Perfect get-away 3rd year in a row

We are so impressed with this property that it was our 3rd year staying here. It is just right for me and my husband and dog. Our favorite part was being able to step outside to the Sound and float around. We brought an inflatable SUP but there are kayaks available. While it’s not too big for us (like a lot of rentals on OBX), it still has ample space for multiple guests or families. The house is well laid out and well-equipped with everything you may need. The new hot tub is very nice. And the sunsets from the back decks are absolutely gorgeous.

Beautiful family getaway!

We enjoyed a truly fantastic week at Dawn’s family friendly property “The Sweet Spot.” My only gripe is that we didn’t have more time to stay! The location is spectacular with bay access (and a shallow sandy bottom that you can swim in with littles) and super close to walk/drive to national seashore beaches with no competition for parking. We enjoyed daily kayak rides with the kids or just sitting on the back porch overlooking the beautiful view. The house was very clean and well appointed in the kitchen. We hope to visit again very soon.

Sweet Spot

Great property with a great location. The house has an open layout that is perfect for a family vacation. The kitchen is well stocked, and the house is loaded with a number of little extras. The location by the sound with a private dock provided easy access to the sound for SUP and kayaking (kayaks provided) and great sunset views. Though not right next to the beach it was very easy to access via car, bike or walk. We have stayed here before and have loved it. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a very nice place for a family OBX vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Dawn Plunkett

This is our personal home and retreat. The house was built to lend itself to our hobbies and lifestyle. We are family oriented, child & adult friendly and love the water. There are beautiful water views from every room in the house.
We are an adventurous family and found this property on one of our Kite Boarding/family trips to the OBX. My husband literally found the lot from the water for it's sandy beach launch. The house is built with a lawn area at the beginning of our pier for easy set up and take down of all water and wind gear. This area is set up with a hose, fish cleaning station and an hot/cold water outdoor shower. The front yard is well suited for children to play, with a half basketball court, long driveway with a private culde-sac, sand box and beautiful old oak trees for shaded play areas. There are beautiful swings located at the sound side ground level, hot tub and eating area on the sound side main deck, large teak bench on the driveway side (for the person chilling out while watching the children) and large teak barstools on the sound side upper deck (located right outside of the "sunset bar" ping pong room).
The main Sound side hot tub is a must at sunset no matter what time of year you are there!

Why they chose this property

With wall to wall wood floors, water views, an open floor layout, gorgeous teak island and granite counter top kitchen, this house feels peaceful from the moment you walk in. There are 3 bedrooms; the master with a California king, the guest bedroom with a queen and the "bunk" room with 2 pyramid bunk beds (full size bottom & twin tops). The house is located on a private Culde-sac with only one other home, but is part of the South Beach development (across hwy 12) with full private beach access. It is a 5 minute walk but there are also parking spots and a boardwalk over the dunes to the beach. Ride your bike over in the morning to watch the sunrise and check on the surf. The Park service offers permits for 4WD beach access and bonfires. A quarter mile from the home is the Salvo day use area with 2 beaches and a great place for children to ride bikes or runners to complete an additional loop.
For water sports our sandy bottom launch allows for great family fun and easy access to premier flat shallow water.

What makes this property unique

This sound front home offers a sandy bottom entrance into the sound. Great for family play time, launching your kites, SUPs or Kayaks, fishing, setting crab traps...etc.

Amazing, uninterrupted view of Sunsets.

Beautiful bird watching over the front yard marsh.
