Make your escape to Afterdune Delight, an oceanfront retreat in Salvo that the entire family will love - including the canine members! A path leads from the backyard directly to the beach for fun-filled days of swimming, surfing and fishing. Back at the house, three levels of decking provide sun, shade and plenty of outdoor space for enjoying the salty ocean breezes. Take a relaxing soak in the bubbly hot tub or climb up to the Ship's Watch for breathtaking sunrises and panoramic views of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Inside, a sunroom off the living area serves as an extension of the great room and offers a wall of east-facing windows for enjoying the ocean view. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams add to the coastal character of this unique space. The open-concept layout ensures sight lines and flow into the eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Sit down at the table for family meals or dine al fresco on the deck with picnic table. The stylish yet practical LVP flooring that runs throughout the home (including the bedrooms) is ideal for sandy feet and paws returning from the beach. Four of the five bedrooms are located on the top level, including a king suite with semi-private bath. Bed and bath linens are always included at no extra charge, and the beds will be made with fresh sheets and pillowcases prior to your arrival. Downstairs, the expansive mid-level rec room is all about indoor fun with family and friends. Between the pool table, ping pong and foosball, everyone in your group can flex their skills or discover a talent they never knew they had. For more laid-back entertainment, kick up your feet and watch a movie or the big game on the 55" TV with Surround Sound. The mid-level also includes another full bath and the fifth bedroom - a bunk room perfect for kids. A laundry/utility room is equipped with an additional full-size fridge for storing the catch of the day or extra groceries. Stock up on provisions at The Blue Whale grocery store, which is only a short walk from the house and carries everything from produce, deli items and craft beer to beach supplies, bait and tackle. Afterdune Delight is just 1 mile north of the popular Salvo Day Use Area, where you can experience the other side of the island. Situated on the Pamlico Sound and maintained by the National Park Service, this family-friendly soundside beach includes a picnic area and restroom facilities. It's the perfect place for launching kayaks, kiteboards and SUP's. For more adventure, take a short drive south to Cape Hatteras where you can climb the lighthouse, go driving on the beach, or hop on a ferry to Ocracoke. Pets allowed - dogs only. No smoking/vaping.
