About this property

Soundfront Hatteras Home with Hot Tub, Private Sound Access, and Boat Slips

SOUNDFRONT Hatteras - Ellwood Ct. - SAIL ON is a large, custom-designed home built on a bulkheaded peninsula in Hatteras Village. With its expansive views of the sound, it simply can't be beat. Enjoy the private pier with 2 boat slips (approx. three ft. draft). Use your private docks for your fishing boat, personal watercraft, tossing a crab pot, or fishing. Bring your kayak, paddleboard (or rent one from us), kite board or sail board and SAIL ON! Or, simply relax on your float in the cool water or put your waders on and fish. If you feel like having a beach day, the ocean is just a short walk away.

From your covered carports, step up to the first level of the home, where you'll find tile floors, a queen master bedroom with Smart TV, door to the soundfront deck, bathroom with dual vanities, tub, and separate shower. Two more queen bedrooms on this level share a full hall bath that also has tile shower and tub. One bedroom has a door to the enclosed porch where you can relax at the outdoor dining table in front of amazing sound views. The other bedroom leads to the soundfront deck with indulgent sound and sunset views. There is also a study alcove with desk and laundry area on this level.

At the end of the day, relax in your secluded hot tub overlooking Pamlico Sound. The king master bedroom is located on the top floor. This room is accented with wood ceilings, Smart TV, custom tile shower, spacious closet, and water views from every window. The main level also includes a great room with windows that rise 16 ft. high to vaulted wood ceilings, made from northern spruce once used in ship building. The living area, kitchen, and dining room are surrounded with mounted Marlins, Sail Fish, and many other off shore fish. The room also offers relaxing furnishings in front of the home theater system, complete with surround sound and custom bookcases.

The kitchen boasts granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, gas cook top, and an 8 foot, hand carved, glass mural. The breakfast bar adjoins the dining area, that provides seating for six. The dining area also includes a buffet serving bar with mini-fridge. At days end, step outside, relax in your rocking chair, and appreciate how starry the nights on Hatteras can be. Nautical design details and proximity to the water make you feel as if you are actually vacationing on a ship. Book your waterfront escape at SAIL ON today. This home does not have a landline. Fireplace seen in photos is not available for guest use.

Canceled because of covid. Than you for your help. I am sure all would have met our expectations.

Might be interested in ocean front next trip. Perhaps June 2021. Am guessing plans would need to be made. What are hurricane Evans or cancellations like. That is our only worry.

Very little shopping. Most restaurants don't open until 2 pm. Long drive to grocery store. NO food delivery available from anyone.

Thank you, Linda, for sharing your experience at Sail On - #796. We're glad you stayed with us and appreciate your feedback. Also, thank you for sharing those beach pictures; it truly highlights the natural beauty and peace of the area! Hatteras Island offers a quieter, more natural coastal setting, and as such, dining, shopping, and delivery options are more limited and often operate on reduced hours compared to larger tourist destinations. Many guests enjoy this slower pace as part of the island experience. We hope you still had a chance to enjoy a relaxing stay by the ocean!

Controlling the Thermostat

We had no control of the thermostat. I can't sleep at night with it set at 72 degrees. It was 73 or 74 at all times. It was so sweaty hot the management company brought us box fans. I am too old for that nonsense. I paid a lot of money and expect to be comfortable. During the day not a problem. The kitchen was a little messed up. It really needs some TLC. Looks like the pics must have been old. The kids were even sweating at night. They said some owners lock thermostats because people leave doors open. I'm not that guest and now I'll never go back again.

Hello Kenny, Thank you for your review and valuable feedback, and we appreciate the opportunity to investigate the thermostat controls settings. As an aside, this is not the case at all properties, and we are glad our teams were able to deliver fans for you. WE hope you enjoyed the beauties of Hatteras Island and look forward to seeing you on the island again soon! - Your Friends at Surf or Sound Realty

Enjoyed our stay

Sail On is a very nice property with beautiful views from the main living area. Although we didn't get to enjoy some of the amenities because of the time of year, we definitely enjoyed the fireplace! We would stay again if in the area!
