Terrapin's Pace
OCEANFRONT Hatteras - Lighthouse Ct. - For a slower paced, carefree island vacation, enjoy a relaxing getaway at TERRAPIN'S PACE. This 5,100 sq. ft. home is sure to relax you.
Step into the backyard pool area and find your very own private resort featuring a large pool, in-ground hot tub, stone and tile Tiki bar, natural grassy areas and an abundance of room to lounge and soak up the sun. Your group will appreciate plenty of deck, pool and Tiki bar furniture on which to lounge the day away. Unpacking the car is convenient with the elevator, taking you to all levels of the home. Walking to the beach is a breeze with easy access to the community boardwalk just a minute or two from the pool gate.
There is convenient access to a cabana half bath shared with the game room. Inside, the game room features a pool table, HDTV, wet bar with sink, full size refrigerator and microwave. A laundry area with dual washers/dryers is on this level, plus two master bedrooms each with pyramid bunk with trundle and HDTV. The remaining six bedrooms each feature a large, streaming HDTV. The second floor has two master bedrooms (1 queen, 1 king) with deck access and three king master bedrooms with access to oceanfront decks and incredible ocean views. All bedrooms feature private baths. There is a half bath on the way upstairs to the third floor.
A luxurious great room with cathedral ceilings and reclaimed heart pine floors open to a large dining area and gourmet kitchen with custom cabinets, granite countertops, 8 burner gas stove, deluxe refrigerator, wine cooler, ice machine, 2 dishwashers and a double oven. Off the great room is a separate insulated oak-panel theater room with four luxury recliners, a 65" HDTV, a DVD top-of-the-line Harmon/Kardon surround sound system, and extensive movie library. Outside, the oceanfront decks offer room to relax, gather with friends and enjoy a morning sunrise over the ocean. Wall to wall windows with amazing oceanfront views and upscale furnishings and amenities round out the beautifully appointed great room.
On the fourth floor, find a top level oasis with king master suite featuring a private oceanfront deck and master bath with Jacuzzi, tile dual-head shower and double sinks.
