Canalfront Home with Private Pool, Hot Tub, Private Boat Dock, Game Room
CANALFRONT Frisco — Freebooter Ct. — It’s easy to see yourself enjoying the vast variety of Cape Hatteras experiences when you stay at SUMMER SCHOOL, a four-bedroom/three full- and two-half bath home located between the Atlantic Ocean and Brigands' Bay.
Bring your boat, your kayak and your fishing gear, for this Pamlico Sound canal front location couldn’t be any more convenient to pursue your love of the water. That would include the home’s private pool, too, surrounded by a wide patio to idle in the sun’s warmth. After a dip in the pool, dip into the ground-level game room to catch a must-see game on the TV, a competitive game of pool or a cool drink from the wet bar with full-size refrigerator. A half-bath is on this level, too.
The home’s middle level features three bedrooms, all with TVs and access to a covered deck. A king master bedroom has an ensuite bath and a deck off the front of the house. A queen bedroom and a room with two sets of bunk beds share a full hallway bathroom and open to a deck facing the sound and pool. The fourth bedroom is a king master with TV and ensuite bath just off the open living space on the top floor. A cathedral ceiling and walls of windows create an airy and inviting space, where everyone can relax and enjoy the company — with coffee around the breakfast bar, whipping up meals in the well-equipped kitchen, savoring them around the six-seat dining table or getting caught up in a TV show in the living room.
Head out to the deck for a soak in the hot tub as summer breezes drift of the sound while you sip your favorite beverage, or simply sit back and watch the canal come alive. Be sure to bring your bikes and your walking shoes ... the neighborhood is a great one for meeting your vacation neighbors as you explore. Book your stay today because class is in session at SUMMER SCHOOL!

Thanks so much, Tammy! We're delighted to hear that Summer School - #1012 provided such a clean and comfortable impression—from the house itself to the pool and hot tub. Our team works hard to keep everything guest-ready, and it's always rewarding to hear that it shows. Hope to have you back for another stay soon!
We had an excellent time during our stay and Molly the contact from Surf or Sound was absolute phenomenal. The house, the pool, the hot tub was all amazing. Thanks for such a pleasant stay.

The house is absolutely beautiful! This is the first year we rented a house with pool and it was well worth it. Being able to canoe, paddle board, fishing, crabbing, swimming and finish off the night in the hot tub. We had some issues with internet going in and out but would correct itself. Very quiet neighborhood. Most relaxing vacation we have ever had!! Loved it

Great - house layout and bedrooms sizes and closet space, plenty of parking, nice sized kitchen for 6-8 people, dock, pool and hot tub
OK - junk drawer needs less junk, ice maker in both freezers made ice but didn’t stop so it backed up, pool table nice but no chalk and cue sticks are not good
Bad - screens had holes all over and back door screen started small and was 1/2 ripped off. Cleaning people left two screens on the deck and a ball of towels on top deck and didn’t come address issues. Gas grill wasn’t cleaned but we used charcoal anyway. Listing showed linens included and still does but they wouldn’t honor the listing
Overall - the place was great but management company got lazy this late in the season.
