Oceanfront Dog Friendly with Deluxe Private Pool, Hot Tub, Cabana, and Game Room
OCEANFRONT Salvo - Colony Drive - Live the LIFE AQUATIC at this Hatteras Island beach getaway. Breathtaking beauty is seen through the great room windows that reach to the sky. Morning coffee has never tasted better than when seated at the café table in the oceanfront screened porch. And beach access is simple, just over the dune.
When you arrive for your vacation, unload the car and change into your swim suits for a refreshing dip in the private pool. A wet deck allows you to lounge in the water, or the kids to play, without going in deep. Spread out a buffet on the outdoor dining table or grill up some lunch on the charcoal grill. The poolside cabana bar has everything you need to relax including a TV, sink, fridge and bar counter with stools. An indulgent hot tub is nearby for when the sun goes down. An outdoor cabana half bath is conveniently located nearby as well.
Inside, find comfort in four well-appointed bedrooms. The top level king suite has private entry into the shared bathroom. Three bedrooms are located on the lower level and include a queen and a pyramid bedroom that share a full bath between them, and another king bedroom with private entry into the hall bathroom.
Meal prep is a breeze in the bright and spacious kitchen with modern appliances and breakfast bar. The dining table is nearby and seats the group with ocean views. After dinner, gather around the large screen TV in the great room for your favorite show or movie on the DVD player. It will be difficult not to be distracted by the blue ocean views, so the group might prefer sit on the deck to watch the colors of the sky change at sunset. Climb the spiral staircase to the loft game room with foosball table, another flat screen TV/DVD and a desk. With all that this home has to offer, life is good at LIFE AQUATIC! (Fireplace seen in pictures is not available for guest use.)

Overall we had a really great stay. There were some things that should be noted, such as the ac in the upstairs main living area could not keep up during the day, it would get up to 80+ every day up there. I couldn’t imagine if we stayed during more hot months. Also, the ac vents/filters looks like they haven’t been changed in who knows how long. Some light bulbs were out, batteries not in remotes. It looks like the house is a work in progress, which is fine, I think its priced correctly. It was super clean, the kitchen was well appointed. We really enjoyed the pool area, everything was brand new down there. We wish there was a better grill then the park like grill on the side of the house. The screened in porch was used a lot as well. The beach is a hilly walk through the dunes. Bike rentals near by, the street the house is on is really nice for bike rides. Larger grocery stores are a good 20/30 minute drive! We really enjoyed Alex’s for local seafood. Thanks for a nice week!

Hi Kelly! Thank you for your 5-star review it means a lot to us. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay at Life Aquatic and the local grocery store and the beach. I've noted your comments to our maintenance team. We hope to see you again next year!
From the time we pulled in, I smiled, until we were leaving to return home. The house is clearly filled with love from the family who owns it, you can tell they put a lot of effort into the property and hopefully get to utilize it as much as I would! The kitchen is well stocked, extra blankets and pillows, the patio/pool is beautiful, we had everything we needed!
My husband is a big fisherman (he caught 2 citation red drum from the surf at the house!), but he wasn't trilled carrying all his fishing stuff over the dunes... As long as you don't have a lot to haul to the beach, its a quick trip to the ocean.
The only complaint/ suggestion that I would have for the owners is the color of the master bedroom downstairs. I think a darker sage would suit the room better (and would match the new vanity!), when the sun comes up, the yellow is VERY bright and its the only room with no curtains. We actually moved to the queen room and slept much better for the rest of the week.
I hope to have first pick of the same time next year!!!
Thank you for sharing your home and God Bless! :)
With Love,
Kimberly

We had a great time inside and outside the house. The pool/hot tub were wonderful with the beach just a short walk over the dunes. Any issues we encountered the property manager was able to address. Would definitely recommend this house!
