House Rules

Overview

New to the Carolina Designs program for 2027!
Four levels of decks, three levels of interior living space totaling over 5,500 square feet, an ocean view, and a private pool! All this and more are yours to enjoy when staying at Sunlight. This home shines (sun)light on all the best things that an Outer Banks vacation has to offer. A private pool for splish-splashing fun any time of day or night, a hammock and a hot tub on the middle floor deck to feel the fresh coastal air while relaxing, and a rec room for guaranteed entertainment, even in the cooler months or on a rainy day. The large fenced backyard will be your furry family members favorite spot to let out their vacation excitement. Being in Whalehead, this home is located within walking distance from two beach accesses (Marlin and Dolphin), and a short drive to a couple beach accesses that have public parking lots (Sailfish and Bonito). Monterey Plaza is right around the corner with a Food Lion, OBX Bait and Tackle, Lighthouse Bagels, Bernie's Brother Grill and Bar, Whalehead Brewery, and more.

I have already started the process of looking into a house for next year for our return to the Outer Banks and we definitely would deal with Carolina Designs and no one else.
