About this property

Sound-front vacation home w/private hot tub, WiFi, central AC, balcony, deck

Super soundfront Stars On The Water provides a dreamlike setting, perfectly secluded among the natural maritime forest. Situated just off the highway down an unassuming rock driveway lined with lovely trees, sits this stellar retreat. On the ground level, a carport, ample parking, a large stone patio with gas grill and seating and a beautiful white sand beach awaits your arrival. Inside, you are welcomed with luxurious furnishings, beautiful decor, and incomparable attention to detail. On the first floor, you will find a kitchenette with tile floors, a large card table, an iPod docking station, and XM Radio.

Four lavish bedrooms each with a private bath, (two with walk-in tile showers), guarantee sweet dreams. The great room with a gas fireplace is tastefully decorated with plush furniture to compliment the beam ceilings, wood floors, and breathtaking views. The kitchen is sure to please even the most demanding chef with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and an island with a gas cooktop. The large dining area is open to the kitchen making serving meals hassle-free. Take a front-row seat and relax on the deck or in the hot tub as you watch the magical sunset over the Pamlico Sound. Indulge in a vacation at Stars On The Water.

Overall the house and property were wonderful. there were a few things that I would recommend the owner fix/update but all in all it was a great place on a great property at a great location for a very reasonable price. We come down to OBX annually and I would stay here again.

This house was beautiful! Lovely views of the sound from every floor, set back from Highway 12 so you couldn't see or hear traffic. Very comfortable and peaceful!

Sound Side Beautiful

Exceptional home with nice architectural detail nestled in a live oak grove with its own private sound-side beach. We loved the privacy and surrounding forest. Interiors are beautiful. It was great being close to Cape Hatteras, lighthouse, trails, beaches, and orv roads. Sunsets and kayaking from private beach, where we spent a lot of time floating around in the sound and reading. Exceptional!

Really nice home in a great location.

Loved the privacy this home provides. The home has a nice private beach on the sound directly behind it. Well equipped kitchen with plenty to place settings, glassware, cookware, and small appliances like blender, mixer, toaster. There were four of us, but this house has ample room for up to 8 guests with 4 bedrooms and 4 1/2 bathrooms.

Wonderful home in a private setting!

Large and spacious home for 2 families. Caveat: we spent A LOT of time at the house due to Hurricane Debby. Loved the ground floor kitchen and rec space. Hot tub was well maintained…we used it nearly every day. The main level kitchen is so spacious and very well stocked with cooking items! Large dining/living room area made it easy to congregate. Loved the location…easy to get to Avon or Hatteras. Would stay here again!

Absolutely Gorgeous House!

After 21 years of going to Hatteras and staying in different houses every year, THIS IS THE ONE! Beautiful home, well maintained and perfect amenities! The private sound beach made all of the difference when we couldn't make it to the ocean! Grandchildren approved! We will be back!

Perfect House in the Perfect Location

The house is beautiful. The only negative I can think of is the pots and pans have been used hard - not the owner’s fault. There is a big selection of them but you can tell they have been used over the years. The location is amazing. You don’t always find a sound front house with a beac area

beautiful house/view malfunctioning hot tub

The house was very well appointed. It was quiet which we loved. nice sound access. But only about half of the jets in the hot tub worked. Let VACASA know, but no one ever came to check on it. For a house that rents for over $5K per week I expect certain things.

Beautiful Home but needs a little......

The home and ammenities were as described. To me the house needs a little work and upkeep. There were storms the week prior to our visit and there were several screens that were blown out and hanging. The patio area needed to be cleaned as well. Most everything was covered with leaves and needed to be blown off. Finally, the hot tub wasn't working properly, only a few of the jets worked althought the water was nice and warm as to be expected.

Great Home!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Stars On The Water and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. After over 20 years of renting different beach houses, this one stands out as one of my favorites, and I’m already planning my return. One of the first things that struck me was how comfortable the beds were. It’s often hit or miss with rental properties, but this house exceeded my expectations. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed, with plenty of natural light filtering through the windows, making for a bright and welcoming atmosphere. The open concept design upstairs is perfect for gathering with family or friends, offering plenty of space to relax, cook, and dine together. Speaking of cooking, the kitchen is fantastic, equipped with modern appliances that made meal prep a breeze. Whether you’re making a quick breakfast or a full dinner, you’ll find everything you need here. Another thoughtful touch was the complimentary shampoo, conditioner, and soap provided in the bathrooms, along with high-quality towels and linens. These small details really enhance the overall comfort and convenience of the stay. The only minor downside was that the trees around the property partially blocked some of the views. However, this was a small trade-off for the privacy and serene surroundings they offered. The outdoor spaces, including the decks, still provided plenty of opportunities to enjoy the fresh ocean air and the sound of the waves. Overall, Stars On The Water is a gem in the OBX rental market. From the spacious rooms to the modern amenities and thoughtful touches, it’s clear that a lot of care has gone into making this a top-notch vacation spot. I can’t wait to come back and enjoy another stay at this fantastic property. Highly recommended!
