SUMMER SAVINGS - Oceanview Retreat with Pool, Hot Tub, Game and Media Rooms

OCEANVIEW Salvo - Bluebeard Rd. - Make LOU'S RETREAT your family's favorite beach getaway. Known by the neighbors as the “Castle house”, it’s just a five min walk from the ocean. Lou’s offers easy beach access with ample ocean and sound views. Conveniently enter the lower level after relaxing pool side or in the six-person hot tub. On the first level you'll find the game room complete with pool table, TV, wet bar, and full refrigerator. Steps away is a media room with a 50" TV and a comfy sofa to take in a flick. This lower level contains all the amenities for play and relaxing. The laundry room is also located on this level.

At the end of a full day, retreat to the mid-level three bedrooms, one pyramid bunk for the kids and a semi-private full bath, one master bedroom with a king and one master bedroom with a queen. Between all the rooms on the second-floor landing, there is a cozy private den with a sofa, a 50" TV, an armoire stocked with board games for all ages, as well as a huge collection of puzzles for a rainy-day activity, and a convenient half bath. Upstairs is home to the bright open great room where you’ll find all the necessities of home, a desktop computer, an open family room with plush couches and ample kitchen for planning all your hunger needs. The business center has a dual monitor desktop PC, in case you need to catch up on something, or just check email. You'll love the fully equipped kitchen with an island for extra seating, the laid-back open area with TV, DVD, and plenty of sitting room for the family. When the catch of the day is ready, retreat to the dining area full of sky light and take in the ocean views from the abundant windows. For a closer look, relax on one of LOU'S many sun-soaked decks on every floor. The third floor contains a master bedroom with a king, the perfect spot to catch up on sleep and recharge for another day of fun. *All TVs in the house are equipped with ROKU. For the ideal oceanside bliss, make LOU'S RETREAT your personal getaway. (Fireplace seen in pictures is not available for guest use.)

Peaceful

House is amazing. Area is very relaxing. Short walk to the beach but be prepared for climbing the dunes to get to the beach. My friend and I definitely got our steps in walking up and down all the stairs in this massive house. Great time had and the hot tub felt amazing at night after a long day.

Friends Trip

This property is the perfect place to spend a week at the beach! There is plenty of room to spread out from your family(or friends in our case) especially having two little ones with us. The house is very clean also. Loved the ammenities(pool but was too cold this week,pool table, and hot tub!) Super short drive to the drive on beach/beach access for us. Will definitely keep this house in mind for our future trips!

Great house in a nice neighborhood

Had a great stat with family. Pool was clean and cool and the neighborhood is great. Little bit of a walk to the beach but that is just because the dunes themselves are so long.

Great location

Overall the house was nice. A few things that were supposed to be fixed while we were there was the outside lighting..... no lights around the pool or in it worked, the lights on the top deck did not work either. A maintenance person came and tried to fix the lights but said someone else would have to come because it was over his pay grade and ability. The cleanliness of the house overall was okay. You were able to tell the cleaning crew only vacuumed around the furniture because there was still dirt and food from the family before all around the table and under the couches. We had a BAD problem with ants and had to keep all food that was open on the kitchen table because when they came to spray for the ants it ran them all into the pantry. I will say that the staff was very polite and sent someone right over the next day to fix complaints. Though the lighting outside never did get fixed while we were there so we were unable to use the pool at night. The mattresses were also REALLY HARD. But overall we had a GREAT time and would stay again. Will definitely bring a mattress pad to soften the beds a little.

Nice house, bad management

We were told we could check-in between 4-6, but received an email that we couldn’t check-in until we heard from them. We received that email at 4:55. The house looked clean until we walked around and my son-in-law removed his socks and it was covered in dog hair. The master bathroom shower curtain was covered in mold and mildew. The linen was not stripped off the beds, I can only assume it was from the previous customers because we did not purchase a linen package. We called house cleaning and told them all that we had found and all they could say was “so do you want your house cleaned?” No apology. On our last day, we called the realty company to see if we could have a late check-out and the gentleman we spoke with didn’t even check to see if that was possible. They had no problem checking us in late but no consideration in trying to see if a later check-out was possible. This was our first trip to the outer banks and aside from the accommodations we loved the trip.
