Discover YELLOWTAIL in Southern Shores, a Carolina Designs OBX vacation rental set directly on the oceanfront with a private pool, sheltered hot tub, and multiple levels of ocean view decks. This 5-bedroom Outer Banks vacation home welcomes you with a soaring foyer, a compass inlaid in the hardwood flooring, and views of the Atlantic straight ahead.

Overview

Beautifully designed and decorated, Yellowtail is a 5-bedroom oceanfront home that is sure to impress. The moment you step into the foyer, look up and admire the high ceiling and the woodworking along the walls, look down to steal a glance of the compass engrained within the hardwood flooring, or look straight ahead to see what everyone wants to see when they walk into their beach house: the Atlantic Ocean! Yellowtail was built with an abundance of customizations and designed with unique details that are sure to make you fall in love with the house, the location, and the amenities for guests to enjoy. It is as if industrial and coastal were to collide perfectly to create the vibe of this home. The exposed ducts along the top floor, the brass fixtures, and the raw woodwork lend an industrial touch, while the coastal decor, color palette, and furnishings throughout never let you forget that you are living "the beach life."

Outdoors, a private pool that can be heated, poolside loungers, a sheltered hot tub, and multiple levels of ocean view decks are just some of the features to look forward to. The top level deck offers one of the highest vantage points to watch the dolphins play in the surf. An elevator serves the floors of the home, four parking spaces are available, and free high-speed wireless internet keeps everyone connected. With nine TVs, a media room, a recreation room, six full baths, and one half bath, this Southern Shores retreat is built for a comfortable, spacious stay. Please note that this is a Saturday check-in home and no pets are allowed.

Ground Floor

  • Rec room for indoor/outdoor living
  • Kitchenette with refrigerator drawers, icemaker, and sink
  • Shared bath
  • Outdoors: private pool, hot tub, open outdoor shower

The ground floor rec room offers a large mounted flatscreen TV, sofa and armchair seating, and a kitchenette with a sink, icemaker, refrigerator drawers, and cabinet storage. What makes this space unique and even more enjoyable is the connection between the indoor lounge and the poolside covered seating area. Let the breeze off the ocean refresh the air inside, and listen to the waves crash on shore right on the other side of the dune. Enter into the fully-fenced pool area to make a splash in the crystal blue pool, lay out on one of the poolside loungers, or enjoy all that the ocean has to offer. Rinse off the sand and saltwater with ease in the open outdoor shower that is located in the pool area, and fire up the gas grill for a relaxed evening cookout beside the pool.
