About this Property
Overview
If you're looking for a place where you can escape to the beach and enjoy the simple pleasures of calling the Outer Banks your "home" for a little while, then look no further than Sweet Carolina. This 5-bedroom vacation home is located in the Schooner Ridge subdivision of Duck and couldn't be any more perfectly nestled in the live oaks that encapsulate the front yard. A hammock and picnic table are available in the shade provided by the oak trees and make for the perfect spot to lounge the afternoon away or enjoy a tasty meal outdoors. The large enclosed room under the house is sure to impress the entire vacation group. As you open the doors, an automatic light illuminates a space that houses just about every beach and yard toy, game, and piece of equipment one could hope for. Bikes, boogie boards, skim boards, beach chairs, basketballs, soccer balls, cornhole, fishing rods, and more.
Sweet Carolina is only a short distance from quite a few attractions. At the bottom of the subdivision are two local gems: Sweet T's Coffee, Beer & Wine, and Duck Duck Burgers. You won't want to go an entire week without stopping in to at least one of them. Across Duck Road, towards the west, is the soundfront boardwalk where you can enjoy many local shops and eateries and catch unbeatable sunset views each evening. You'll pass the Recreation Center on your right as you enter the Schooner Ridge subdivision. That is where you can enjoy an outdoor pool (seasonally) and a heated indoor pool (year-round), tennis courts, a racquetball court, a playground, an exercise room, and more. Only .1 miles down the street from the house is an exclusive beach access and seasonal oceanfront pool available for Schooner Ridge guests. After a day at the beach, venturing around town, and enjoying the subdivision amenities, relax into the evening by taking a dip in the bubbling hot tub on the first floor deck.

Turning into the paved driveway, undoubtedly, the first thing that you'll notice is the immense and beautiful live oak trees that shade the front yard. Spend warm, sunny days relaxing under the trees in the hammock, enjoy a meal at the picnic table or shoot some hoops at the basketball hoop in the driveway. A covered carport offers more than just a place to park the car. There is a covered outdoor shower stall and a large enclosed room that offers an abundance of yard and beach additions. Finding something to entertain those in your group while hanging out at the beach or in the yard will not be a challenge.
