Oceanview Home with Private Saltwater Pool, Hot Tub, Elevator, and Game Room
OCEANVIEW Buxton — Tower Circle Dr. — Colors that evoke the sea, design that delights in the details, and unique touches that remind you that pampering is something we can all use a little more of is why BRIGHT AS THE SUN is the perfect home to begin a new Cape Hatteras tradition. Just 300 feet from the shore and miles away from daily cares, this ocean view home offers not just a place for families to reconnect and decompress, but endless opportunities to create lifetime memories and moments. Park your car in the carport and enjoy the ground-level amenities that include an outside shower, a fish-cleaning station, and private heated saltwater pool with a convenient outside air-conditioned half bathroom.
No need to haul bags up flights of steps - an elevator whisks you to your destination. First stop: a mid-range landing featuring a washer/dryer nook. The door opens on the first level to a furnished game room the kids may never leave; three elegantly styled bedrooms, each equipped with an LED Smart TV (featuring Roku) and DVD player, and a deck and covered porch that protects a soothing hot tub from the elements. The next mid-range level reveals a convenient half bathroom.
Last stop and the pinnacle of this delightful experience is a gorgeous kitchen and living room area — the perfect space to celebrate life in its finest moment — laughing and regaling each other with beloved stories and memories. The kitchen is a cook’s dream: quartz countertops, a breakfast island with three bar stools, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of room to make those memorable vacation meals that can be shared around an eight-seat dining table. Tall ceilings and picture windows bring the ocean into view and new perspectives into place. Inhabitants of the master bedroom won’t have to stray far to reach a sanctuary that offers a full bathroom and private deck access for quiet conversation. The whole family comes together again on a wide, furnished south-facing sundeck and covered porch offering a gas grill to prepare the day’s fresh catch while admiring stunning views of Buxton beach and the iconic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. Book now to welcome the sunrise from this perch and experience a getaway that is as BRIGHT AS THE SUN.

A unique layout but certainly adequate rooms and amenities. Beware if renting outside of linen season. Vrbo description lists linens provided but that is only true a portion of the season. Vrbo needs to be cautious listing amentities that are not in fact included. Good stay. I’ll rent directly from the realty company in the future to save money and not use Vrbo.
