About this property

Luxury Waterfront Home with Gourmet Chef’s Kitchen & Relaxing Sunsets

Outer Banks living at it's best! Our home - right on the water - offers fishing, sunsets, birdwatching, water activities, and crabbing from the dock. We take amenities very seriously, so you'll enjoy a top of the line, well-stocked gourmet kitchen, luxurious bedding, showers with strong water pressure, beach equipment, fishing equipment, picnic supplies, and various decks from which you can relax and take in the beautiful surroundings. You are our honored guest and you will feel like it.

Our home has been fully renovated and is lovely to behold. The renovation included a new kitchen, new flooring throughout, enhanced outdoor living spaces, new furniture, new outdoor stairs and deck railing. Our philosophy is that if there's something we would need when staying there, our guests will need it too. So, you will find a kitchen completely stocked for cooking, baking, and grilling (with appliances, such as, a double oven convection range, a microwave, a crockpot, griddle, hand mixer, popcorn maker, rice maker, Keurig, coffee maker, electric tea kettle, etc.). Plus, access a variety of games, a sewing kit, a first aid kit, iron and ironing board, dressing mirrors in every bedroom and bathroom, luggage racks, a chair in each bedroom, and many other amenities.

The house sits on the main canal off the Albemarle Sound with a dock for fishing or boat tie-up. If you are a fishing fan (like us!), check out the fish table/cleaning station! Boat dock has electricity, water, lighting, and a fish cleaning table. We provide fishing rods and a simple tackle box. The house also offers an enclosed outdoor shower, which is an experience unto itself and reason enough to stay at our lovely house! We also have an outdoor entertainment area underneath the house, excellent for Crab Feasts and other group activities. One of the main highlights is the view! Take in the scenery either from the decks and from many of the expansive windows inside.

We lovingly call our house, Sounds Groovy OBX! For over 30 years, this was the home to the coolest, most loving grandparents ever! They were wonderful free spirits! Sounds Groovy is a tribute to them and an acknowledgement of all the beauty and kindness they shared while they were with us. They enjoyed fishing, beaching, and love and laughter. We are confident you'll experience that and much more when you visit Sounds Groovy!

ACCESS TO EVERYTHING – OUR HOUSE IS YOUR HOUSE:

Complete and uninterrupted access to all areas of entire home (excluding owner's closet).

Access to the storage room (key to the right of the front door) with beach supplies and fishing gear.

Community pool, $6 fee per person per day, charged by the Homeowner's Association.

Community boat ramp, key required.

Your enjoyment in our home is our PRIMARY concern. You will be able to contact us with any concerns you may have and we anticipate addressing them quickly.

Don’t be shy to contact us if you have any questions about the home or local area. We love to help our guests.

We have family in the community, so if you have any issues during your stay, we will have somebody there to assist you.

Great location, quick communication, comfortable home!
This property is one of the best we've enjoyed over the years! The owners have thought of everything to make their guests comfortable and knowledgeable about the property. All of the drawers in the kichen are labeled so that one can find what is needed, but also to be able to return it to its proper place. The TV is huge, and streaming worked great. Alexa is there to play music when desired. The living area is very comfortable with plenty of seating for a family who is working a puzzle, playing a board game, watching TV, or working remotely. The location is excellent! Beautiful views from the numerous decks, and very close to Jockeys Ridge, Wright Brothers, many restaurants and stores. The beds are soft...not good for a finicky back. Communication with owner was quick. We knew the location and how to get into the house without having to ask! We really enjoyed our time at Sounds Groovy!

One major issue
This is a difficult review to write. We've stayed in dozens of Vrbo's and have never left a three star review. Overall, this is a wonderful rental. Convenient location, safe neighborhood and watching the boats on the canal was nice. Pictures are accurate, very clean, comfortable indoor and outdoor furniture, massive TV and the kitchen is great. However, as advertised, we rented a property with a king size bed. That is our #1 priority filter on Vrbo. The king bed was broken and the owners knew about it for weeks. Needless to say, the first night was uncomfortable (the frame is bent making the head lower on one side). They never mentioned it until we did. From the owners perspective, they want to repair and keep the bed. We get it! From our perspective, we wanted a king size bed and didn't get it!! Even after acknowledging the problem there was no apology or resolution. Sleeping in separate bedrooms for 13 nights was not what we expected!

Groovy OBX
This is a quaint home in a neighborhood that is under construction. Overall nice place to stay. Master bedroom frame needs to replaced- head lower than the foot. Very nice to have beach umbrellas provided. All instructions and signs were helpful. Cable package for tvs should be provided- for local news.

Great Stay
We only had two nights and chose this location for our first visit to Outer Banks. We were very happy with our choice. With limited time, we even managed to catch a few crab right from the dock to add to our seafood feast for dinner one night. That was a fun experience we can now add to our list of new things we’ve tried. We also enjoyed having the beach chairs and towels available for our day at the ocean too. Definitely a well stocked and appointed home. Wished we had more time to stay but very thankful to have been able to enjoy our brief time there. We hope our first visit won’t be our last!

This was the absolute best place we have ever stayed in OBX! Mark & Michele were so friendly, easy to communicate with, and gave clear and easy check-in/check-out instructions.

Wedding Trip
My husband and I rented this home as a getaway from the madness at a separate location hosting my son's wedding. The home is exactly as advertised—very clean with a well-stocked kitchen. We enjoyed spending post-wedding time with family on the shaded ground-level patio equipped with a functional patio bathroom that worked perfectly for my disabled mother-in-law to visit for an afternoon. The hosts were great to work with and we appreciate their sharing their home with us for such a special week.

The Perfect Place
We felt at home immediately. Here are facts everyone wants to know. Spotless, well stocked with many extras, comfy furniture, great water pressure, modern and updated, high quality linens, huge television for movie nights, lovely décor, quiet neighborhood, a third full bath at ground level, and located near anything you could want or need. We enjoyed the beautiful views from every level of the house, especially at sunset. The hosts take pride in their home, and it shows. We are grateful for the option of a short stay, and this will allow us to be a repeat renter.

The house was exactly as described. It was very clean and has just about anything you could possibly need. The owners were so nice and super quick to respond to emails. It is located in a central location - not far from restaurants, attractions, and the beach. We couldn't have asked for a nicer vacation rental and hope to stay again on our next visit to OBX!

About the host

Hosted by Michele Masters

Host profile image
Our home originally belonged to Mark's parents, Becky and Dave, who lived in the Outer Banks for over 30 years. Prior to living there full-time , the family frequently visited and, truly loved, all that the Outer Banks has to offer. Mark’s brother and his wife are Nags Head residents today.

We love sharing our home with our guests. Knowing our home is hosting others, as they enjoy a vacation on the Outer Banks, is almost as good as being there! We enjoy helping guests experience the area as a local might.

Our family including, Maria, Gina and Luke, look forward to continuing the family tradition of calling the Outer Banks our second home!

Why they chose this property

The home was built in 1984. It was purchased from the builder by Becky and Dave Masters. Upon their deaths in 2017, Becky and Dave's sons, David and Mark inherited the home. Michele, Mark's wife, purchased David's half in 2018. The home is now owned by Mark and Michele Masters. In time, Mark and Michele's three children, Maria, Gina and Luke will take ownership of the home. We hope to keep this home in our family and our hearts for many years to come!

What makes this property unique

The home's location on the main canal off the Albemarle Sound has always made it a wonderful place to visit. Whether you like to fish, crab off the dock or just relax, the home is a peaceful respite. The home was fully renovated in 2018 and outfitted with every amenity imaginable.
