Comfortable Coastal Home with Pool and Great Location – 25221 Sea Vista Drive, Waves

25221 Sea Vista Drive, Waves

This inviting 5-bedroom coastal retreat in Waves blends classic beach-house charm with modern comforts, a prime X flood zone location, and features today’s renters love. If you’ve been waiting for the right OBX investment property, this one deserves a serious look.

Morning Star is designed for easy beach living and strong rental appeal. It offers:

  • 5 bedrooms with a smart, guest-friendly layout
  • Located in the preferred “X” flood zone (typically no flood insurance required by lenders)
  • Private heated saltwater pool
  • Expansive decking for sunning and relaxing
  • Double outdoor showers and ample gear storage
  • Fish-cleaning station for anglers and seafood lovers

The home’s layout functions beautifully for friends, family, and rental guests alike. A dry entry leads to the laundry area and up to the main bedroom level, where you’ll find an ensuite bedroom, three additional bedrooms, and a hall bath. The covered porch on this level features a private hot tub, making it usable year-round and especially attractive for shoulder-season rentals.

Bright, Open Living Spaces Guests Remember

The top level was made for gathering. The great room is light and cheerful with:

  • Cathedral ceilings
  • Open concept layout
  • Gas fireplace for cozy off-season stays
  • Spacious, well-designed kitchen

Step out onto the screened porch—it quickly becomes everyone’s favorite hangout spot. This level also includes another bedroom, a full bath, and a versatile loft that can double as a kids’ space, office nook, or overflow sleeping area.

Prime Location, Endless Opportunities

Waves is one of the most sought-after communities in the Outer Banks, and Morning Star puts you right in the center of it all. Owners and guests enjoy:

  • Easy access to shopping and dining
  • The scenic multi-use path connecting the Tri-Villages
  • Community pool, tennis court, and boardwalk beach access
  • Close proximity to:
    • Salvo Day Use Area
    • Rodanthe Pier
    • Cape Hatteras National Seashore

This is the kind of place vacationers search for by name—and return to year after year.

Proven Rental Income & Investment Potential

For investors evaluating numbers as much as lifestyle, Morning Star delivers.
The property produced $43,030 in 2025, with opportunity for further optimization through updates, rate management, and expanded shoulder-season marketing.

Whether your goal is:

  • A high-performing short-term rental
  • A relaxing second home
  • Or the perfect balance of personal use and income

Morning Star is the kind of property investors wait for—comfortable, well-located, and already proven in the rental market.
