NEW for 2025 SEASON, New carpeting installed on the entire top floor, stairs, and hallways, and new sofas in the living room
Beautifully positioned on the sound-front, this home overlooks the private Hatteras wetlands that border the soundside coastline. Here in the Kinnakeet Shores neighborhood, you'll find the perfect spot for nature viewing as you relax at the top of the Carolina Breeze.

Begin on the top level, which offers a kitchen with a brand-new refrigerator, a dishwasher, a Keurig, and an air fryer. This level is partitioned by a breakfast bar and completed with an updated dining set that includes two large bench seats. As an added secret bonus, this dining room table can be converted into both a pool table and a Ping-Pong table by removing the top. Dinner, dessert, family game night - it all happens here!

Down the half-flight central staircase is the main living room with a large TV and a minibar. The massive windows, from floor to ceiling, capture a picture-perfect view overlooking the sound and incredible sunsets.

One floor below, on the main level, you'll find a brand-new washer/dryer, a queen bedroom, and a dual-pyramid bedroom. Down on the lower level is a uniquely laid-out primary suite that includes a king bed, an additional double bed, a jetted tub, and a subdivided bathroom space. The entire home has gone through recent renovations, including a newly painted interior, a new HVAC and plumbing system, and new Adirondack deck chairs.

Outside, the ground level features a brand-new gas grill and an outdoor shower. At the end of the street is an untamed nature walkway that leads you directly to the sound. Take an evening stroll to view the sunset or, in the opposite direction, a morning walk to the beach along the community walkway. This home also includes access to the Kinnakeet Shores Pool and Tennis.

Come take in the views, the trees, and the seas while vacationing in the Carolina Breeze.

Nice Vacation Home

Loved the view and location of the home. Very pleased with the response from VACASA when we couldn't get the air to work, all it was, was the breaker had kicked off and they were very helpful. We definitely would rent from VACASA again and love to rent this home again.

Great location and views!

This home is well located near public beach access, in a great walk-able neighborhood. We loved the sunsets from the elevated deck and being able to sit outside and see the sound and nature, not the back of another home. Our family enjoyed our stay and were happy to be able to bring our pups as well! Please note, part of the yard has small native cactus, which limited the outdoor access for the dogs, but the grassy side yard is sufficient. It was difficult to tell from the description, but as of the date of this review, the house does have all utensils and any other kitchenware needed for your stay. Although we loved having access to the pool table/ping-pong table, as others commented the paddles need to be replaced, as does the ping-pong net, and the pool sticks could use some chalk too. Parts of the home are somewhat dated but all appliances are newer, clean, and in great working order.

listing of property was not accurate at all

listing of property was not accurate did not enclose that there were many many steps and no access to beach. None both pools you went to gave us a hard time to swim because we had to be members. It was not that clean had to vacuum it really good so my one year-old kid get on the floor without putting stink bugs in his mouth. My main thing was numerous of things, not enclosed on listing too much money for no access to the beach no way to go to the pool without arguing that it was enclosed you could go. They say you’re not a member too much money. Nothing is closed. You have to drive out to get food etc and we had to drive 20 minutes out to have beach access

Great location but expect to do a lot of cleaning

The house was in a great spot, within walking distance to the beach and bay, but the master bed sheets were stained, the kids bedroom closet had a rolled up wet carpet that smelled like urine, the second bedroom next to the kids had blonde hair in sheets and all comforters smelled bad, The floor mats in bathrooms were dirty, I spend the second day of my stay washing everything. There was a cockroach in the kids bathroom, also in balconies and by the main entrance outside. The tvs in bedrooms don’t work, and the fan in the room that had blonde hair in bed was noisy and could not be on, it was shaking that we didn’t feel safe having it on. Vacasa staff came right away to take the dirty carpet out of the kids closet, and unclogged the bathroom sink. Lamps in those bedrooms needed new light bulbs. I didn’t report the fan, roaches or tvs to the staff because I felt I wanted to enjoy rather than fix everything that didn’t work. The property management need to do a better job getting the house ready for guest, we did the cleaning during our stay and followed the steps for checking out, however I felt like there’s no one looking at these issues.

It was okay

We have stayed in much better prepped houses. This one had sparse cookware, and the home layout was odd. Great house if you are just needing a shower and a place to sleep.

Had a nice vacation in the off-season. The price, location, and being dog friendly were great. The house is dated and could use some upgrades and treatments, but for a short stay was fine.

The view was great. Everything else was not

The balcony view of the sound was awesome. Everything else was pretty underwhelming. The house was old and needs upkeep. There's not enough furniture and the existing furniture is old and gross.
