"Welcome to our cottage by the sea! Relax and share time with family and friends on the beautiful Outer Banks. We know once you come, you will return time and again. We are sisters, JoEllen and Mary, and we own the home with our husbands, John and Mike. We have 5 boys between us. It is a home filled with love! Come visit!"
The very personally decorated and well-loved family cottage is located in Salvo, North Carolina which is on Hatteras Island about 30 miles South of Nags Head on Highway 12 just South of mile marker 42. One of the sisters, JoEllen, is an interior designer, so lots of extra touches not found in most rental properties....you'll love it.
The cottage is on the ocean side about a block from the beach. BEACH access is only a short 5 minute walk down to the end of the street, across the dunes, and There It Is! A very private and unpopulated beach most weeks. The sound is a ten minute walk West. You can enjoy sound access on a dock across the highway for special sound sunset watching! We bring a bottle of wine, and a camera!
Heaven's Edge holds six adults, or four adults and four children, comfortably. We have three bedrooms (queen, queen, and two sets of bunk beds) and two full bathrooms, one with a bathtub/shower combo the other shower only. All of the bedrooms have color cable TV with VCRs, clock radios, and the bunk room also has a Nintendo 64 game player and games. There is a radio warning system for storms. We have WIFI.
The family room has a 37" color, digital cable, HDTV, 1080 dpi, with a Sony Sound Bar providing surround-like sound, and CD/DVD/VHS player. The digital cable TV has all the music channels available for your enjoyment. There are many CDs and DVD/VHS movies available for your use, and books galore for beach reading. There is an indoor sunroom with a new in '08 ultra large pillow-filled banquette fondly named "The Pit". It is sooo perfect for lounging, reading or napping as the sun comes in and the breeze from the open windows gently wafts by.
The home has a washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave, stove/oven, and all major appliances which makes "cooking in" and keeping up with beach towels and laundry, a breeze! There is a boom box for use on the deck. There are blue glass,candle filled TIKI lights for your late night hot tub soaks. Look for them in the buffet in dining area.
PAMPER YOURSELF...As our guest you will be treated to a PERSONAL CONCIERGE!! Shore Details, our Property Services Manager, will assist you with all of your vacation planning. How about a CHEF to prepare a meal for you and your guests? Wouldn't it be nice to have your groceries stocked before you arrive(for a small fee)? As guests at Heaven's Edge you pay nothing for the concierge planning service. For actual services rendered there will be a reasonable charge. This is our way of saying Thank You for choosing Heaven's Edge! Ask us for more details in your email and we will send the contact info.
We also have a full service spa/gym on the Island now...SPA KORU in Avon...for a wonderful massage, work out, pedicure or manicure...ahhhhhh!
You will find a lovely little gift upon arrival to say thank you. And of course, the house is pre-stocked with trash bags, soaps, and dish detergent to get you started.
Outside of the cottage there is a very large sunny deck with comfy deck furniture that you will probably be spending most of your time enjoying. On the deck is a 4-6 person Hot Tub that is great to relax in after being on the beach all day. There is an outdoor shower that is perfect for using after coming off the beach with those sandy feet. You can rent any beach chairs, bikes, and baby paraphernalia just steps north of us on Highway 12.
Another popular family activity is to take the free Hatteras Inlet Ferry from Hatteras Village to explore the quaint fishing village on Ocracoke Island or climb the famous Cape Hatteras Lighthouse only a short drive away. Ocracoke was named the Nations #1 beach for 2007! From Heaven's Edge, you are only 45 minutes away from the free ferry to OCRACOKE! And watch for the new Nicolas Sparks book-to-movie "NIGHTS IN RODANTHE" which features our Hatteras tri-villages, and was filmed in a house in Rodanthe. (and also Richard Gere and Diane Lane)! Come and see what all the fuss is about! Watching it being filmed was a treat for locals. You can read the book at Heaven's Edge.
We feel you will be pleased with our Heaven's Edge, and will love our inviting cottage by the sea! We know you will take good care of it, and treat it like your own! Thank you for looking. Email using link with any questions, and date inquiries, we will respond promptly. Our prices are as listed below on this website. Enjoy! |
