Dolphins' Watch - Vacation rental home in Salvo, NC

OCEANFRONT Salvo – Ocean St. – Just as Hatteras Island’s sand dunes naturally protect its beautiful beaches; the serene surroundings of DOLPHINS' WATCH provide a welcome respite between you and the world beyond. If you are looking for a heaven hideaway, you have found it in this handsome six-bedroom/six-full and two-half bath home that invites you to revel in striking coastal vistas from two decks that have the most oceanfront footage in town and from a ship’s watch tower perch. Be amazed by magical moments spotting dolphins in the ocean on your beds, in the great room, dining room, at the ship's watch tower, and on the decks!

From the ground up, DOLPHINS' WATCH artfully blends the island’s natural surroundings with amenities designed to provide a calming and calming getaway. Savor the pleasantly warm water of an oceanside solar-heated pool and the even warmer therapeutic waters of a close by hot tub. Two outdoor showers — one open and one private — are ideal for rinsing off the little ones before they make a splash in their special kiddie pool. For convenience, a bathroom is located on the lower level, down the hall from the laundry area and the home’s first master bedroom which features a queen, a set of bunk beds, a TV, and a full bathroom.

Four of the home’s six master bedrooms occupy the mid-level: two kings and two queens. All of these bedrooms feature TVs and direct access to an ocean-facing furnished deck, ideal for catching the moments the sun rises, a star shoots across the sky, or a fishing boat cruises by the coastline. There is also a game room on this level featuring a adore seat, a TV, ice hockey game table, and a Pac-Man® game machine.

The final bedroom is located on the upper level, a king master featuring a roomy ensuite bathroom with a Whirlpool tub, cavernous shower, TV, and direct access to a private ocean-facing deck. Climb the steps to the first level of the ship’s watch tower where a full-size couch, two rocking chairs, a bar table, and a coffee table offer another relaxing space with pretty broad ocean vistas. Take a few more steps up to the top level of the ship’s watch and … you will discover a 360-degree view of everything that makes Hatteras Island so special and memorable. Work here, relax here, be inspired here, but first, you need to be here. Book DOLPHINS' WATCH to make it happen.
