Semi-Oceanfront Dog Friendly Home w/ Pool, Hot Tub, EV Charger, Game Room, More!
SEMI-OCEANFRONT Rodanthe - Hatteras Island Estates - With 8 bedrooms and 7½ baths, elevator, exercise room, game room, a gourmet kitchen and elegant furnishings, TIPSY TURTLE offers a grand Hatteras Island vacation.
Start your vacation off with a dip in the private swimming pool and relax poolside as the kids play in the poolside entertainment area with picnic table, gas grill, and lighted cooking area. Stroll into the ground level of the home to find an exercise room cardio equipment and TV to keep your workout routine going. Step up to the next level for the exciting game room, sure to entertain the group! Featuring pool table, large screen TV and a wet bar with full size refrigerator and microwave, this will be a favorite room in the home. This level is also home to 3 bedrooms; a king master bedroom with private bath, another king bedroom and a bedroom with 2 single beds and a pyramid bunk, both sharing the common bathroom. Stepping up to the next level you will find a den with comfortable seating and flat screen TV. Of the four bedrooms on this level, three are king master bedrooms, each with private baths. The fourth bedroom has 2 double beds and uses the hall bath. The final (and spacious) king master bedroom is found on the top level of the home, also with private master bath.
The great room impresses with beautiful ocean views, vaulted ceilings and luxurious décor. Relax in front of the large screen TV mounted atop the mantel or escape into the separate parlour with another big screen TV, large sectional and comfortable chairs. Preparing your meals is a breeze in the gourmet kitchen with high quality appliances including a large refrigerator, beverage center, two dishwashers, and two 4-burner cooktops. Two large islands provide prep space and extra seating. And once the meal is prepared, there is no better place to enjoy your meal than the dining area with an ocean view from every seat. Spacious decks off of each level of the home offer the perfect spot to unwind in the sun or shade as you listen to the sounds of the island. The top-level deck offers both ocean and sound views for relaxing sunset or sunrise reveries.
