Watch the sun rise over the Atlantic Ocean, look for dolphins from the deck, swim in the private pool, soak in the hot tub, or stroll a few feet to a soft sand beach. Ethereal mermaid colors enhance a large great room with a gourmet kitchen and a sweeping view of the ocean. Each room has a private bath; 5 rooms have a king bed; the 6th has two twin beds. This is our second home, and we do not rent it, so we are flexible about dates. We have books, bikes, ocean kayaks, seashells, movies. A superb grocery and both casual and gourmet restaurants close by. Bike a few minutes to the nearby small town of Duck, climb a lighthouse, see wild ponies, take a day trip via ferry to Ocracoke Island. 30 minutes to Wright Brothers Sand Dunes (home of aviation) with museum and hang-gliding lessons.
