About this Property
Overview
Set atop a high dune just north of Duck village, First View is a six-bedroom home offering elevated ocean views and a comfortable atmosphere for your next trip to the Outer Banks. The home has been designed to take advantage of its high vantage point - ocean views are highlighted from the great room, top floor bedroom, open and screened-in porches, and from the 4th floor crows nest, where the horizon can be enjoyed almost unobstructed towards both the ocean and the sound. Every bedroom with a private bath has access to decks, furnished by comfortable Polywood outdoor seating with cushions and a hammock. Two stereo systems connect to speakers throughout the home to listen to your favorite music, and all of the TVs are Smart TVs, so you can log into your Netflix account to watch your favorite shows. The private saltwater pool is a hit on hot summer days, and poolside umbrellas are available for shade. The pool can be heated in the shoulder seasons for an additional fee. Unwind in the hot tub, play a game of foosball in the rec room, or rent a bike and cruise into the quaint town of Duck, just about a mile away and accessible by a multi-use paved path. The family-friendly town offers plenty of restaurants and cafes, boutiques, a soundside boardwalk, seasonal events, live music, and activities such as watersports, yoga, and more! The beach access is just a short walk (about 100 yards), and the community of Carolina Dunes also offers a sound access with a sandy beach, showers, bench seating, and a dock where you can easily launch a kayak, go out on a stand up paddleboard, or relax and watch the sun set over the Currituck Sound. An added bonus to renting First View is the provided pool and beach gear that the owner has available in the guest outdoor closet. There are several beach chairs, a beach umbrella, beach toys, a beach cart to tote everything to and from the oceanside, as well as a pool basketball game for those who want to splash around back at the house.

Appliances in the kitchen include a refrigerator, oven, glass stovetop, two dishwashers, sink, microwave, and Keurig.
