OCEANFRONT Hatteras – As the sun starts to make its ascent over the horizon each morning, it illuminates everything that makes BEACH HAVEN the quintessential vacation retreat. With three levels of decking that run the length of this expansive eight-bedroom/seven-full and two-half-bath home, the views alone are just some of the jewels to fill a treasure trove of memories.

Just steps from the beach, the ground level 13-foot by 29-foot pool is bathed in morning and mid-afternoon sun. Behind it, a six-person hot tub is under cover and shaded, perfect for a relaxing soak in any weather. Inside, strike up some friendly competitive action in the game room where a seven-foot pool table, foosball table, and big-screen TV with surround sound offer an entertaining respite. No need to travel far for snacks and beverages: there’s a convenient kitchenette here, too. A king bedroom with full ensuite bath and a half-bath complete this level.

Take the elevator and discover four more bedrooms on the second level. Two king bedrooms each have a full ensuite bath, the latter including a Jacuzzi tub. Another king bedroom and one with a queen-over-king pyramid bunk share a full hallway bath. Sliders open onto a deck outfitted with Adirondack chairs, perfect for stargazing before drifting off to sleep or settling in with a good book.

For a house that can accommodate 20 people, there needs to be a special space for everyone to come together. The third level accomplishes that with a superb open layout complemented by soaring cathedral ceilings. A massive kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, two dishwashers, double wall ovens, a commercial ice maker, and an eat-at counter that seats six. After growing roots with unhurried meals at the eight-seat dining room table, move the action to the living room to stream your favorite shows on the Smart TV. Can’t agree on what to watch? A separate den offers another option. Better still, venture out to the deck and enjoy the ever-changing nature show the sea and sky provide. This level also includes a half-bath and a king master bedroom with an ensuite bath featuring a Jacuzzi tub. A spiral staircase leads up to a fourth-level loft where two more king master bedrooms with ensuite baths featuring Jacuzzi tubs complete the accommodations.

Book BEACH HAVEN with dreams of the perfect family getaway. You will leave with them fulfilled.
