The ground floor of this vacation retreat scores full marks for popular entertainment options! Amenities begin with an oceanside recreation room with handsome patterned porcelain tile flooring and a wet bar with a sink and refrigerator for drink and snack storage. This lively space is equipped with a regulation-size pool table, two pub tables with stools, and a mounted flatscreen TV. Movie viewing is a blast in the cinema-style home theater with tiered seating for sixteen, surround sound, and an 80" flatscreen TV. A half bath is conveniently located on this level. Bedding options include a king suite with a flatscreen TV and private bath and a delightful children's suite with a private bath furnished with two pyramid bunks and a flatscreen TV.

Doors from the rec room open onto a covered patio and beyond to the outdoor pool area, where a brilliant blue private pool (with a kiddie pool) takes center stage and promises hours of fun in the sun! In between refreshing dips, lounge poolside and relax under clear coastal skies. A poolside cabana offers a reprieve from the sun, bar seating for eight, an outdoor TV, and a cabana shower. A private walkway leads to a dune-top gazebo with built-in seating to overlook beach activities and then stroll to relaxing beaches and the rolling surf of the Atlantic. As evening arrives, gather in the bubbling hot tub to rejuvenate and contemplate tomorrow's adventures.

This is our second year booking with Carolina Designs and continue to be very happy with them! #701 Tale of the Whale was a beautiful home and very clean. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need. Clean and updated showers. The pool, kiddie pool and cabana were our favorite part. Close to restaurants and attractions, but our beach wasn't crowded at all. We are already planning our 2024 vacation with Carolina Designs and definitely will use this house again if we get the chance!
