The SHELTER on HATTERAS is the ultimate vacation cottage. Our Hatteras Island home has all of the comforts you'd expect, including panoramic views of the water. The Shelter is our second home, not a cookie-cutter rental. You will be within a short walk of your choice of restaurants, waterside shopping, three marinas, The Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum, and the most un-spoiled beach on the East Coast. You will be in the heart of Hatteras Village with all of its charm and adventure.

The home features WI-FI , Smart TV's in the living room and front bedroom. An awesome outdoor shower, fish cleaning table and grill where you can prepare your days catch. There is a huge two level deck for relaxing and enjoying the view. As an added bonus for your fur babies we have a totally fenced in yard for them to enjoy.

The SHELTER is about 100 yards from Teaches Lair Marina and Grill. You can book your fishing trip or just visit before 4pm to see the days catch. The typical catches are blue marlin, sailfish, dolphin, red drum, wahoo, kings and spanish, bluefish, tuna, and grouper.

The Outer Banks were the first part of the Atlantic to be visited by English settlers, principally Sir Walter Raleigh’s expedition in the 1580’s.Through centuries of isolation the people inhabiting the outer banks have developed a way of life all their own. Hatteras near its southern tip is within 12 miles of the Gulf Stream is known as “Game Fish Junction” because abundance of northern and southern species of fish. It is off Cape Hatteras that the Labrador Current collides with the warm tropical water of the Gulf Stream.

You can Google the address to see the great location. 58213 Woodall Way, Hatteras Village NC 27943. Ours is the first house on the left on Woodall Way, across the street from Teach's Lair Marina/Restaurant and the walk to the beach boardwalk only takes about 2 minutes.

COME ON DOWN,relax,fish and swim on North Carolina’s Outer Fringe at 'The SHELTER on HATTERAS' where you can get away from it all.

Great Escape

My family went to the Shellter for spring break this year. What a great escape. The beaches were vacant, full of shells, and our dogs had a blast in the ocean. What a great house and great location. We loved all the special touches and character of the house. We'll definitely stay again!!

Best stay ever!!

This place was perfect for us and our two dogs. It was clean. A fenced in yard for the dogs to play. The marina was across the street. After a long day of fishing it was just a short walk to the house. The host was quick to answer questions and made us feel welcomed. I will definitely get this place when we come back.

The location was great, only a few minutes from the beach access. Beautiful sunset views over the sound and star gazing from the upper level deck. We loved the outdoor shower are cute signs around the property. The fenced in back yard was an added bonus, but if you have tall dogs note that the fence is only about 3 feet tall around the back. A few things that could use improvement is that the owner notified us a few days prior to our stay that the dryer wasn’t working and the coffee table had broken recently. Both easy fixes that happen with rentals. Based on images we thought there was a gas grill, but once we got to the house we realized that there was a charcoal grill. The house is a little small when it comes to places to store clothes, especially in the room with twin beds. Maybe a few more places to hang clothes in that room would be nice. We enjoyed our stay!

Great place

House was very nice. Was stocked well with all cooking ware. The upper deck was really nice with a great view. Outdoor shower is nice, could use a little more coverage in my opinion. Great little neighborhood with close beach access. Several of the beach acces were damaged and closed while we were there.

This is the second year we have stayed here. We were here during the 4th of July holiday and it was great. Holiday parade. The house is just like it is described and not that far from the beach or sound. Great place.

We enjoyed our stay at the Shelter.

Wonderful weekend away

We stayed for a short weekend in April and had the absolute best time! House is exactly as described and had nearly everything we needed at hand! Beds were comfortable, plenty of space, and property owner was available for any questions immediately! We would love to stay again! Beach access was easy to find and we went for morning and after dinner strolls every day! At night the upper deck was perfect for popsicles and star gazing! Had a lovely time with my family, brought home shell treasures found on the beach and got lots of rest and relaxation! Highly recommend!
