Bedroom #1 has a queen size bed, TV and attached half bath. Bedroom #2 has a full size bed. Bedroom #3 has twin size bunk beds and full size sleeper sofa, TV and AM/FM receiver. The living room has a large flat screen smart TV and AM/FM receiver. Balcony has a reading desk with library of over 90 hard cover books. There is a separate laundry room with full size ,washer and dryer. The living room has a large cathedral ceiling with skylights to fill the house with sunlight during the day. The front deck has built in chairs and is large enough for private sunning. The screened back porch has a wet bar, ice maker and deck chairs for relaxing after a fun filled day to watch the sun set over the sound. There is an outside fish cleaning table with two sinks and running water. Top it off with a large outside charcoal picnic grill and you will call this your 'home away from home!' We vacation here ourselves, so it is maintained to the highest standards.
Known for it's prevailing southwest winds, Hatteras Island offers windsurfing and kiteboarding conditions like no other. The surf has incredible breaks for surfers of all abilities. If fishing is your fancy, it is available on multiple levels, including surf-fishing, pier-fishing, and offshore or inshore charters. If you like to drive on the beach, there are multiple entrance ramps available for your 4x4 vehicle.
Walking to the ocean or sound takes just minutes. Leave your car in the driveway and discover the fun filled activities just a short walk away. At the end of the street is a watersports shop, where kayaks, jet-skis, surfboards, kiteboards and paddle boards are all available for rent. Never tried any of these? They offer lessons to all levels as well. There is a Dairy Queen directly at the end of our road where you can enjoy an ice cream sundae after a hearty dinner at several restaurants only minutes away.
Regardless of where you have vacationed in the past, 'Tranquility Cottage' will offer you and your family a peaceful and relaxing environment. We hope you will want to return year after year like many of our guests.
