Let the kids do their thing downstairs while you cook on one of two grills (a 28" Blackstone flat-top grill + charcoal grill). Everyone will have fun stargazing or enjoying s'mores at the backyard fire pit at night. Ask what constellations can be seen there!

There are 3 bedrooms on the top level that share one bathroom. (The 4th bedroom is on the lower level with an ensuite bathroom.) Two additional full bathrooms are available just steps away from the third level with the 3 bedrooms. The primary room has a king bed and TV. The second guest room has a queen bed and Roku-ready TV. The third guest room has bunks that sleep four on twin beds, also with a Roku TV. The fourth guest room is on the lower level with a queen bed/ ensuite full bath for you to enjoy and includes an entertainment area – play board games, watch movies on the large TV or play foosball in the adjacent garage. This level is heated with 2 oscillating fans during the cold months. You will need to turn them on upon arrival if you are using this space. They are turned off when not in use for safety reasons.

Linens and towels with beds made are included except for top bunks, in which the sheets are provided. One bath, hand, and wash towel are provided for each guest. If you would like extras, you can purchase them from housekeeping directly. We provide beach chairs, beach wagons, umbrellas, and chairs for your five-minute walk to the wide beach, where you can experience surf fishing, playing in the sand, or relaxation. The laundry room with a washer/dryer is available for your use.

We provide starters of laundry pods, dish pods, coffee pods, paper towels, kitchen hand towel, dish cloth, dish liquid, soap, toilet paper, and trash bags to get you going.

We recommend picking up additional items such as extra paper products, special toiletries, more coffee, and any specific kitchen supplies you may require for the rest of your vacation. Due to sensitivities, we do not provide shampoo, conditioner or body wash.

We are well-equipped with all the beach gear you need for you to enjoy the beach or the sound at the Salvo Day area (a 5-8 minute drive). With its proximity to 4x4 beaches and surf fishing, attractions such as kiteboarding, surfing, kayaking, jet skiing, rock climbing, shopping, and deep-sea fishing, you’re sure to find something fun to do for your family. Enjoy a nice day trip to Ocracoke Island via a short ferry ride for deep-sea fishing, shopping, and great restaurants. You're close to all the action - walking distance to the beach, the sound, world-famous REAL Watersports at Waterman’s Bar and Grill, and access to the Tri-Villages sidewalk that bridges Rodanthe, Waves, and Salvo shops and restaurants.
