There are five thoughtfully designed bedrooms for calming and restoration – three of which are master bedrooms – all connected to an ensuite bathroom. Two of the master bedrooms are connected to a Jack and Jill bathroom that has a opulent stand-up shower with a bench, where you can stand beneath cascading water coming from a ceiling waterfall shower. All three of the master bedrooms have ceiling fans, blinds/black-out curtains, and new 32 inch LG 4K Intelligent TVs mounted on the walls for your enjoyment. The bunk bedroom and twin bedroom are ideal for kids to create lasting memories in, and both are located next to a full bathroom for convenience. Each room has its own character and benefits to appreciate.

There are four decks off the home - one with a cushioned outdoor lounge area which is ideal for relaxing or reading a book, two facing the sand dune and ocean off the back of the home, where you can relax in one of the many Adirondack chairs, while listening to the waves or watching the kids play in the private pool. The last deck is screened in with a six-person dining area and foosball table. The 6-person hot tub ideally located on the top deck to watch sail boats pass by in the distance during the day or star-gaze at nighttime, while hearing the waves crash against the coast. Pro-tip – turn off all the lights in the home to experience pure serenity from the hot tub under the moon and stars!

The private pool and hot tub are serviced regularly. We have also put a couple rafts, beach toys, body boards, beach chairs, pool noodles and crabbing nets in the beach toy bin under the home for your enjoyment. Turkish beach towels are also supplied in the linen closet for your use. The pool has the option of being heated to 88 degrees, to help make it even more delightful, the cost for having the pool heated is $70 per day. The pool is open from the last week in March and can be open as late as mid-November, if requested.

Follow the pathway off the back of the home to the boardwalk that leads up to a serene beach, which you and your family may have all to yourselves sometimes during the day or nighttime. Cape Hatteras National Seashore is known for its undeveloped pristine beaches which stretch for miles in either direction. There is plenty of space to sprawl out and enjoy a day at the beach. Keep an eye out for dolphins which occasionally visit. Rinse off in the outdoor shower under the home and enjoy a mid-day picnic at the sizable picnic table under the home.

In addition to the private pool and hot tub, the subdivision has tennis courts (available Memorial Day through Labor Day), and a lake with a wildlife viewing area where you can spot beautiful birds, turtles, and even a couple of otters.

Recently purchased (Fall of 2023) Graco High Chair and Pack and Play are both available at the home and complimentary to use.

There is no shortage of things to do and see in the Outer Banks - from kite surfing, body boarding, surfing, jet skiing, sailing, exploring close by wildlife refuges such as the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge and the many sand dunes, as well as fishing - either deep sea, or right off the shore - there is a fish cleaning station off the back of the home. Don’t miss the famed Cape Hatteras Lighthouse which is just a short drive from the home. Upon booking the home, we will send you our complete Welcome Guide so that you’ll have a local guide to places to eat, visit, take lessons, and rent equipment.
