SOUND FRONT / Kite-in/out Direct Beachfront Access Sunsets Best Kiteboard Spot
Spectacular private beach direct waterfront / beachfront luxury home on the Pamlico sound, New air conditioning mini split units and pier for 2026. There is a huge kite boarding set up area to launch your kites and watersports right from the backyard, With over 300 feet of private beach we easily have the largest private beach on the island. Recently restored this residence is simply amazing from its cathedral ceilings, sunken living room, carrara marble and for privacy this home is situated on 2 acres A custom built home unlike any other in the area and was designed to ensure that your family getaway is a success. This is a real sound front beachfront property the water is directly behind the house this is not a semi sound front or sound side property no long walks down never ending piers to get to the waterfront only to find out usually its just high grassy wetlands or marsh claiming to be beachfront as is the case with most sound front properties on the island. Waterfront views and watersports are unobstructed there is no new jug handle bridge behind this property like northern rodanthe mirlo beach / area and with a private beach there are no worries about crowded public kite spots or marshy shorelines With 20 foot floor to ceiling windows in the living area this home has some of best sound side viewing pleasure on the island.

Outside of the home is an expansive deck with plenty of comfortable furniture for all of your tanning and lounging needs. Waves, Rodanthe and Salvo are the villages closest to attractions in Manteo, Nags Head and Kill Devil Hills. This luxury resort home is located less than a mile from Real Watersports and Kitty Hawk Kite complex's as well as walking distance to shopping and several restaurants. 4wd beach access ramp only 2 miles away house is right on the bike /walk path of the tri villages Hatteras Island encapsulates some of the best things the Outer Banks has to offer: history, natural beauty, exciting watersports, and quaint shops that stock items found exclusively in this region. Known for great fishing and clean beaches, Hatteras consistently attracts vacationers who are looking for a laid-back atmosphere by the water. Places to explore on Hatteras Island include the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge, the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, Canadian Hole (famous among kite surfers), the towns of Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo, Avon, Buxton, Frisco and the extremely popular Hatteras Village.
Cape Hatteras National Seashore
The Cape Hatteras National Seashore is natural splendor at its best. As part of the National Park Service, this area that extends from Nags Head to Ocracoke Island boasts sparkling beaches, gorgeous sunsets, and lush maritime forests. At night, the pitch-black skies contrast the bright stars for some of the best star-gazing on the East Coast. Here, a plethora of activities can be explored: swimming, hiking, kayaking, fishing, boating and more. Drive your 4-wheel-drive vehicle onto the beach to easily access the water, or enlist the services of a local horseback riding company for an exhilarating tour of the area. It’s recommended that some time is spent in this gem of a park to appreciate all that it has to offer.
Fish Along 50 Miles of Shoreline
Fishermen are drawn to Hatteras Island mainly because the Gulf Stream is only a short 15-mile boat ride off shore. The waters of this natural phenomenon are home to many species of fish that anglers love to catch. Few places have fishing as great as that which can be found off of these local shores. Hatteras is renowned as a destination for fishermen of any ability from across the nation. And though surf-fishing or pier fishing can be a rewarding experience on the island, most prefer to try fishing off-shore via a private charter boat rental or by booking a spot on a fishing boat. Plus, if you are staying in a vacation home, you’ll probably have an adequately stocked kitchen to prepare your catch for the family dinner. Good luck hooking your catch!
Cape Hatteras Lighthouse
Rising up 210 feet in the air with swirling black and white stripes and topped with a glorious Fresnel lens is the iconic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. Completed in 1870, this structure is the tallest brick lighthouse in the United States and one of the most famous in the world. The light emitted from this beacon extends 20 miles out to sea—giving a warning to all mariners of the perilous Diamond Shoals that lurk just off the coast of Hatteras Island. Interestingly, almost 20 years ago, it too needed to be protected. In 1999, the lighthouse and its adjoining structures made headlines when they were successfully relocated nearly 3,000 feet inland to safeguard them from the encroaching sea. Visitors can still climb the lighthouse most months of the year, but keep in mind that children must be more than 42 inches tall.
Off Road Vehicle Use on Cape Hatteras
Many off-road vehicles (ORVs) may drive on the beaches of Cape Hatteras National Seashore, but only on specific routes established by the National Park Service (NPS). ORVs must be registered, licensed, insured, have no more than two axles, and carry a low-pressure tire gauge, shovel, jack and jack support board. Each ORV must purchase either a 10-day permit or an annual permit to drive on the NPS beach routes. Permits may be bought online at www.recreation.gov by searching for Cape Hatteras Off-Road Vehicle or in person at select visitor centers in Nags Head, Buxton, and Ocracoke. 4WD vehicles are recommended for beach driving, and tire pressure should be lowered to 20psi. Only specific vehicles are allowed on the beach (no motorcycles, campers, or ATVs) so please check restrictions before purchasing your permit.

Just what we were looking for- lots of outdoor fun in a safe environment. Probably the best access to the sound we’ve had in the 30 years we’ve been coming to OBX.
Our family truly enjoyed staying here, everything was clean and fresh, the kitchen cookware was top notch, the house had essentially everything we could have needed and the owner was very quick to respond and send out a technician on the weekend to assist us with the HVAC!
This was truly a five-star experience that we hope to repeat in the future!!
House was exactly as pictured. Lots of room. The kitchen is supplied with everything you need. The spacious back porch is where a lot of time was spent watching the kite boarders as well as the sunsets. The area is amazing. Would definitely come here again.
It was very relaxing to sit on the back deck to watch the sunrise and the sunset over the sound. I do wish the description of the private beach area was a little clearer as its not really a private beach as its big rocks and boulders lining the water. Overall, it was a nice stay.
Beautiful Place, super views(s), sunsets,. Large Balcony.
The house can sleep 8-10 people easily however misses chair(only 6) for the dinning area, can be managed with outside chairs at the limit. The CHARCOAL BBQ is at the limit(but mangeable) if more than 6 people.
OVERALL EXPERIENCE SUPER, For ALL the guests during our time there !
Pleanty of room and space for kids to roam and play. Great sunsets and moonrises. Fishing in the sound is not bad either. Somewhat secluded too (even though you're in town). We were there Sept in the offseason, but pizza was right down the street for a cheaper meal, or Neptunes for a little more exotic dish w/ cocktails.
Property manager was quick to address issues and questions. We had a great time.
Extraordinary house. We all loved how spacious and comfortable this place was. Every single room had a water view! What a treat. The host was so very helpful and super responsive with communicating. It was immaculate and DEFINITELY met our needs for gathering and relaxing. We will come back in the summer! You can launch kayaks, kites, etc., into the water right from the backyard! It has great outdoor space. We really had quality family time. The set up of the indoor open space was absolutely perfect for us! The house was as advertised and beautiful. I am saying our best vacation ever, can't wait to return. Fantastic memories made. Thank you for opening up your home!
We had a wonderful time at this property. It's so pretty, you don't want to ever leave to go out sightseeing. We stayed on the back porch for 3 days looking at the kite surfers and the gorgeous sunsets. It's in a perfect location and we ventured to Corolla to see the wild horses one day and then went to Ocracoke the next day via ferry. We made wonderful memories and after staying on the "sound" side I don't know if we will ever go back to the ocean side. It's just so peaceful and relaxing. We did have a small issue on the day we checked in with the internet not working but the owner stayed in constant contact with us until it was operational again. He even checked in on us midweek telling us about the riptides. Very nice!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was immaculate and in a beautiful location. The views are incredible over the water and beach access is convenient and nearby. The sunsets were absolutely gorgeous! The deck was the perfect place for morning coffee, relaxing, reading a good book, and for the many beautiful, family photos taken at sunset. I highly recommend a stay here! This is a beautiful home right on the sound! It’s clean and spacious with great views, a short walk to the beach, great place for kiteboarders and kayakers, (launch from the back yard). The kiteboarders were in full force each day and fun to watch. It was the perfect place just to relax and enjoy the views! Plenty of restaurants and stores to shop within walking distance. You will not be disappointed! This home is beautiful just as advertised! The entire rear of the home has the most spectacular water views from every room. The great room is an excellent place to gather with family and friends, and has plenty of space to enjoy and be comfortable. The kitchen has all the amenities needed to prepare meals for our large family. There was also an outside grill in the back yard. We loved the home and will be going back next year. Stavros is an amazing host! He helped us with local recommendations and made sure we had a great time. Will definitely return!
This home is nestled somewhere between Rodanthe and Waves and has some of the best views and real water access to Pamlico Sound, as advertised.
The house was spacious enough for myself and 6 "kids" aged 16-21. We brought SUP and kayak and a giant float that we anchored quite easy. Active!
We stayed during the beginning of the island's offseason so some places were closed. However, there was plenty of everything you need at Waves Market or North Beach Groceries. Everyone is chill and relaxed. No one is in a hurry on island time.
When Austin's Seafood opened mid-week we finally had the perfect seafood boil right at home. I brought everything, except the seafood, from home, but Austin's will sell you the complete package with potatoes and corn and spices if you need them. Donuts and Pizza from the Dough Shack was really close and equally delicious. Good winds restaurant was close and good, but I really can't wait to get back to the friendly staff and spicy tuna bites at Neptune's, which we discovered on our last night.
The location is perfect for exploring other parts of the island. We went to the beach in Rodanthe almost daily. We made the short drive to Pea Island to explore the wildlife preserve and found a secluded gem of a beach hidden by a dune near the bridge to Rodanthe. The daytrip to Nags Head was somewhat disappointing since the riptides kept us from swimming but we did some shopping and ate at Bros., which is really good.
It was great! We will return! South 12!
What made the stay great was the excellent location of the house and the timely communication with the property owner. Really enjoyed the house. Would definitely try to return soon
Great property with grand views of the inner ocean. Rocky beach.
Great property with grand views of the inner ocean. Rocky beach. Really enjoyed our stay...
A gas grill would have been nice.. may be a jacuzzi as cherry on top.
We had a great stay. Only two things could be improved. 1) Bed mattresses could be better. 2) Since we love cooking, kitchen equipment could be updated and improved. Great stay!
We completely enjoyed our stay. The house was beautiful and fully stocked with all amenities we needed. Contact with the owner was excellent, he responded to questions quickly! A very nice addition would be an outside table for the deck.
Beautiful sunsets every evening. Enjoyed watching the kiters. Great dining of seafood on the area. Owner was very responsive and helpful as this was our very first VRBO experience. We would definitely return.
We had a great vacation with our two boys, aged 8 & 6. We loved the big house! It was very clean. The kitchen was great and had everything we needed for cooking meals. Communication was great! The view was fantastic! Amazing sunsets! It was a little too rocky to access the water. The boys love to swim so they did a couple times while we were there but we preferred driving to beach or sound-side at another location that wasn’t rocky. Other than needing better access to get in the water, this house was perfect!! Will book again!!
Everyone in our family had an excellent relaxing experience. There was plenty of room for the 5 adults and 3 children. Shops, eateries, and water sport rentals within walking distance. Great communication with owner, we appreciated clear descriptions/ instructions.
We set up corn hole boards and played many games Wind was up to 30 miles an hour for 4 of the days. It actually was still fun as we learned To manage the aerodynamics of bean bags!
Place was in a great location. Very spacious.
Would go back
The house was clean and the views out to the sound were spectacular. The huge windows and n the sound side made you feel like you are one with the outdoors, even when you are indoors. Host was very responsive and helpful. Beds were very comfortable. The tv viewing area is a nice set up for the whole group to enjoy. Perhaps our favorite was watching all the kite boarders who rent from two locations very near by. S much fun to watch. We have long been oceanfront fans, but the sound really won us over with this house.
This sound front property in Rodanthe, OBX is really tremendous! I would highly recommend it for a large group. For us it was 5 adults, and we had a lot of room, I can imagine 12 folks wound do great. The sound is beautiful, swam every day in the less than waste high water. Ocean was a 10 min bike ride away. So many rental places very close for bikes, kayaks and kite surfing. The house had everything in the kitchen that you would need. Lots of small stores around for shopping. Did not go fishing but I saw 2 charter guys running boats. Golf is about 1 hr away up in kitty hawk. Arcade is a 5 min walk for the kids. Ice cream at all the stores. Sunsets are perfect look at photo. Overall a great time
