About this property

3068 Carolina Sunshine *1 Min Walk to Beach *Pool

Beautiful Coastal Cottage With Modern Amenities
If you're ready to soak up the Carolina Sunshine for your next Outer Banks trip, you'll love this beautiful coastal cottage! This spacious home is a blend of modern amenities meets peaceful surroundings for the perfect vacation destination. Plus, you'll love the ocean views from the beach which is less than 120 yards (a 1-minute walk) away! There is plenty of parking space in the large driveway and a carport beneath the house. Swim a few laps in your 14'x32' private pool (w/ heat available for a $300 pool heat fee) and then relax in the gazebo covered hot tub. No need to go inside to rinse off or use the restroom—there is an outdoor bath area accessible from the pool deck. If you love a competition, set up a game of volleyball or horseshoes in the backyard. Inside, you'll love the game room which has its own flat-screen TV and bar area along with a pool table so you can keep the friendly competition rolling! A Queen bedroom and second Bedroom with 2 Pyramid Bunk Sets share a Jack-and-Jill style bathroom with separate vanity area. The Laundry room completes the ground-level.

The main entry with a covered porch and foyer is on the second level. Get a good night's rest in one of four master bedrooms each featuring a King Bed, TV, and attached full bathroom. Two of the bedrooms have access to a covered deck where you'll love soaking in the ocean breeze without being in the direct sunlight.

Upstairs, the heart of this home is the beautiful great room with vaulted ceilings and comfortable furnishings all centered around a flat-screen HDTV w/ Surround Sound System—perfect for watching your favorite movie or TV show when the weather keeps you inside. A separate wet bar provides space to make your favorite beach drink to sip on as you lounge outside under the sun on your oceanview deck. The kitchen comes fully stocked with all of the utensils and appliances you need to cook a seafood masterpiece and when it's time to eat, the dining area has room for 8 with a water view! There is a separate breakfast bar if you need additional seating and a small table with room for 4 that doubles as a great place for a quick game of cards. There is a convenient half bath also located on this level along with the final bedroom—a King Master with a TV and access to a private balcony. The Master Bath features a relaxing Whirlpool Tub and Separate Shower along with a dual vanity.

Close Proximity to Local Activities
Carolina Sunshine sits on a quiet cul-de-sac off of Hwy. 12 meaning you're just steps away from the ocean and minutes away from fun, local activities. For lunch, order a slice of your favorite pizza from Southern Shores Pizza and Deli (they will deliver to your Southern Shores home for free!). If you feel like venturing out for an upscale dinner, Steamers Restaurant and Coastal Provisions Oyster Bar are right down the road offering delectable dishes featuring locally-sourced seafood. For a day of shopping, head North a few miles to the Waterfront Shops in Duck where you can browse local boutiques and stroll along the Currituck Sound. Have a golf lover in your group? Sea Scape Golf Links is right down the road and is the perfect place to spend the afternoon. For an educational experience that is fun for the whole family, head South to Kill Devil Hills and stop by the Wright Brothers National Memorial where you'll learn about North Carolina's history of aviation. With so many fun activities to explore around town and dozens of ways to stay entertained in your home, one thing's for sure--you'll always have a blast when you book Carolina Sunshine!

Carolina Sunshine

The house was in a perfect location. It was Minutes from the beach with a pool and hot tub. The house layout was perfect for our group of 14. The beaches were not crowded even in the first week of august. There were two issues. We could not check into the house until 6pm and the house was in need of a good deep clean. We would go back to OBX but probably not to this house for those two reasons

Close to beach

The house was well equipped for large families with easy access to the beach, nice pool and hot tub, and a convenient fridge on the ground level. Please be aware that renters are responsible for making beds upon arrival which is better than having to bring linens. Rental company was very helpful with all issues. I would recommend this property based on the above comments.

Our Outer Banks trip

This house is much more dated than the photo gallery shows. We did not like the bedspreads at all. Old and dirty. The pillow shams should go away. None of the family had them on the beds. We bought protective pillow case liners. The fee of $350 to get the pool heat on is too much. Thank you
