About this property

3 MIN WALK TO BEACH, Semi -Oceanfront, 5 BRs 5 1 /2 BA, Pool, Hot Tub

FANTASEA IS A SUNDAY TO SUNDAY RENTAL. VRBO SAYS WE ARE A 13 MINUTE WALK TO THE BEACH - NOT TRUE! FANTASEA IS 2 - 3 MINUTE WALK TO THE BEACH. Refresh yourself at FantaSea, perfect for large families, just one lot back from the oceanfront. FantaSea is an awesome 5-bedroom getaway the whole family can enjoy. Enter on the first level and chill out in the game room with shuffleboard, TV and full-size refrigerator. The game room also features a pull out sofa and pub table. The laundry area and a full bath are also on the first floor. Step out onto the shaded deck to enjoy lunch before stepping down into the pool and hot tub area for some fun in the sun. The second level has four bedrooms. A king master and queen master both have TVs and sliders onto the shaded deck on the ocean side of the house. Across the hall are two bedrooms, one with a queen bed and one with a pyramid bed, sharing a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Both have access to shaded decks as well. Upstairs is another king master suite with TV featuring a shower stall in the master bathroom. The spacious open living, dining, and kitchen area boasts beautiful ocean views and a gas fireplace to keep you cozy through those cool nights. Step out onto the sundeck to watch the sunrise or count the stars by night. When you’re ready to get some sand between your toes, the community path to the beach is right across the street. The beach is about a 2 minute walk away. The ground level patio area with picnic table and charcoal grill is a great place to grab lunch before heading back to the beach. The outdoor shower features hot and cold water. A fish cleaning table is located on the other side of the house. Restaurants and watersports activities are also within walking distance, so a good time is never far away. Make FantaSea your vacation choice! Pool available April through October. Heated pool available for additional fee of $400.

Friends a Family Beach Trip

We had such a beautiful week at the beach. The house was spacious and clean with close, easy access to the beach. We had 3 kiddos under three, so the baby gate at the top of the stairs was perfect! We would definitely stay here again!

FantaSea

The FantaSea cottage was awesome and better than the pictures. The cottage had been updated to include tile floors and exceptionally clean. It was extremely windy a few days so the pool and hot tub was a big hit.

Great place to stay

The house was exactly what we wanted. It was very clean and had plenty of room for everyone. Lots of bathrooms!! The pool and hot tub were great. We really liked that there was an extra fridge on the bottom floor and plenty of outdoor seating. When we stayed it rained quite a bit but the house was big enough we were all comfortable to stay inside and wait out the rain. Leading up to our trip any questions I had Kathy would answer right away. Overall we had a great stay and would visit the same area and rent the same house again!!

Relaxation at It’s Best

We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A real bonus is having the pool shaded starting about 2 and gradually covering the whole pool by late afternoon. After a day at the beach no one wanted anymore sun so it was perfect. A fridge in the basement was extra convenient. Grandchildren loved the shuffleboard game.

everything was groovy

The owner made check-in a breeze, and we were able to get in a little earlier than expected. The home has a wonderful layout and fit our group perfectly. It was very well equipped and the location was ideal for our group. The walk to the beach was short, although the dunes made it a little more challenging for the elders in the group, but that is not the fault of the home. The pool and the hot tub were ideal, as there were advisories about swimming in the ocean due to the off-shore hurricane (sewage in the water) and then rip currents and debris making swimming illegal. We went oo the beach to enjoy the sun, and then returned to the pool to cool off. It was the perfect balance. The hot tub was also very enjoyable in the cooler evenings. We would gladly return to this home in the future as it met all of our family's needs and wants. Highly recommend

Overall great vacation

The location was great. Conveniently located. We had a terrific time. The pool was excellent. Just a note the hot tub controls are worn out so hard to tell. We would only critic the cleanliness - the bedding was other than the sheets did not appear to be laundered, the pillows were very old and worn and there was a large build up of dust on fans (which appeared to months build up), cushions of furniture did not appear to have been vacuumed and underneath of them. We knew this because the kids dropped stuff underneath and in the couch. The amount of dust on the fans and vents was concerning given family allergies. Just a quick not during Idalia storm the doors and several windows leaked. Just wanted to give you a heads up in case you didn’t know about the leaking and the quality of the cleaning service you are using. Hope this is helpful feedback

Spectacular Week

Well supplied house!!! We've stayed at many houses over the years and this one had the best supplied kitchen. We were all thoroughly impressed!! Two fridges took the overflow which was nice to have. There was an outside shower and two hoses to use so we could enter the pool and hot tub sand free. (We tried anyway...some always hangs in your suits.) The pool was shaded in the afternoon which we loved after a day at the beach. The views were spectacular from the various decks. It was a plus having the RV park near as your view was tons better than having a bunch of houses. We loved seeing the families enjoying the beach and flying American flags. You'd think the beach would be crowded but it never was. Another huge plus was the private baths with the bedrooms. Two shared a bath which was no problem but it was nice for the older folks to not have the youngsters in with us. :) All in all the house was fantastic and so much so we booked it again for next year.

Comfort with a View

Spent a week at FantaSea. The location is great! You can watch the sunrise and sunset from the top deck! We had a group of 8 and the house was very spacious but cozy for all of us. The kitchen is equipped with everything you'll need and having a fridge on the lower floor was very helpful. We've stayed in Rodanthe/Waves before and really enjoy the low key vibe in that area. We rented bikes which makes it easy to get around town. The beach is just across the road and easy to get to. The OBX is a special place. We had a great time. We would definitely rent the house again.

Cousin Camp 2022

We had the most incredible time staying at FantaSea! It was perfect for our two families with children and being away from the chaos was refreshing. There was the perfect amount of space for the 5 year olds to play while the infant napped and the preteen had some alone time lol. The walk to the beach was short and simple which made carting all the things you need for an infant on the beach easy. The kitchen was by far the best stocked kitchen I’ve ever experienced making cooking for 8 a breeze. The outdoor spaces were awesome! Being able to eat under cover at the picnic table, enjoy the pool and hot tub and enjoying coffee on the many decks was exactly what we had hoped for. We can’t wait to book our cousin camp 2024 as FantaSea is THE PERFECT place to stay.

Perfect location

This was a wonderful house and location for our family vacation. Very close and easy to get to the beach. Wonderful views of the Ocean. The 1st night there we sat on the top deck and watched the lightning out over the ocean. Check in was great. It was very roomy and we all felt like we had our own space. It was great to have the gate across the top steps for the baby and not have to worry about her falling down the stairs. Very close to the fishing pier and Austin's seafood (great place to get clams and shimp). The only issues we had were the pool was not heated or didn't feel heated, even though we paid the extra fee for the heated pool. We had some issues with the top floor air conditioning working, but was ok with the fans on and doors open and the King bed in the top floor needed pillows piled in the center as not to both end up in the center of the bed as there was a big dip in the bed. Other than that, we had a wonderful time and would definitely book this house again.

Sunrise delight

Property is as perfect as advertised. Only 50 feet to the beach. Lovely pool and hot tub add to the perfect location. Aprils warm enough to swim before the busy season begins. Sit on the deck and watch the sunrise! So many nice town to explore and take walks. If you love nature and the ocean, it really is a Fantastic Sea vacation site.
