places all along OBX and this property was by far my favorite. . Aloha Hatteras made for the best vacation I've had in many years. Many thanks!

We gathered as a family with our 96 year old father. The house is a lovely place for this. Everything is so clean and the great room makes visiting, meals and relaxing convenient for everyone. Sitting on the top deck and watching Askins Creek is a favorite of all. We are all over 60. We fished, birded, did touristy things, sat and drank tea, and just absorbed this beautiful place in this comfortable home.
