There's something for everyone with the great room, featuring dramatic 20' cathedral ceilings, family room, den, game room, two-car garage, large un-heated pool, and deluxe seven-person hot tub. The elevator makes this an ideal retreat for families with older members and small children, as well as handicap features. WHISPERING SANDS is equipped with high-speed internet access, but we recommend doing your surfing on the waves!

Sliding glass door access to pool, hot tub and grilling area. Lounge in the adjoining den (CTV, DVD, and stereo). The primary suite features two pyramid bunks (full and twin beds) and a private bath (with HC roll-in shower). A two-car garage (auto opener, locked storage) with concrete drive provides an easy-to-access and use all-weather entry to the elevator and house. On the first floor, relax in four primary suites (each with a private bath, one handicap accessible) symmetrically arranged around the family room, wet bar (fridge, coffee station, table), and laundry (washer/dryer). Lounge in the family room on a large comfy sectional with a book or movie (CTV/DVD/home theater) from the 100+ video collection, 100+ book library, music (surround sound stereo), dozens of board games, dozens of puzzles, or access the deck with ocean and pool views.
When you reach the top floor, savor your time in the 38' wide great room featuring dramatic cathedral ceilings (20') and memorable ocean and Pamlico Sound views. Enjoy music (surround sound stereo) or catch a movie (CTV/DVD/home theater). The dining area is perfect for socializing and gatherings with seating for everyone, a breakfast bar and a wet bar.

This was a great place for our family of 17.
This home was perfect for a family getaway vacation. We had little ones ranging from under 1 to 12 years old. It was enough space for all the kids to play and run around and an easy walk to the beach.
The only drawback was we did not feel the house was thoroughly cleaned. This home needs a deep cleaning. There was leftover food on the windowsill, and a cleaning tag in the freezer. When we went to clean the house before we left, some of the sweepers did not have bags. The one that did was jampacked full and my husband had to empty it as there were no extra bags. Overall our family had a wonderful time in this house though.

Don't forget the pool
Wonderful location, perfect house with all the amenities, price and product evenly matched, home showing signs of wear. Big house for a big family. Would rent again.

Perfect!!
The house was perfect!! My family and extended family had plenty of space to spend time together and also to have separation when needed. The kitchen was well stocked with two coffee pots, plenty of pots, pans and serving dishes also. The property and pool area were very clean. The distance to the beach was walkable with stuff and toddlers.
