About this property

Constructed in 2019, "Double Dog Dare" is in a private harbor neighborhood with awesome views of the sound and harbor, providing stunning sunsets. And since the island is so narrow, you can see the beach from our balcony!

Double Dog Dare sleeps 11, with several levels of decks with views of both the sound and the ocean. Enjoy modern, comfortable and new furnishings. The first floor features a king bedroom suite that overlooks the sound. Another king bedroom shares a bath with a bunk room (twin over queen beds). A second living room with queen sleep sofa accommodates additional guests.

The top floor features an additional king bedroom suite, as well as a living room, dining room and gourmet kitchen. Spacious granite countertops, all new appliances, and pantry complete the fully-equipped kitchen. Enjoy sweeping views from the living room, or share a meal on the deck overlooking the sound.

Double Dog Dare includes access to all the amenities of Black Dog Harbor, including a boat ramp, boat slip, basketball hoop, kayaks and cornhole game. Enjoy fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding and boating from the harbor, dock and gazebo, and boat ramp. Explore the sound in a kayak (included for free). Linens and bath towels are always included.

Salvo is quite narrow, so while you'll be overlooking the sound, the beach is only a quarter mile away, a short walk or bike ride, or pack your car with chairs and a cooler and park near beach access or drive your SUV on the beach.

Perfection

This was our third summer at double dog dare and we will keep coming back. The house is gorgeous, well laid out, great kitchen, dining, living space for hanging out, private bedrooms and bathrooms. We love the view of the sound and use the kayaks and fishing pier every day. Hosts are super responsive and kind. This place is paradise!

Nice house & location

House was as advertised. Clean, easy to check in/out, close to the sound and beach. Kitchen had all the pots/pans and extra appliances you need for a short vacation: blender, crock pot, etc. easy to wander to the pier to go fishing or grab a kayak and catch the sunset.

Beautiful home and great vacation area

We really enjoyed our stay at this home. It’s like a model home but comfy and clean. We were in contact with the owners before and during our stay and they have been great to work with. My husband and I checked in and my parents joined us later in the week. The home is in a great location in a quiet culdesac. The home is well stocked with everything you need to cook and enjoy. There’s a gas grill and a charcoal grill. There’s plenty of room for a family to gather and have fun. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms just off each bedroom is a plus. There are closets for hanging up closets with really nice felt hangers. The beach is just across the street. It’s a little bit of a walk but it’s a great walk. There are restaurants and shops nearby too. We ate sandwiches from the Market Deli and they’re delicious and huge! You can share one and get plenty to eat. We ate at Waterman’s Grill and one note is to seat your family and then one person place your food order at the counter. Seating is limited there. We ended up with takeout. Our last night there we ate at Ketch55 and it was mediocre at best. There’s a Food Lion just down the road about 18 minutes and a Duck Donuts in the same shopping center in Avon NC. This was probably one of our best vacations since before Covid. Thanks to the owners for allowing us to spend time in their beautiful home. And thanks to their next door neighbor for puttering out the trash for us and helping out with things around the neighborhood.

About the host

Hosted by Aaron

In 2019 we were the first family that rented Double Dog Dare from LA Brickner, the land developer and property manager. Our family had such a great experience that we purchased the property from LA that season. We hope that you enjoy the property as much as we do.

Black Dog Harbor Services provides A1 housekeeping services and special touches to make your vacation experience memorable.

Why they chose this property

The harbor area is a rare gem on Hatteras Island. It has almost 10 acres of common area, including boat slips and boat ramp. In addition to the original model home, now called Harbormaster, the neighborhood includes four semi-sound front "dog houses", almost identical homes with a nautical feel.

"Double Dog Dare" is one of the newest homes -- located in Dare county, part of the inspiration for the name.

What makes this property unique

Nearly new home, with thoughtful furnishings and decor. The views from all rooms are remarkable, but the sunsets over the sound are unforgettable. Bring your boat or use the community kayaks. Rent paddle boards, jet skis, and bikes and enjoy the benefits of staying at Black Dog Harbor.

Located in the harbor is Chocolate Lab Charters
