About this property

Oceanfront Dog Friendly Home w/ Private Saltwater Pool, Hot Tub, and Tiki Bar

OCEANFRONT — Greenwood Place — Settle into the awe of nature’s presence nestled in a pristine dune-top perch at SEASHELLA. Outside, the seaside panorama is salve for the soul. Inside, warm Juniper wood and calming shades of blue are subtle reminders of the tamed wildness of Hatteras Island. Set back from the road, SEASHELLA offers two covered carports, two outdoor showers, a fish-cleaning table, and a private boardwalk that provides convenient dune-crossing access to the beach.

The first level is dedicated to dreams — the kind that come easily when you sleep in well-appointed comfort. One master bedroom features a king bed and a smart TV/DVD. Two additional rooms offer access to a screened-in porch: one with two bunk beds and another with a queen. Both have smart TVs/DVDs and share a full hallway bath. A second queen bedroom features a smart TV/DVD and private full bath.

The second level is superbly designed for family gatherings. Prep your fresh-catch-of-the-day in the custom-designed kitchen and enjoy it around the 10-seat dining table. Then, join in the great room to regale the day or stream a classic on the smart TV/DVD. The kitchen opens to a spacious deck and screened-in porch with sweeping ocean views and rolling ocean waves. Any time you choose, soak in the six-person hot tub and revel in the contentment of the bubbling warm water and the sea across the sand. The king master suite offers true respite with a luxurious full bath. Secure your private retreat to SEASHELLA today. Your memories await.

New for 2025: Enjoy new captain's chairs on the top deck. Fresh paint brightens the rooms on the first level.
New for 2024: Seashella will be dog friendly in 2024! Soak up the day's memories under the night sky in the new 6-person hot tub. The existing bunk room will be converted into a king master with an ensuite bath. The single bedroom will now feature two sets of bunk beds. The upstairs bathroom is being split into a full bath for the king master, and a half bath for the great room. New great room furniture.

House pool hot tub and location was nice but up and down stairs and stairway to beach was a bit much. Also would recommend providing some basics- decent sized dishwashing liquid a better sponge and coffee filters. Maybe a few trash bags and a few more rolls of toilet paper and paper towels. Maybe Tupperware. Beach towel included in linen service. New ping pong paddles and balls, some rugs for getting out of the shower and cushions for the chairs around the pool. Didn’t expect to have to rent beach chairs when renting a beach house. Get that it’s early in the season but think you could be a bit more generous with your renters.

Great location!

So pleased with the location and layout of this beach house. Super easy access to the beach and great walkable location! Really enjoyed the well stocked kitchen and ping pong and hot tub were big hits as well. Everyone in my family had such a great time! The check in and check out process was simple and excellent. All that being said, I would be remiss to not list the cons here as well as there were definitely a few maintenance things that need to be addressed that hopefully will be soon! There were two ripped screen doors (this was communicated to us on check in day and they indicated they would fix it but never did), and the gate that separates the downstairs pool area from the carport is broken and doesn’t latch - a huge issue with young children that should be fixed ASAP. One of the windows on the lower level also leaked heavily during a rainstorm. So just a few things. But overall we were all very pleased with the stay!

Nice house, far away from main attractions of Nags head. Just what we wanted. Restaurants near by

Very user friendly to rent. House didn't have but couple rolls of toilet paper and dish washer detergent ( for 10 people). I didn't think I had to bring all essential item to stay. We had a wonderful time too. Just feel some item could be kept in stock at the house for the money it cost to rent for a week.
