About this property
Soundside Home w/ Screen Porch, Beach Nearby, Cmty Pool and Tennis/Pickleball
SOUNDSIDE Avon – Tarpon Ln. – Catch yourself in a never-ending state of contentment when you stay at CATCHIN’ SOME RAYS, a cozy three-bedroom/two-full bath home that sits within easy walking distance of the Atlantic Ocean’s wide sandy beaches and Pamlico Sound’s raw natural beauty. Arrive at this freshly painted and newly furnished cottage and discover a place of pure relaxation and reconnection that your whole family will enjoy the moment you enter the front door. As you do, you’ll find yourself in the great room that features a great room with a 55-inch Smart TV and DVD player, a six-seat dining table and a kitchen with loads of cabinets, a new refrigerator and coffee bar. Brew up your favorite roast in the morning and make your way to a screened-in porch where you can settle into the new patio furniture to plan out your day, or maybe up to the crow’s nest for some morning sound views. After a day of exploring all of Hatteras Island’s special places, you will have no trouble drifting off to sleep each night in the home’s three bedrooms, all located on the first level. Off the great room, there is a queen bedroom and a room with two twin beds that share a jack-and-jill bath. The final bedroom is a spacious king room with access to an adjacent full hallway bath.
