OVERVIEW

Dog-friendly, idyllic beachfront house with private pool, hot tub, AC, & deck

New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests.

Have a whale of a good time on your next vacation at The Knotty Whale with water views from every window! This bright and beachy ocean-side home offers plenty of stylish comforts for the whole family, pets included! You'll have four bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, wraparound decks, and a private hot tub and pool, all just steps from the beach.

On the first floor, you'll find plenty of room to find your own private escape in one queen primary bedroom, a second queen bedroom, and a twin bunk with a trundle room. The queen and bunk bedrooms share a spacious full hallway bathroom. The kids will also love the open bonus area with an additional set of twin bunk beds. All four of these rooms open out to the first-floor deck, and all three bedrooms have TVs. The first floor is also home to the stacked washer/dryer in the hallway laundry closet and the hot tub on the beach-facing deck just outside the second queen bedroom.

But as much as you'll love the first floor, the main floor will have you hooked in no time. Wall-to-wall views of the sparkling blue waves are reflected in the fun and chic nautical style of the open living room, kitchen, and dining area. Here you can spread out but still spend plenty of time together with comfy couches around the living room fireplace, a dining table for six, and a neat island bar with seats for four. Make your way outside to the top deck for the perfect spots for dolphin watching or a cup of coffee at sunrise.

The main floor is also where you'll find a primary with a TV and a private deck. This spot is ideal for soaking up those Hatteras Island sunsets over the sound. Back on the sandy ground level, enjoy The Knotty Whale's refreshing private pool or an easy walk to the beach. An elevated outdoor shower makes rinsing off easy after a day in the sand and sea. This home is sure to be your family's new favorite vacation spot, so make a splash and book The Knotty Whale today!
