SEMI-OCEANFRONT Hatteras — Lighthouse Rd. — Top Level Renovated for 2025! — When your extended family or forever friends gather at CAROLINA BLISS, you’ll discover an enviable escape that enthralls from each glorious sunrise and sunset to the next. With sweeping oceanside vistas, unobstructed backyard vistas from its perch on a calming duck pond, this 6,700 sq. ft., 10-bedroom/10-full and 2-half-bath home offers both a private enclave and a prime point to launch your Hatteras Island vacation.

Of course, languid beach days, fishing excursions and island explorations will be on the itinerary, but so should days spent by the ground level pool. Settle into a lounge with a good book or in the eight-person hot tub for a calming soak. Two gas grilles will certainly inspire some poolside picnics, complemented by refreshment from the adjacent tiki bar. Just inside, discover another wet bar/kitchenette in a recreation area that will delight all ages. There’s a billiards table and a shuffleboard table for the competitors among you and a media area with theater-style seating and a huge Intelligent Roku TV to stream your favorite movies. There’s also a laundry room and half-bath on this level. Completing the ground level are two master bedrooms with ensuite baths: a two-set pyramid bunk room and a room providing a queen and single.

Six more master bedrooms occupy the mid-level, all with private bathrooms and Intelligent Roku TVs including a two-set pyramid bunk room and five king bedrooms, one of which offers an accessible-friendly bathroom. All of the bedrooms have access to the deck for either pool or ocean vistas. A separate office area features a slider to a deck that accepts natural light to enhance a productive remote workstation.

On the third level — accessible by a convenient elevator — the great room’s high ceilings, wood floors and multiple windows infuse the space with a warm casual elegance and natural light. Plentiful and comfortable seating provides an inviting getaway to play games and entertain with a enormous flat screen TV. A roomy and well-appointed kitchen features granite counters and stainless-steel appliances, including dual fridges and two stoves to accommodate cooking for a crowd. Counter stools surround a breakfast bar, adding additional seating for full-family meals that can be appreciated together around two 10-seat dining tables. Two more cavernous master king bedrooms, each with deck access and spectacular ocean vistas, along with a half-bath, complete this level.

Just a few steps up is an upper loft that offers a peaceful getaway to read a book or take in the expansive vistas from the marshlands toward the sound.

Whether you're taking in the sweeping oceanside landscape or relaxing sound side, these are the vistas that will leave you in a state of bliss — CAROLINA BLISS — a feeling you can reserve forever by booking it today.

Booking your rental home up to 12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and reserve your rental property.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers frequently offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which usually costs between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed vacation time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.

• Visiting for a single attraction or event? If so, use a map search to find nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
