Most of Hatteras Island is National Seashore, including the beach of Hatteras by the Sea. This means that practically the entire island, it’s miles of beaches, dunes and marshes are protected by the National Park Service. All the ocean front properties in Hatteras by the Sea share the ocean side property lines with the National Seashore. In an unusual agreement with the National Park Service, the Hatteras by the Sea Homeowners Association is allowed to maintain and nurture the protective dune between the subdivision and the beach. For this reason, and the efforts of the association, the protective dune is probably the largest and healthiest on the lower island. This means protection from storms. It should be noted that property in Hatteras by the Sea has always fared well during storms.
ARCITECTURAL REVIEW AND MAINTENANCE OF STANDARDS
The association has well defined covenants and by laws. New construction or alterations must be reviewed by an Architectural Review Board as well as conform to rigid local building requirements. The Association is governed by officers and board members selected by the membership. As a private community, a property manager is retained to perform community landscape services, maintain common areas, and inspect for damage and security issues on a daily basis. The property manager also serves as emergency liasson and provides storm prep should the need arise. The association maintains a healthy bank account over and above expenditures and dues.
Hatteras by the Sea’s most obvious attribute is the spaciousness of the subdivision With ocean front lots an average of three hundred feet deep and many back lots close to an acre in size, it is bordered by an expansive beach in front and over 20 acres of designated nature preserves behind. Every home in the subdivision offers views of marsh and wetlands on one side and the ocean on the other.
Although most homes in the subdivision have their own pools, Hatteras by the Sea has a large private pool and clubhouse for members and guests. The pool area leads to an elevated boardwalk or nature trail that extends into the nature preserve. The Outer Banks teems with wildlife. In the short walk from the beach through the nature trail a typical summer day might display terns and gulls, ghost crabs, herons and pelicans , an occasional nutria in the ponds of the nature preserve, deer, coons, and birds of every feather migrating somewhere with Hatteras as a stopover.
