They say there's a difference between vacationing somewhere and staying somewhere. When you choose to stay somewhere you immerse yourself in the local culture and you learn what life would be like if you lived there year-round. We hope all who come to Hatteras Island get the chance to stay with us, to experience this beautiful island and all its proclivities. We want our reflections of life on Hatteras to serve as a starting point for you to plan your stay at one of our properties. Don't forget to check out all of the fun activities while you're here!

Have you ever been to the Native American Museum? Have you ever been to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, the nation's tallest? Have you ever been to a maritime forest? Do you know what a maritime forest is? Have you swam in the ocean? Felt the white Carolina sand between your toes?
