Are you ready for your Barrier Island Bliss oceanside vacation? Take a dip in your own private pool or hang out underneath the carport. There is an outdoor shower for you to use to get that sand off.

(Please note that the elevator reaches up to the third level, with the fourth level easily accessible by stairs.)

On the second level, challenge your friends to a game of pool and enjoy libations from the wet bar. Head out on the deck and feel the gentle ocean breezes on your face. Also on this level are two bedrooms. Both of these bedrooms are King En Suites with guests enjoying a private bathroom. If you want fresh clean towels while on vacation, make use of the laundry room provided on this level.

Up on the third level is where memories are sure to be created! Look out the vast windows and catch a glimpse of the Atlantic Ocean staring at you, offering beautiful ocean views. Feel free to open a window to catch some breezes off the beach. On this level, you will find a full, modern kitchen with bar stool seating, a half bathroom, and a comfortable great room with an electric fireplace. There is a dining table to enjoy a great meal together or play your favorite board games. The coffee will taste even better sitting in the breakfast nook near the kitchen. Venture out onto the outdoor deck and enjoy your favorite beverage while you listen to the outdoor sounds of the Outer Banks.

Upstairs on the fourth level, you will find the two Queen En Suites. There is a loft space here for more relaxation. The kids of all ages will enjoy the arcade game on this level as well.

When it is time to go to the beach, there is a private beach walkway for the entire oceanfront community to use. You will find bench seating and a gazebo as you walk towards the ocean. The view from the top of the steps never gets old.

Nestled in the heart of Kill Devil Hills, you will be close to the Wright Brothers National Memorial, local shops, restaurants, and attractions, ensuring an unforgettable getaway at Barrier Island Bliss!

The house is newer, beautiful, and very clean. The beds were all super comfortable. Kitchen could use more small spoons, butter knives, and plates. A clock in the living room would be nice and so would a full length mirror somewhere. The elevator was little tricky to operate but we figured it out - just read the directions posted inside! lolI would not market this neighborhood as "pet friendly". There is NO grass outside the houses, you have to walk out to the beach road or over to the beach, but the beach doesn't allow dogs from 9am-6pm, and I read that there's a hefty fine if you do! The pool was ice cold because it's only in the sun at high noon, so in my opinion heating it should be INCLUDED in the stay at least through June, it should not cost hundreds of dollars more per day to use it. To make it worse, the pool guy flooded the driveway when he came one morning for scheduled service which got our kites and rods all wet. We all enjoyed playing the arcade game upstairs but the pool table wasn't great. And the ice maker in the first floor bar is very loud when you're trying to get to sleep. The FarmDog chair and umbrella service was great, they did an outstanding job every day! Overall this felt more like a condo than a house, but the walkway to the beach and elevator were exactly what our older family members needed, so I'm really glad we chose this house!
