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 sizable 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.

Strategies to get the best Hatteras rental home experience:

Find your perfect rental:

• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually open twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Hatteras area. Reserve your rental in Spring or Fall to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Property management companies sometimes offer special rates for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family.
• Property managers usually offer customers an option to obtain vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area travel guides which often include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a partnership between the management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers.

Use filters to search efficiently:

• Start by selecting trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Semi-Oceanfront Dog Friendly Home with Private Pool, Hot Tub, Game Room has 10 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is commonly accessible on booking pages. If they are not listed, email or call the property management company before reserving your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds.
• Traveling with pets? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Extra fees or charges may be applied to your invoice.
• Are you visiting for a single attraction or event? Use a map search to browse nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.

Advice for a wonderful stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the instructions to your smartphone.
• Hosts are there to help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Protect the rental owner (and your stuff!) by keeping the rental locked up when you are away, just like you would back home.
• Note any damages to the property at check in, and immediately contact the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are helpful if there is a dispute.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant vacationers bothering your peace. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and attractions you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• At departure, complete a final walk-through to make sure you didn't leave anything behind. Make sure to check bathrooms, dressers, and closets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the rental one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever you can. If the manager is not available, take video of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on excellent ratings to inspire future reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other vacationers will be thankful you shared your experience find their best vacation rental. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded reasonably to solve it.
