Idyllic Oceanfront Oasis in Kill Devil Hills
Treat yourself to a relaxing barrier island escape at this oceanfront oasis, where you can start your day by soaking up an amazing sunrise over the Atlantic. Step outside your front door to take in ocean breezes from your oceanfront balcony, or take a few steps over the sand dunes to spend the day lounging on the beach. This oceanfront vacation home provides a quiet and peaceful setting while still being conveniently located near an assortment of Outer Banks restaurants, shops, and attractions. Be sure to book this fantastic 3-Bedroom, 3-Bathroom home today!

If you're looking for the ultimate place to stay for your oceanfront Outer Banks vacation, look no further than Carpe Dune. When you pull up to this perfect destination, take advantage of the provided parking right under the home. Please note that this vacation home is located on a side street off of NC12 and shares an access driveway with neighboring properties. Parking is limited to the size of the sleep arrangements provided.

Wash off those sandy beach towels and bathing suits in the Middle-Level Laundry Area which boasts a sink, microwave, and mini-fridge for easy access to all the best snacks and drinks for your run over the dunes to the beach. Don't forget to rinse off in the Outdoor Shower before heading inside! And speaking of inside, relax in the Mid-Level Den with comfortable furniture and a Flat Screen TV that's ideal for movie nights or afternoon entertainment during the summer rain. Just down the hallway, you'll find 2 Queen Bedrooms, making this a fantastic place for the whole family to get comfortable while still keeping everyone close. And with 2 Full Hallway Bathrooms, you'll never have to worry about taking care of those last-minute needs before heading back out to the surf. Step out onto the Deck for some fresh air or an easy cup of coffee in the morning sun.

On the Top Level, cook up some fresh local seafood in the expansive Kitchen with modern amenities to enjoy in the open-concept Dining Area as you take in the views of the nearby ocean. Relax in the Living Area and enjoy a movie on the Flat Screen TV as you let the brilliant Outer Banks sunshine filter into this airy, beautiful space. An additional Queen Bedroom and a Full Bathroom round out the rest of the main level.

Make your way upstairs to the Loft for even more sleeping space and another place to hang out and enjoy relaxing at the beach. Up here, you'll find 2 Twin Daybeds, a Game Table that promises hours of fun, and another TV so there's no more fighting for what to watch. Carpe Dune features light and bright beachy decor and is the perfect size for a small family. You will enjoy being only steps away from a day of playing in the surf or strolling along the shoreline so however you plan to spend your Outer Banks vacation, you'll find everything you need at Carpe Dune.
