Our Beach House: Oceanfront Dog Friendly w/ Private Pool, Hot Tub, Basketball
OCEANFRONT Salvo - Colony Dr. - Formerly Almost Paradise at Salvo -You’ll know the feeling the moment you arrive in Salvo and breathe in the salt air. This isn’t just another rental; OUR BEACH HOUSE is the place where you finally settle in, kick off your shoes, and let the rest of the world fade away. We designed this five-bedroom/three-full and one-half-bath home to feel different from the start, less like a temporary stay and more like your own coastal sanctuary. From the bright, refreshed interiors with light coastal accents to the open living spaces that invite long conversations, every corner is meant to be lived in and loved. When you’re telling stories about your trip later, we want you to call it “our beach house” and truly mean it.
Your days here follow the natural rhythm of the Atlantic. It starts with morning coffee on the oceanfront deck as the sun climbs over the horizon, followed by easy walks across the sand just steps from your door. Here, you will find a shoreline that’s wide and uncrowded, offering the kind of peace that’s hard to find elsewhere. When you’ve had your fill of the surf, the private 12’ x 23’ pool is waiting for a refreshing dip, while the screened porch offers a shaded retreat. As evening approaches, the 6-person hot tub becomes the best seat in the house for watching the sun drop over the sound, painting the sky in colors you’ll remember long after you leave.
The bedrooms are designed to offer everyone their own private corner of the coast. On the upper level, the king master suite serves as a quiet sanctuary, featuring French doors that open directly onto the oceanfront deck. The rest of the family will find total convenience on the first level, where guests can choose between a spacious king bedroom or a room with two queen beds that share a bath with a jetted tub. For the kids or additional crew members, a pyramid bunk room and a fifth queen bedroom share a well-appointed hall bath.
The rest of the home is laid out for effortless living and shared memories, the star of the show being the spacious third level warmed by wooden beams and natural light. Just off the great room, the kitchen features two dedicated work areas, making it easy for the whole group to cook together without crowded counters. Step outside to the expansive deck that serves as your front-row seat to the pristine Hatteras Island landscape, where the unobstructed ocean views remind you exactly why you’re here. We hope that when you arrive, it feels like yours, and when you leave, you’re already planning your return. Over time, this home becomes a collection of real memories, and we invite you to be a part of its story. Book your stay at OUR BEACH HOUSE and finally make it yours.

Three generations of family. Loved watching the sun rise from all rooms. Having the beach all to ourselves and it being just over the dune was perfect. The stroll over the dune can be challenging if you have any problem with walking or breathing. House had everything we needed

It's our team's goal to continue to make updates and improvements to ensure an enjoyable stay for all our guests. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Hatteras Island in the future.
The property was in a great location. The beach was right over the dunes. The house was nice, but definitely needs some updating. There was a burner on the stove that didn't work, not all the jets in hot tub worked, plus the headrests were gone. The upstairs strongly smelled of dog and the gate on the top deck had a broken spindal and dragged on the deck when you tried to open it. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything you needed to make meals.

Loved the house but the grill was a state park style cemented to the ground uneven charcoal grill. I would have brought my own if I had known.

Home is very comfortable but starting to show the need for general updating. Living room furniture worn. deck railings throughout are loose or missing, picnic table upper level damaged. (Surf & Sound attended to removing the damaged wood but table remained unuseable). Elctrical outlets non functioning in upper level bathroom.

Nice place to stay. Getting to beach was easy. The deck was great to sit on at night and having the pool was great for the kids. Driving to super market was the only real issue but we knew going in that this would be a 20 minute drive. Some things needed to be repaired but weren't a game changer.
