The screened back porch has a wet bar, ice maker and deck chairs for relaxing after a fun filled day to watch the sun set over the sound. There is an outside fish cleaning table with two sinks and running water. Top it off with a large outside charcoal picnic grill and you will call this your 'home away from home!' We vacation here ourselves, so it is maintained to the highest standards.

Known for it's prevailing southwest winds, Hatteras Island offers windsurfing and kiteboarding conditions like no other. The surf has incredible breaks for surfers of all abilities. If fishing is your fancy, it is available on multiple levels, including surf-fishing, pier-fishing, and offshore or inshore charters. If you like to drive on the beach, there are multiple entrance ramps available for your 4x4 vehicle.

Walking to the ocean or sound takes just minutes. Leave your car in the driveway and discover the fun filled activities just a short walk away. At the end of the street is a watersports shop, where kayaks, jet-skis, surfboards, kiteboards and paddle boards are all available for rent. Never tried any of these They offer lessons to all levels as well. There is a Dairy Queen directly at the end of our road where you can enjoy an ice cream sundae after a hearty dinner at several restaurants only minutes away.

Regardless of where you have vacationed in the past, 'Tranquility Cottage' will offer you and your family a peaceful and relaxing environment. We hope you will want to return year after year like many of our guests.

    Very nice house unfortunately the bed was not comfortable and the sofa was not comfortable either. Hard to relax inside. Nice location and very clean.

    We stayed for a week in June 2025. We had such a great time at Tom and family's place. He was very helpful, and you could tell they had put personal thought into the house decorations and details. The kitchen was very well stocked and was great for cooking meals. The house is a perfect location to the beach and shelling. It was clean, and very accurately described. It was perfect for a family getaway. Very short walk to the beach, and the beach isn't nearly as crowded as the ones in Nag's Head. I felt very safe, and my 15 and 12-year-old were comfortable enough to walk to the beach by themselves. Tom was very quick to respond, and very helpful. I highly recommend Tranquility Cottage and Tom and family. We just got home, and my kids are already asking to go back to the house for next year. Thank you so much for having us.

    Tranquility Cottage felt like a home away from home for myself, my wife, and our son. We love vacationing in the Outer Banks, particularly the Waves/Salvo/Rodanthe area. We appreciated the family atmosphere of the rental and the communication with Tom.

    This was my first time staying in Waves. The house was as presented on VRBO. It was clean and orderly, and had everything needed for our stay. We had no complaints at all. It was a short walk to the beach. Tom is an excellent host and took a great interest in making sure we had a good stay.
