Summary:
Golf Cart included for any newly-booked weekly rental between 5-31-25 and 8-30-25!! Come experience why everyone loves staying at OBX Life Vacation Rental Properties! Freshly updated and ready to host your friends and family, this beautiful, spacious, semi-oceanfront stunner is suited to large multi-family vacations! Island Pines is situated in a private, quiet location on the end of the cul-de-sac on beautiful Island Pines Dr. in Waves, NC! This spectacular Outer Banks property is mere steps from the dunes and ocean. You'll enjoy a calm, serene atmosphere at Island Pines, surrounded by gorgeous pines and cedars. Relaxation abounds as you enjoy the private pool, hot tub, or soak up some rays on one of the many spacious, wrap-around decks.

Island Pines features five spacious master bedrooms, all with convenient private baths. The kitchen and great room on the upper level are a natural gathering space and are large enough to gather your family and friends for dinner, movies, puzzles, and games! Above the great room is a bonus loft--perfect for reading, playing one of the multiple board games from our game collection, or to quietly sneak off and return phone calls or emails.

The well-appointed kitchen features a large ice maker—perfect for filling your coolers before heading to the beach, two dishwashers, and an oversized refrigerator. With ample seating and an island for serving, this kitchen was made for large gatherings!

The upper level features one spacious master bedroom with a king bed, private bath, jacuzzi tub, and separate shower. This room has a sliding door to the sun deck where guests can enjoy quiet morning cups of coffee, a view of the yard and pool, gorgeous ocean views, or just soak up some sunshine.
The mid-level features four bedrooms: Two master bedrooms with private baths, king beds, and sliding doors to a covered deck with ocean views, another king bedroom and a bunk room with two sets of pyramid bunk beds. The king room and bunk room share a full bathroom located in the hallway.

The lower level features two large master bedrooms with king beds, as well as private baths. A third bedroom on the lower level has pyramid bunk beds and has access to the shared hall bathroom. Our young and old guests, alike, dream of our spacious game room with pool table, television, wet-bar, and full sized refrigerator! The game room walks out to the pool and hot tub, conveniently allowing snacks and cold drinks to be just a few steps away!

On the right side of the house is a large, private lot for your group’s corn hole tournament and also for evening gatherings and roasting marshmallows around the propane fire pit.

Island Pines is a quick two-minute walk from the beach. Guests can walk a few more minutes and visit the Rodanthe pier and enjoy deep water fishing. Waves, NC is a world-renowned location for kite-surfing and windsurfing. Guests can take a quick five minute walk visit one of two lesson and equipment businesses.

Great rental
Super clean house directly across from the beach. Ocean views & breeze. Beds are comfortable, quality linens, central A/C that kept the house comfortable during a heat wave. Fully stocked kitchen. Good supply of beach items for use including chairs, umbrella, beach cart, toys, spike ball and cornhole. Would definitely stay again!

Dog and Family friendly
We were pleasantly surprised by all the amenities of this property. We have a dog, and appreciated the gated deck so that the dog could hang with us on the porch. When we went down to see what was available for the beach I found a great light weight tent, corn hole Fridays, boogie boards chairs…Sven a Charcoal grill, with charcoals, lighter and starter. We don’t crate the dog because he is really chill but they even had a crate folded up under the bed. The location was perfect. Just over the hill to the beach. And the breeze off the water was amazing. The rest of VA was in a heat wave but we would have never known. The Hot tub was the best in the evenings. We aren’t really a streaming family so the tv was kinda lame. (For the kids, but mom loved not having to compete with the television. And they figured out how to stream their favorite YouTube channels.) we never really got the tv to work in the master bedroom. I think the internet just wouldn’t reach. Seriously we had a really great time and loved every bit of the house. (Word of caution: walking the dog on the beach is a pain for my dog. He is a hound mutt and chases waves. So I rather walk him on the road. That beach road has no sidewalk. And the shoulder is very narrow. I did find a few “hiking” paths. But they were VERY buggy.)

First stay in Outerbanks
We had a wonderful stay at the Salty Dog! The proximity to the beach was great! Being next to John's was a plus! The hot tub was great, we enjoyed it nightly. The neighborhood felt safe and welcoming. The location was central and easy to navigate to shops, restaurants and grocery stores. The host was prompt with responses. We enjoyed the deck, where you were able to hear and see the ocean. We had a great time and recommend staying at the Salty Dog!

Great home, great time!
We had a wonderful time at this property. I thought it would be hard for my elderly dog going up and down the stairs every time she had to go out but with her harness I was able to get her up and down no problem. The harness helped too for across the street to get her up the hill to the beach for an evening run. My kids had a blast but I think my dog even enjoyed it more. The place was just as advertised and in a great location. We left very early on our last day and my aunt inadvertently forgot one of her bags. When we unpacked we realized it was her bag but Mike had already contacted my shortly after we left to let us know we had left it behind. She will be receiving it today and we are so grateful. We cooked most of our meals and were able to find any kitchen appliance or utensil we needed. We loved how close the Target was, gas stations, and John’s next door had live music some nights. We ventured out to Duck for one of our meals to Coastal Cravings which was so delicious. I think anyone would love staying here! Any question or problem was easily resolved by reaching out to Mike. We look forward to another trip and would love to stay in this house again.

Great unobstructed views and beach access!
Had an awesome beach week at the Salty Dog. The location is perfect. Tons of beach chairs, boogie boards and even spike ball are in the outdoor closet. Access to John’s next store for lunch and ice cream shakes was yummy and convenient. Wish they did breakfast!! The house could def use a bit of a refresh as some of the areas and pots and pans are a bit worn out but it didn’t affect our good times! Would stay again! And it’s pet friendly!!!!

We had a wonderful time in Kitty Hawk. The house was great and just as advertised. Mike was super helpful and easy to work with. The location is awesome for beach access, restaurants, night life, fun, etc. Being beside John’s was absolutely I problem and even a plus so we could grab lunch or a milkshake. Our dog enjoyed herself too! Just wear shoes on the beach on the hot days (and remember your dog’s feet will burn too!)!!

Nice place!
The Salty Dog is wonderfully located across the beach road, but unlike most such properties, there is no building in front of it, so you get a great ocean view! There were just two of us, so there was ample room. The place was clean and suitably decorated. We had everything we needed except a couple of kitchen items, and we made do without those. The porch is great! It's fun being next to John's Drive-In. I recommend the Dolphin Boat!

Great location
We had a group of ladies just wanting to relax and enjoy the beach. The house location was great being right across the street from the beach. Front porch and deck were nice to view the ocean and feel the breeze. The house fit our needs. Kitchen area could use some organization and more thorough cleaning. Overall the property was comfy and cozy. The bedrooms and bathrooms worked well. We all liked the outdoor shower. Laundry room was helpful for washing beach towels, etc. and storing beach chairs and floats. Did not use the hot tub as it was too hot. Would be great in any other season. Thank you for a enjoyable week!

The very center of OBX
Perfect center of a beachy vacation. The right combination of surf cabin and creature comforts. Ten seconds from the sand. Good air conditioning (quite refreshing in July sun). Breezes each morning and evening, perfect for the spa on the back deck. Surrounding decks large enough for cornhole and crab boils. Easy reach to sights of Wright Brothers, Hatteras and Duck/Corolla.
