Oceanfront Dog Friendly w/ Saltwater Pool, Hot Tub, Sauna, Private Beach Access
OCEANFRONT Salvo — Colony Drive — Big vacation aspirations call for BIG WEDNESDAY, a five-bedroom/four-full- and one-half-bath home perched on a wide stretch of oceanfront beach where surfing conditions will stoke novices and pros alike. For those who prefer water without a wave, the large 14'x 20' ground level pool obliges, surrounded by chaise lounges to sink into with a good book or for a solid nap. A spacious sauna and a four-person hot tub, shaded by the deck, provides another means to relax with a soothing soak; an outdoor shower takes the heat off with a cool rinse off.
Sleep soundly in the home’s five spacious bedrooms, four of which are located on the first level. There are two queen master bedrooms with private updated baths and access to an oceanfront deck, the perfect place to capture each morning’s glorious sunrise. There is also a four-bed bunk room that shares a full bath with a room with two twins. A king master with full updated ensuite bath is located on the second level and a loft on the third level featuring a sleeper sofa can accommodate even more.
Your family will be drawn to the home’s second level, where soaring vaulted ceilings and plentiful windows pull in the magnificent oceanfront vista. The well-stocked kitchen, featuring stainless appliances, a wine fridge, plentiful cabinet space and an eat-at counter has everything you need to prep your family’s favorite foods that can be enjoyed by all at the long 12-seat dining table or at the picnic table in the screened-in porch. The living room offers lots of comfortable seating and a mounted large flat-screen TV when you are ready unwind for the evening. Let the sound of the waves lure you to the furnished wrap-around decks to marvel at the sky’s changing hues as the sun sets for the evening and the stars come out to play. It’s a big choice, we know, but you can’t go wrong by booking BIG WEDNESDAY.

We have spent many vacations in the Outer Banks. Working with Surf and Sound made the vacation easy. The house was exactly what we expected. It was clean and very comfortable. Thank you.

Wish we had a gas grill, a few pool toys, and at least a starter of TP for each bathroom!
Place was clean, had tons of games and books. Great location

There is a lot of stairs to climb, along with the climb over the dunes to the beach. But we had a great time the week we was there. We explored the OBX as much as we could. The house could use some more upgrades. Also some of the patio needs some attention too. It is an older home and I'm sure it has seen some storms.

Eight adults and one westie dog enjoyed our stay. We got out two days to explore from the end of Hatteras to Duck. We visited the Graveyard of the Atlantic museum, Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and Bodie lighthouse but were unable to do much at the lighthouses or do anything at all at the Wright brothers monument in Kitty Hawk due to the Government shutdown. Ate at two great restaurants. Waterman’s and Mirro’s. Also beautiful sunset on sound side at our stop at Dairy Queen for ice cream. Picture below.We had enough dishes to eat on and cook with but the silverware was lacking, especially spoons. Pool water was cool but there were a couple that braved it and enjoyed the hot tub. Living area was great and plenty of room for all to enjoy watching tv, putting together puzzles and reading or crafting which we did. Everyone talked about how they would love to come back here again.

What a wonderful recap of your stay, Melissa—it sounds like you and your group (even the Westie) made the most of your time at Big Wednesday - #1041! We're glad you found plenty of space to relax and enjoy time together, from puzzles and crafting to exploring the island. The beautiful shot of the sunset really highlights the beauty! Thanks for mentioning the note about silverware—we're always looking for ways to improve for our guests. It's great to hear everyone's talking about coming back, as we'd love to welcome you all again soon!
The house was clean and comfortable. It was by far the nicest house we’ve stayed in at the Outer Banks. It is modern and updated. The pool area was great on a day that the wind was too much at the beach. We love Waterman’s Restaurant which is very close. The kitchen has everything you need to cook a good seafood dinner. It was just my husband, myself and our dog but the house would be wonderful for an entire family and quests. We spent mornings on the top deck watching the sun come up. It never gets old. At night we sat outside looking at the moon and stars. We love the tri-villages area.

issue with hot tub
We were very disappointed when the hot tub was mysteriously turned off on day 6 of our stay. I texted, emailed, and called [twice] property management to report the issue, but NO ONE EVER RESPONDED and the hot tub was not turned back on during the remainder of our stay. The hot tub was one of the major draws for our group, as we went during spring when it's still chilly. The house is nice and clean. The large living room with good views and 2 large balconies are the best features. We didn't appreciate the separate $500 charge for towels and linens, but we go over it. The location is nice - a quiet area of the OBx. We stayed a week. One roll of paper towels, one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, 2 dishwasher pods, a small bottle of dish soap, no hand soap or laundry detergent were provided. It would have been nice to know this in advance.

Thank you for your compliments about Big Wednesday, Karen! We are glad to hear the good views, spacious living areas, and large balconies contributed to your enjoyment of the home. Please know the vast majority of vacation rental homes on Hatteras Island offer stays with or without a charge for linens to provide the most affordable rates for those who like to bring their own linens and towels. Modest starter essentials are also part of our tradition of frugal efficiency so valued by our long-time guests (the details of which are outlined on our website during the booking process). We are dismayed to hear that you encountered a mysterious malfunction of the hot tub during the later part of your stay. We are always eager to remedy any concern as soon as it is brought to our attention. Given the lack of response you’ve shared here, we appreciate the opportunity to investigate what might have gone awry with our systems that could have caused this unusual oversight on our part.
