Fiddlestix-Relax on Beautiful Hatteras Island

Fiddlestix is the perfect place to relax on beautiful Hatteras Island. The house is only 2 lots back from the Atlantic Ocean making it an easy walk over the sand dunes to miles of gorgeous beaches. It is perfect for collecting shells, going for a walk or sunbathing while enjoying the sights & sounds of the ocean. Sunrises over the ocean & breathtaking sunsets over
Pamlico Sound make a great beginning & ending to days filled with watersports including kayaking, windsurfing, kiteboarding & deep sea fishing available all along the Outer Banks.

The master bedroom is on the upper main level with a king size bed, bath & flat screen TV with DVD player. The living area has a flat screen TV with DVD player to be enjoyed while playing games on the large dining table. The fully equipped kitchen has plenty of counter space for preparing meals. There is a screened porch off of the kitchen for viewing sunsets with a glass of wine or having morning coffee. There are numerous decks with a variety of moveable chairs for different needs.

The lower level has 3 bedrooms, a full bath, and a utility room with full size washer & dryer for your convenience. One bedroom has a queen bed, another has a double bed, & the 3rd has 2 twin beds. All have cable TV with DVD players. There are lots of books for all ages. The ground level has an outdoor shower with hot water to wash away the sand before going inside after a relaxing day at the beach. There is also room to park 2 vehicles under the house as well as additional parking in the driveway.

It is located in Salvo, NC in the tri-cities of Rodanthe, Waves & Salvo. The Atlantic Ocean & Pamlico Sound are both visible from the upper deck on this narrow barrier island. The location on Colony Dr. is a nice quiet street where the sounds of the ocean permeate the quiet. It is great for walking & bike riding or just hanging out. It is convenient for side trips such as Hatteras Island Lighthouse, free ferry to Ocracoke, Pea Island Bird Sanctuary, shopping & dining in Nags Head, deep sea fishing charters, and many, many more.

Fiddlestix was a lovely house. The welcome gifts were a delightful bonus. Unfortunately, the twin bedrooms' television was broken, but that didn't affect us at all. I believed that we watched television a total of 6 times in our 9 day stay. The master shower was a bit small, and I wish there were a couple of extra towels, but overall, it was a very enjoyable stay and we loved the location and easy access to the beach. Plenty of room for everyone with lots of activities within a short distance.

All the right bits. This property ticked all the right boxes for our group. The living room has ample seating for 11 or more. Large eating table seats 8 and is open to the living room. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking items and everything was fully functional. Bedrooms and bathrooms were all well kept and mattresses comfy. Lots of room on multiple decks to enjoy different portions of the day. We liked the screen porch in the morning with coffee since it kept the sun out of our eyes. In the evenings, the upper porch was a relaxing with a nice mix of shade and sun. At ground level there are two parking spots beneath the house, one with a picnic table. This provided an area late at night to hang out. The beach is in reasonable walking distance (entrance across street 2 houses down); just stay on the path since the shrubbery includes some tiny but thorny cacti. The local shops were more sedate than upper Hwy 12 which is a nice change of pace. Convenient stores are very close but a full grocery store is 20 minutes drive. There are multiple rental and surf sport nearby for recreation and a great swimming hole/state park within1 mile. The water there is about 2.5 ft deep for hundreds of feet with soft sand and clear water. Great for little ones.

Beautiful and Relaxing Vacation Spot!

I wanted to take my parents, siblings, and niece to the beach this summer as a delayed Christmas gift and Santa certainly delivered! Carol and Ken's home is beautiful, spacious, and a very short walk to a wonderful (and not too crowded) beach. The home was nicely decorated and had more than enough amenities for us. We managed to pack mostly everything we needed, but if you forget anything there is a Dollar General very nearby and a Food Lion about 20 minutes away. I also STRONGLY recommend checking out the Waves Market and Deli; it's delicious very reasonably priced!All in all, an absolutely wonderful vacation and I can't recommend Fiddlestix enough! If we make another trip down to OBX I certainly plan on checking the availability of the property :)

Our stay at Fiddlestix was great! It’s within walking distance of the beach and several local businesses. The house is the best we’ve stayed in: beautiful, LOTS of outdoor living/deck space and more than enough conveniences to make cooking and enjoying family time at the house a real pleasure. Highly recommend.

Great house in a quiet neighborhood

This is a great place if you're looking for quiet and beach time. The beach was a short walk away. We had a bad weather week so we didn't get to see much of what OBX has to offer. We were inside a lot so I'm thankful that the hosts had a well equipped kitchen. Overall, a great place to stay. had a well equipped kitchenh makscomfortable.

Fun at Fiddlestix

We had a wonderful stay at Fiddlestix. The house is in a great location. It was clean and had all the amenities we needed for our stay. The beach is a short but difficult walk over the dunes and not accessible for my elderly mother. Although she opted to stay back while we went to the beach, she enjoyed sitting in the screened in porch area and reading. There was something for everyone. Thank you for providing a beautiful place for our vacation.

Beach fun

We were two families with kids. The house was very workable for multiple adults and kids. The house has all the amenities you need. The proximity to the beach was great, a short 5 min. walk. The host was absolutely great and very responsive. One con would be the size of the bedrooms. They are on the small side, so it you need to put an air mattress down, there really isn’t much space. Not a problem, just wanted to mention it. Overall a great value for a stay this close to the beach!

Our Week Stay at Fiddlestix

We had a fantastic stay at your beach house! Everything was as described. Host was very friendly and responded to all questions / concerns I had. Walk to beach was short. Only issues we had was transporting the storage wagon over the dunes, but that wasn’t too bad. There was one area walking to the beach, through the path between the homes, where a large concrete stone was protruding from ground. Whoever walks through there should be mindful not to hit with foot, as my brother did, or you may get injured. This is not hosts responsibility but just mentioning it for whoever is reading this to pay att. Plenty of activities and restaurants right on Hateras Island. This was our first trip to OBX and we all had a great time! We had 3 children with us and the house was well equipped with books, tV programs and safe for them to wander without getting into any trouble (well equipment child gate on top floor and latched gates on all levels of the outside decks.) The beach itself was perfect for me and my brother, since we love swimming through the waves. The day beach area about 2 miles away was perfect for all members of our family. We must have walked out over 200 yards and water was still only up to my knees. There is an amazing water park about an hour away on route 158 which we utilized for 1 entire day. The NC Aquarium is not too far away either and nice spot to visit with family. Hope to stay again next year or whenever my family is free again! Thank you for your hospitality!

My teenage daughter, my college roommate, and her two daughters just enjoyed a lovely stay at Fiddlestix. The house was just what we wanted and needed. There was plenty of room, great outdoor spaces and in close proximity to everything we wanted to do. We watched the sunrise over the Atlantic, after a short walk to the beach and watched sunsets over the sound, after a quick bike ride. We couldn’t have asked for more! Hoping to return in the (near) future!!
