Have a whale of a good time on your next vacation at The Knotty Whale with water views from every window! This bright and beachy ocean-side home offers plenty of stylish comforts for the whole family, pets included! You'll have four bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, wraparound decks, and a private hot tub and pool, all just steps from the beach.

On the first floor, you'll find plenty of room to find your own private escape in one queen primary bedroom, a second queen bedroom, and a twin bunk with a trundle room. The queen and bunk bedrooms share a spacious full hallway bathroom. The kids will also love the open bonus area with an additional set of twin bunk beds. All four of these rooms open out to the first-floor deck, and all three bedrooms have TVs. The first floor is also home to the stacked washer/dryer in the hallway laundry closet and the hot tub on the beach-facing deck just outside the second queen bedroom.

But as much as you'll love the first floor, the main floor will have you hooked in no time. Wall-to-wall views of the sparkling blue waves are reflected in the fun and chic nautical style of the open living room, kitchen, and dining area. Here you can spread out but still spend plenty of time together with comfy couches around the living room fireplace, a dining table for six, and a neat island bar with seats for four. Make your way outside to the top deck for the perfect spots for dolphin watching or a cup of coffee at sunrise.

The main floor is also where you'll find a primary with a TV and a private deck. This spot is ideal for soaking up those Hatteras Island sunsets over the sound. Back on the sandy ground level, enjoy The Knotty Whale's refreshing private pool or an easy walk to the beach. An elevated outdoor shower makes rinsing off easy after a day in the sand and sea. This home is sure to be your family's new favorite vacation spot, so make a splash and book The Knotty Whale today!

House, pool, hot tub where very nice, need to remove carpet on the stairs - smells very bad. Need new pans for cooking. Unfortunately couldn’t use the beach right infront of the house because of debris from a house collapse prior to our stay but we went to another beach.

Brought my family of six to this beach home for Labor Day weekend. The home location, size, and amenities were perfect for us! We enjoyed the location and watched the sunrise each morning from the upper deck.

The home is very well laid out and convenient. Everything was very clean and, for the most part, well maintained. View of the ocean is fantastic other than some power lines and a couple of other houses. Literally a 1 minute walk to a shared, but not busy, beach. Pool and hot tub were nice on days that we just wanted to have quiet time. Also, being on a dead end road, there was very little traffic by the house. We had a very nice stay.

We loved our stay at The Knotty Whale! The house was spacious. The beach was not very crowded in early June and the hot tub and pool were great! We will be back!

The only good thing about this house was the view. All furniture, including blankets and pots and pans, are out dated and well past it's prime. All beds were extremely thin and uncomfortable. House was covered in dog hair. Outside property had trash and cigarettes all throughout. Washer and dryer were disgusting. Fridge leaked. Cable/internet constantly cut in and out or stopped working all together. I would not stay here again nor recommend.
