About this property

Oceanview and Dog Friendly Home in Buxton w/ Private Pool, Hot Tub, Game Room

OCEANVIEW Buxton - Diamond Point Estates - Location is what HELLO WORLD is all about. Your kids will love the fact that the house is within view of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. You can see the famous light sweeping over the house at night. Just short walk from the ocean, the house has beach access near the Lighthouse jetties. Kids and adults will find more than enough to keep them entertained for a week's vacation or more. On the first level is a game room with pool table, a full bath, and two bedrooms. The swimming pool and hot tub are accessed from this level. On the second level are two bedrooms that share a hall bath, plus a master bedroom. The master and one other bedroom open onto a shared deck. On the third floor, the kitchen is spacious, with a breakfast bar for back-seat cooks. The large great room has all the space you need to spend treasured moments with family. The dining area is just off the kitchen. Stunning ocean views set the backdrop for the entire third floor. A screened porch with a picnic table and a furnished sundeck grace this level. From the third level is a set of stairs leading to a fourth level loft with dramatic views. The skytop deck above the screened porch offers panoramic ocean views.

We loved this house! We had 4 generations come together for a family vacation. Our adult children loved having pool to hangout with a short walk to the beach. We would definitely stay again!

Needs work and attention

The property is nice, but dated and needs attention. I sent pics of my grievances to the rental company, but did not get a response. Example: The cleaning of the lower floors was not optinmal and needed to be repeated. In the master bedroom, the toilet brush holder was completely busted up and the brush was downright cruddy and repulsive. The mattress protector was worn out as well. There were a pile of broken elements of a chair or table on the balcony. In the kitchen, one of the teflon pans was so worn it may well constitute a health hazard. It's a shame that a nice property like this is so neglected. A few dollars for updates would go a long way!

Ruth, please accept our sincere apology for the disappointment you experienced during your stay. We strive to beat expectations for all of our guests and sometimes, unfortunately, we fall short. We hope that you choose to return to Hatteras Island and that your family has a pleasant vacation experience

Fishing trip

We loved this house! Close to the beach, and nearby restaurants. The kids loved the pool and hot tub and deck offered great views for morning coffee. The rental process was easy and the Surf or Sound staff answered all our questions! Will definitely rent again.
