Welcome to Whale Kept Secret, your hidden sanctuary on Hatteras Island, where ocean breezes, countless horizons, and the art of true escape come together. Unwind and relax with striking ocean vistas and relaxing sounds that fill the air, while three levels of wraparound decks offer unparalleled vistas from every angle. Each of the six bedrooms features a private ensuite bathroom and sliding doors to the decks, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living and inviting you to savor the beauty of the island from sunrise to starlit nighttime.
Ground Level – Your Private Coastal Oasis
From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the magic! With parking for up to eight cars and elevator access to all floors, settling in is effortless. Step outside and your backyard heaven unfolds: a shining pool, kiddie pool, and a calming 7-person hot tub set the stage for fun and leisure. Surround sound around the pool sets the ideal mood for sunny afternoons or evening gatherings. Fire up the grille for the day’s fresh catch, gather around the picnic table for alfresco dining as the sky turns cotton-candy pink at sunset, and appreciate family games in the roomy yard. An outdoor shower and fish-cleaning station make life by the water simple, and a paved walkway just beyond the dune leads straight to the vast sands of Rodanthe Beach.
Second Level – A Playground by the Sea
Laughter fills the air on the second floor, where the game room is a wonderland of entertainment, featuring a pool table, air hockey, arcade favorites, intelligent TVs, and music that keep the energy alive. A comfortable lounge area provides a spot to chill between rounds, and the kitchenette makes it painless to grab snacks and drinks before heading outside to savor the pool. An enchanting underwater-themed bunk room sleeps five, featuring one full and three single beds, and a private en-suite with a jetted tub/shower, bringing the magic of the ocean indoors. A convenient half bath is located on this level.
Third Level – Serene Coastal Retreats
Upstairs, the pace slows and the vistas stretch farther. Four private en-suites welcome you into restful retreats: three king En-suite bedrooms designed for blissful nights, and a gorgeous bedroom with two twin beds and a private bath is ideal for younger travelers or friends. Each space offers direct access to the wraparound decks, where sea breezes and starlit skies accompany morning coffee, and where the day comes to an end. Intelligent TVs with Roku in every room make it simple to cozy up for a movie nighttime, while a sunny workspace and convenient washer/dryer bring thoughtful touches to extended stays.
Fourth Level – The Soul of the Home
The top floor is where the soul of Whale Kept Secret really shines. The great room, bathed in golden light from walls of windows, frames beautiful ocean vistas and relaxing soundside sunsets, inviting you to soak in every moment. Cozy seating, a gas fireplace, and a huge Intelligent TV make it ideal for family gatherings, while the chef-ready kitchen is equipped for creating memorable coastal feasts. The cavernous dining area provides ample space for everybody to share meals, laughter, and stories. Step out onto the broad top-level deck and breathe in the salt air— watch the waves roll in, or relax as the ocean breeze carries the day away. The primary king suite on this level is its own sanctuary, featuring dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and private deck access for those peaceful moments when it feels like the whole island is yours.
Adventure Awaits
Just three rows from the beach, Whale Kept Secret puts the ocean within effortless reach. With three levels of wraparound decks, you’ll have a front-row seat to the wonders of Hatteras Island—whether it’s stargazing under the nighttime sky, a fiery sunset spilling across the sound, or taking in the laid-back beach vibe. Every detail has been designed for more than just a stay—it’s a canvas for your most cherished beach memories, waiting to be painted in sun, sea, and sand.
