Oceanside Dog Friendly Home with Private Pool, Hot Tub, Tiki Bar, and Smart TVs
OCEANSIDE Waves — Wimble Shores North — When the stars align, a family vacation can leave an imprint of lasting memories. COUNTING STARS is the constellation you’ve been looking for, where warm and comfortable surroundings entice you to hit pause and chill until the sun sets in a spectacular show of color.
Everyone, including up to two welcome dogs who will enjoy the fenced in yard, can eagerly claim a favorite spot in this three-bedroom/two-bathroom home located on a spacious corner lot. The kids will love the private pool; the adults, the adjacent tiki bar or a six-person hot tub located on the deck a few steps above. Also on the ground level, an enclosed outdoor shower provides a convenient way to rinse off after a day in the sun.
On the first level you’ll discover two of the home’s bedrooms: a queen and a room with two bunk beds. There’s also a full bath on this level. The final bedroom, a king master, is located on the top level. All of the bedrooms feature Smart TVs. Another Smart TV claims a spot in the adjoining great room, a comfortably furnished space to gather the family for games, movie watching, or retelling the day’s stories. Whip up your favorite vacation meals in the well-equipped kitchen that can be shared around an ample eight-seat dining table. Finish the evening on the wide, furnished deck with a cool beverage, taking in the sound views, listening to the waves and, what else? Counting stars.
The home’s location in one of the most popular wind and kite surfing locations on Hatteras Island is ideal for those who enjoy the sports both personally and vicariously. Count your lucky stars, and book COUNTING STARS today.
