Come on down right now and enjoy the Carolina Sunshine! With its great wraparound porches, the sun shines inside and out at this traditional Outer Banks home. The interior and exterior pay great attention to details, from the uniquely shaped pool to its tropical-themed bedrooms. It is located along a beautiful fish-filled freshwater pond on the sound side of Kinnakeet Shores. The water is easily accessible from the pool area by walking down the walkway to the dock. The landscaped ground level has a carport, a private pool, and a poolside wet bar. The under-house entry provides access to 3,700 square feet of carefully planned living space. You will enjoy the convenience of our all-floor elevator waiting to assist in moving you and your gear. Fire up one of the two propane grills and have a cookout. As you enter from the carport, you are in the recreation room with a wet bar, pool table, full-size refrigerator, and microwave. The crew's quarters with bunk beds and an adjoining bathroom make this area the perfect accommodation for the younger members of your party. The second floor is home to themed bedrooms that include Margaritaville, Pleasure Island, Key West, and Blue Lagoon. The perfect retreat after an exciting day at the beach. Each primary bedroom has a 43 smart TV. If you are not ready to sleep, enjoy the Paramount theater, featuring authentic theater seats, the latest DLP/HD 50' TV, and a 6.1 Theater Sound System. Check out the flashing marquee to see what's playing, or settle back and enjoy an old Elvis flick or over 100 other movies. Ride the elevator to our great room, kitchen, and the luxurious main bedroom suite Atlantis with its great Jacuzzi tub for soaking the night away. The great room will provide great family moments, dining, talking, and watching TV on the 4 King 65' curved smart TV or a good movie in surround sound. Get comfortable on the newly upgraded living room furniture. Relax with a chilled beverage, courtesy of the beer and wine cooler. If you like to escape the crowd, retreat to the upper deck to enjoy the ocean views and sound during the day or the stars in the evening. Any time, any season, Carolina Sunshine is the perfect vacation oasis.

Nice property but needs some maintenance. Has a problem with ants in the kitchen and a musty smell in the lower rooms.

Great for a blended family and friend vacation. The pool was fantastic and kept us in the sunshine, but out of some blustery winds on the beach. Suggestion: lighter kitchen table chairs, and a few more chairs on the decks.

The carolina sunshine was wonderful! We came in to a spotless house with a beautiful view, comfortable beds great kitchen. Every thing worked as it should. We had plenty of room for our 6 kids! The neighbors were very nice! I’ve been coming to the outer banks with my family for the last 6 years and this was my first time booking with hatteras realty and they are so easy to work with! 10/10 will absolutely book again!

This home had lots of space and lots of bedrooms and was only a 6 1/2 minute walk to the beach! The pool and hot tub or great! The men, drawback, or disappointment was the bare minimum of deck chairs, which seemed very old, cheap and flimsy. Otherwise, this house was great!

We really enjoyed our stay. The home was clean and had everything we needed. We spent most of our time out by the pool when the weather allowed. Looking forward to our next visit!

The home was very accommodating. Clean and well maintained with the exception of a few very minor details. I would rent this again for sure. Congrats to the owners and maintenance staff for a job well done.

The elevator is a huge asset for us. We drive onto the beach so closeness to the access ramps is important to our crew. The pool and hot tub are a plus.

Beautiful lake front property
We were very happy with this lovely house. The elevator was a blessing. We enjoyed using the hot tub very much too. The description of the fish filled lake i feel may be inaccurate, as we fished but never even got one bite but we had fun anyway. The collection of dvd's to watch is very impressive and the upstairs living room with surround sound meant we didn't even need to use the lovely theater room, which I could not get turned on right. I'm sure that was probably me. We aren't very tech savy! I would definitely rent this property again and also Hatteras Realty was a great company to deal with, very helpful and compassionate people!
