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

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!

Perfect Beach Cottage in Prime Location

We had the most amazing stay at this beach cottage in Hatteras! The location is unbeatable—steps away from the beach, with gorgeous views and the soothing sounds of the ocean all day long. The cottage itself was charming, clean, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved the cozy decor, the spacious deck, and the fact that we could walk to nearby shops and restaurants.The hosts were incredibly accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect getaway. We’ll definitely be coming back to this slice of paradise in Hatteras—highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing beach vacation!

Cozy and Convenient

We really loved the cabana. It was open layout. Better than others we have stayed in. The bed slept great. We had everything needed. Location was convenient for us. The only thing that that could be better is higher temp on hot water in shower.

This was my third stay in the cabana and I hope to return many more times. It was the perfect location and size for my aunt and I. The cabana was generously stocked and we had everything we needed for our stay. We had a wonderful time and made lots of special memories.

Beautiful Beach

Loved the beachy decor of the Cabana! Small but functional with everything you need for your stay. Steps away from the ocean. A fun beach for beachcombing and watching the dolphins frolic. The host Terri was very informative and was quick to answer any questions. Lots to see in the area. The top deck gave awesome views of the ocean! We would definitely go again! Thank you Terri for sharing your piece of paradise!

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.
