Lucky are the few who will get to stay in beautiful sound front, Second Star to the Right. This home has enticed visitors and neighbors for years with its perfect waterfront cul de sac location. It was, however, always an exclusive private home - a Neverland to renters - until now. The ground level has an outdoor shower, fish station, boat dock with seating, hammock, and a rare private boat ramp. Kayak, stand up surf, windsurf, or fish off your private dock. The large first living level opens into a panorama of windows that catch some of the island's best sunsets. Comfortable resort furniture offers the perfect perch to view the entertainment center with a large flatscreen TV/DVD and listen to the stereo. A large modern kitchen with a huge granite breakfast bar and stainless appliances will bring out the best in all recipes and their cooks. An extra-large waterfront dining area has postcard views. Second Star to the Right has a landing-field-size furnished sundeck. The first-floor bedroom has waterfront deck access, and the neighboring full bathroom boasts a large soaking tub and a premium shower stall.

The large second-level great room with tall ceilings has a wet bar, comfy resort furniture, Romeo sundeck, flatscreen TV/DVD, and an extraordinary view of the water, wetlands, and sunsets. Both upstairs bedrooms have water views. The kids won't take long to find the upstairs furnished loft area - accessible by a built-in ladder. A large hall bathroom with a tub and separate shower is convenient for all. Second Star to the Right also has a full laundry room on this level.

Lost boys, girls, and adults will find the vacation home they have always dreamed of at sound front Second Star to the Right.

Amazing house with paradise views
Perfectly central outer banks paradise with the best sunset view in NC. Access to the Pamlico sound with the dock, boat ramp, and 2 free kayaks was very cool. 10 minute walk to the beach, 30 minute drive to Ocracoke Ferry, can’t beat the location. We wished it was a little cleaner upon arrival but all-in-all our dreams were fulfilled.

Family get-away
The house was just perfect for us! Very clean & well laid out. The sunsets, sunrises & the full moon over the water while we were their was just beautiful. Fishing from the dock at the house was fun. We will be back!

Beautiful house on an awesome canal
The water right off the boat dock is great for swimming, kayaking, floating with rafts. We brought our boat and launched it right from the ramp on the property. The sound is peaceful and beautiful, with great views from the house. All the rooms are really big, including the kitchen which can accommodate lots of people helping prepare the meals. The neighborhood is really nice, and you can walk to one of our favorite restaurants (The Froggy Dog). We really had a wonderful stay and will be back.

Location was great since right on the water. Carpet, furniture and bathroom showers could use an upgrade. Both showers leaked.

Sound and Sunset Views
Loved a water view from every room. And rooms were spacious and bright. The sunsets could not have been prettier. The main bathroom was clean and modern.

Great location and space but needs updates
The home was very spacious for two small families and had a great view of the Sound. However, we did have a few issues. When we arrived at the home, it had not been cleaned, although Vacasa staff had told us it was ready. A cleaning crew was sent over once we called and complained. We also had to call an exterminator due to a bug infestation. Small tiny bugs, possibly mites, were found on the furniture and all over the dock. The deck, porch, and stairs need to be updated, as well. The wood is very old and worn. Kids and adults got splinters. Other than these issues it was a good house.

Thanksgiving
House was spacious with an amazing porch for sunset views. I communicated with Vacasa 2 different ways to let them know the upstairs shower door was broken, additionally, there was no coffee pot, despite one in the pics of the kitchen, also one of the pocket doors on the upstairs bedroom was broken and would not close. I never heard back from Vacasa on these issues. We bought a coffee pot and left it at the house. Also, very limited kitchen towels and no wine opener.

Beautiful Place to Visit
We visited outside of the "busy season". That said, the house is nice and clean - and having waterfront was awesome! We tried fishing and crabbing from the dock with very little luck (1-crab). If I went back during warmer weather, I would either take or rent a boat (to take advantage of the opportunities this property has to offer). It's close enough to everything that the drive is not bad. It's far enough away that you will never feel "overrun". Very nice...

Great location and views, needs upgrades
Second Star has a fantastic sunset view west over the Pamlico Sound, a private dock, a boat launch ramp, an outdoor shower, comfortable indoor furnishings and a huge, well-appointed kitchen. The neighbors are great. The location for watersports, such as windsurfing and kiteboarding, is good. However, there is no under-house parking and very little storage. The driveway is not level and difficult to navigate when backing in. The walkway along the water has some loose boards, so be careful. The front door is not sheltered and rain pours off the roof onto your head while you're standing there fiddling with the keys and the doorknob. Inside, there are two nice bathrooms. Neither of them is en suite, even in the master. Sliding pocket doors throughout the house are a little tricky to deal with. Overall, the house is a good value, but management needs to fix the loose boards immediately. Long-term, the owners should think about releveling the driveway and maybe removing some of the over-engineered foundation timbers to make room for under-house parking, storage and an entrance sheltered from the weather.

Dream House
We vacation here every year! Can't do justice to watching the awesome sun sets over the sound from the rear deck. This is the pre-show to the beautiful stars! House includes dock, boat slip, AND private boat ramp for anyone wishing to bring their own boat and fish the sound. Caught tons of fish and crabs from the dock. Inside everything was clean and extremely comfortable. There is no pool but swimming off the dock is aways fun.

Second star on the right
Overall the house was very good. It was clean and was in a great location. If you fish you can fish right off the back deck. The only bad is that the dishwasher stunk like stagnant water but we ran it and it cleared out ... will be checking into staying there again next year.
