About this property

Oceanfront-Modern-Romantic Getaway

Oceanfront efficiency located on Hatteras Island in Hatteras Village. Steps away from the beach. Our full kitchen has granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances and is very well equipped. We have everything from martini glasses to a coffee press. Our full bath has a walk-in 48' shower with plenty of storage. The queen captains bed has a comfy pillow top mattress, for a great nights sleep. The queen sleeper sofa is great to just stretch out on and read a good book. We have 2 bar height chairs on our upper deck for star gazing and a dining table with 4 chairs on our lower deck. The front balcony is perfect to just kick back and sip some of your favorite adult beverage. There are plenty of community grills and a fish cleaning station, just in case you reel the big one in. Come spend your vacation at our cozy romantic cabana. Life is just better on the island!
Sincerely,
Terri & Kelly

We stayed in this location the previous year and loved it. It's a great area with a fairly quiet beach and a few great local spots to eat or get coffee. The kitchen has what you need, but we had decided to do so minimally this time around. The rooftop deck is a great place to sit in the evenings with a good view of the sunsets. We really enjoyed our second trip and would definitely book again. Check in is easy as is checking out. Highly recommend.

Great weekend getaway

This was the perfect little getaway for my husband and I - access to the beach, and minutes from Hatteras Marina where we went out for a fishing charter. While the square footage is small, we had just enough space to enjoy a long weekend close to all things wonderful on Hatteras Island. Host, check-in, and information provided was all clear and easily navigable. Thanks for a great stay!

We requested 6 days after reading minimum stay but we were forced to pay a night to keep the booking. I would not consider it a romantic getaway. There really was no privacy sitting outside the Cabana. We had very loud people staying on each side of us.

Beautiful, clean, perfect location

An absolutely adorable cabana right on the beach, what more can you ask for? It’s tiny, but a reasonable size for two people. The host was very communicative, and even let us check in a little bit early! The place was clean and Hatteras was nice, quiet, and relaxing. It was a very lovely stay.

Great 1Room Flat!

It was off season for our stay so there were not a lot of people around. Most of the stores and restaurants were closed for the season but we knew that going so it was okay. The flat was great! Small, quaint, and just right for a couples get away! We will most likely try to book this place next time we go to Hatteras

Adorable tiny cozy

Had a wonderful time. Need more hot water. All the stairs could be an issue for older people with arthritis or other issues. Very comfortable stay, just need maybe some kind of step stool for the bed.

Long-awaited honeymoon

My husband and I came for a four-night stay over Thanksgiving, to finally have some time away and a "honeymoon" over a year after our wedding :D This trip was just what we needed and wanted! The property was clean, pretty, conveniently located, and had almost everything you could need or want. We didn't think to bring towels with us...make sure you do that (personal and beach towels), and also bring paper towels and a few more blankets (this info is in the details they gave, but I completely missed it, that was my fault). Overall, amazing place. The kitchen was fully-stocked and we made some wonderful meals in it! The bed was comfy, the water pressure in the shower was good, and we were very happy with our choice. The weather was chilly and rainy most of the time we were there, so we didn't get to enjoy the roof deck as much as we would have liked, but the view was beautiful, night and day. Beach access was easy. The location itself is convenient to pretty much everything. The owner was kind and prompt in her responses to our questions. The guest book was full of wonderful little stories, snapshots of others who had come and stayed and enjoyed themselves to. Definitely coming back!

About the host

Hosted by Terri Haynie

Host profile image
My husband and I have been going to the Outer banks for many years. We tried the northern beaches but found them to be crowded and too much traffic. We wanted to have an affordable vacation but found that most of the homes were too big. Once we found Hatteras, and the cabanas that was it. We purchased our first cabana in 2001 'Haynies Hideaway', and have enjoyed many years of just hanging out on the island, fishing, beach combing, and relaxing. In 2012 we purchased 'Sea La Vie' because we found our other cabana was booked so much we didn't get a chance to come down and enjoy it. Our daughter was 6 years old when we purchased our first cabana and still LOVES coming down and enjoying close family time. (She's 27 now)We love the beach, and Hatteras has the most amazing sunsets!!!We want our guests to enjoy our little place and take home awesome memories of the little cabana on the beach. Our plan is to one day move to Hatteras and become 'islanders'. Gotta have a plan :)
Life is better on the island!!!

Why they chose this property

The meaning of 'Sea La Vie'
'La Vie' meaning 'Life' the name was inspired from our daughters love of the french language.
Romantic, and spiritual.
The HISTORY of 'Sea La Vie'
In 2003 Hurricane Isabel pounded our cabana community and after 3 long days of pounding seas, 29 cabanas where wiped completely out. Some where found by the water tower, several scattered around the town, some just washed out to sea. Out of the 40 cabanas 11 stood up to Isabel's pounding seas. 'Sea La Vie' was the last cabana standing in the outside row. It sat vacant, unkept and in desperate need of new owners for 10 years. After alot of negotiation we purchased and closed October 2012. For the next 5 months we completely replaced EVERYTHING from the outside in. 'Sea La Vie' is now ready for new guests, and new memories. We have tried to put everything possible that we love into 'Sea La Vie' and take pride in keeping our place clean and well equipped.

What makes this property unique

Our little slice of heaven....that's what we say about our cabana everytime we go. Whether it's sitting out front on our beach (our backyard)or just hanging out on the decks, it's fabulous! My husband loves to get up early, and I love to sleep in. He grabs a coffee and his fishing rod and goes fishing. Our place is so close to the Hatteras Lighthouse, fishing piers, Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum , and the Ocracoke ferry too. The village has many locally owned art galleries and restaurants. We love supporting the locals!
If you are looking for beautiful beaches, that are not crowded, world class off shore fishing, no outlet malls..you have found it! Take a day trip to Ocracoke Island, and check out the horses, and the lighthouse. So much to do, if you love nature at it's finest.
