This property is a water enthusiast's dream! Bring your kiteboards, kayaks, small boats, and fishing gear; the sound access is just steps away. If the beach is more your vibe, it's just a short walk down private streets to the deeded community beach access.
Dive into fun with a massive private pool, kiddie splash zone, and a sandy playground for the little ones. Chill out in the screened Tiki bar, complete with a bubbly hot tub and built-in picnic spot. Serve up some fun with volleyball, horseshoes, and b-ball courts!
Inside, it's a beach bum's dream! Catch the latest flicks in the media room's home theater, rack 'em up in the game room with a pool table and 5-in-1 game table, or mix up some cocktails at the wet bar. Crash in style with comfy bedrooms, including a handicap-friendly king en suite with a roll-in shower and ground-level elevator access.
The top floor is where the magic happens! Whip up coastal feasts in the tricked-out kitchen with granite counters and double dishwashers. Hang in the cozy great room, or take in the killer sound views from the screened porch.
As the day winds down, soak in those jaw-dropping sunsets from the western decks. Whether you're here to relax or frolic, FROLIC INN's got you covered!

We loved this place. It was perfect for our large group..the elevator, extra fridge and the fact there is a bathroom with every room was perfect. We enjoyed the heated pool due to the cool/rainy weather. The sunset view was amazing. We would definitely stay here again!

This is a wonderful OBX property for family fun. We enjoyed walking to the sound pier to fish, and would certainly use the kayaks with more time on our next visit. We loved the thoughtfully designed pool and spa area. Perfect for kids and adults to enjoy together. There’s a beach wagon and chairs for the 10 minute walk to a gorgeous stretch of beach. Plenty of parking, a great neighborhood, comfortable beds throughout. We’ve tried a different OBX house for our annual family gathering for the past five years, and this one stands out. We’ll be back!

We loved having a pool and hot tub to use whenever we were ready. The kitchen was actually fully stocked. Everyone loved there rooms. The fact they were named was super cute. The screen in porch was amazing for our yonger kids to play and not be worried about ledges or stairs. Kevin checked on us and made sure we had a great time. We would definitely want to get this house again.

Exceptional Stay at the Outer Banks!
Frolic Inn was such an amazing place to stay. Conveniently located halfway between Kitty Hawk and Hatteras, we were able to visit Jockey’s Ridge, Wright Brothers Museum, several lighthouses and eat lots of excellent seafood. The beach was close and accessible. The boardwalk to the sound side was just across the street in a quiet residential area and we witnessed the most gorgeous sunsets while watching the kite surfers. We even took the bikes that were provided for a spin around the pretty neighborhood.The house itself was very well equipped to handle 2 of our family members in wheelchairs and my aging parents. The elevator was very helpful and bathrooms were accessible. In general, the house had everything we could want for cooking and comfort. The pool area was inviting. We paid to get the pool heated and it was a delightful temperature to swim at all hours of the day and evening. Our host, Kevin, went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and that everything was perfect for our stay.We will definitely be back for more!
