Ready to rent? You can check for availability and even make reservations online.

This six-bedroom, reverse floor plan, three-story home has an incredible eight ocean, sound and canal view decks, balconies and porches offering panoramic views of water on all four sides.

You will see the wetlands and the abundant wildlife, dolphins following shrimp boats in the ocean (bring your binoculars), and sleek yachts and sailboats gliding up and down the waterway. You will hear the quiet roar of the distant surf and the enchanting chorus of frogs from the Savannah-like wetlands in the early evening as the sun sets over the sound. You will probably see and hear overhead flybys of pelicans, egrets, herons and mallard ducks on their way to feeding and nesting grounds nearby ... or even an occasional whirlybird helicopter or jet squadron from Camp Lejeune or Cherry Point.

The house features a heated in-ground swimming pool available April through October. It's perfect for a quiet swim under a star filled sky or a place for the little ones to have their own water fun in a safe environment.

But what is most special is that you can launch most any boat or watercraft into the adjacent ocean, pond, canal, or sound/waterway. So bring your skiff, rowboat, paddleboat, triple engine tournament craft, kayak, canoe, zodiac, sailboat, jet ski, hobie cat, surf board, windsurfer, raft, float toy, skim board, boogie board, or motor boat, .... or rent one when you get here!

Take 157 steps down our quiet cul-de-sac, through the sand dune, and begin your beach experience like no other. It is pristine, solitary, (except for an occasional surf fisherman, beachcomber, or jogger), undeveloped (no homes on the oceanfront for miles,) and naturally beautiful in every season …. or walk out the back door to launch your boat from the private ramp or boat slip (most any number or size !!) into the quiet community deep water (seven feet) canal.

Third Floor

Quiet indoor leisure time with your group centers around the large, open living area which includes the great room with vaulted ceilings, expansive kitchen-dining room, and furnished screened porch. Here you can enjoy games, cable TV, movies (VCR and DVD), stereo music, large group dining and entertaining, wireless DSL high speed Internet activities at the computer station (with computer, monitor, fax, copier, scanner, printer), grilling on the screen porch, even dancing on the hardwood-like floors present throughout this level. The top floor also has a laundry room with washer and dryer and a half bathroom.

The family room has two queen size sleeper sofas and an adjacent small bedroom with a full bed and a deck with an ocean view. The bedroom sleeps two and is good for children who want to stay up late or an aging parent. There is an ocean view and deck which is accessible from the kitchen.

The reverse floor plan provides the most impressive views of the environs for bird watchers, nature lovers, and for the curious. Amenities for the very young include a porta–crib, high chair, three baby gates, and a wagon for a ride to the beach.

The two separate bedrooms share a full bathroom. The floor has full ceramic tile and area rugs. There are two outside access doors either through the closed garage (with remote control door) or to the back yard/patio where there is a shower with hot and cold water that is enclosed for privacy. A third door leads upstairs. The ground level has its own air conditioner and dehumidifier.

Backyard

Outside in the back there is a landscaped fenced-in yard and playground and patio-deck with a shaded hammock in the breezeway and an airswing. The patio is furnished and it has a barbecue grill. There is a portable basketball goal that can used at the asphalt cul-de-sac.

Beyond the boat ramp is an in-ground fenced gas heated pool with picnic table and recliner deck chairs it is 28' x 14' and the depth ranges from 3.5 to six feet.

Beyond the back yard the canal is bulkheaded and there is a double sized boat slip to accommodate a 38 foot vessel and one or two other small ones, and boat dock and a private launching ramp (15' wide). The canal has recently been dredged and is five feet deep at low tide. The one car under-house garage and the large driveway and Cul-de-sac can accommodate 9 + cars. A second refrigerator is in the garage.

Sports Activities

Casual and serious sportsmen are attracted by opportunities to hunt and fish. Throw in a line dockside or sign up on a large group or a small private deep sea charter. The New River Inlet is ten minutes away for ocean trolling or gulf stream trips. The inlet area is federal land so you may drive to the north end out on the beach and join the community of fishing families who fish and cookout or tailgate picnic from their vehicle.

The fall months of September to November are the prime time when the schools of fish run along the coast (including flounder, spot, mullet, and bluefish) then proceed up the Intracoastal Waterway. Fishermen crowd the Sea View Fishing Pier all night long when the fish are running. Or bring a gill net and pull in a cooler full.

Duck hunting in the winter time is an attraction in the more remote areas north via the AIWW.

High energy sports available in the area include parasailing, scuba diving, jet skiing, tubing, cycling, and surfing. Near the high rise bridge is a large dirt bike run and a magnificent golf course at the North Shore Country Club. There are numerous other courses as well. No Smoking, Please.
