SEMI-OCEANFRONT Hatteras — Lighthouse Rd. — Top Level Renovated for 2025! — When your extended family or forever friends gather at CAROLINA BLISS, you’ll discover an enviable escape that enthralls from each glorious sunrise and sunset to the next. With sweeping oceanside views, unobstructed backyard views from its perch on a tranquil duck pond, this 6,700 sq. ft., 10-bedroom/10-full and 2-half-bath home offers both a private enclave and a prime point to launch your Hatteras Island vacation.

Of course, languid beach days, fishing excursions and island explorations will be on the itinerary, but so should days spent by the ground level pool. Settle into a lounge with a good book or in the eight-person hot tub for a soothing soak. Two gas grills will certainly inspire some poolside picnics, complemented by refreshment from the adjacent tiki bar. Just inside, discover another wet bar/kitchenette in a recreation area that will delight all ages. There’s a billiards table and a shuffleboard table for the competitors among you and a media area with theater-style seating and a large Smart Roku TV to stream your favorite movies. There’s also a laundry room and half-bath on this level. Completing the ground level are two master bedrooms with ensuite baths: a two-set pyramid bunk room and a room providing a queen and single.

Six more master bedrooms occupy the mid-level, all with private bathrooms and Smart Roku TVs including a two-set pyramid bunk room and five king bedrooms, one of which offers an accessible-friendly bathroom. All of the bedrooms have access to the deck for either pool or ocean views. A separate office area features a slider to a deck that allows natural light to enhance a productive remote workstation.

On the third level — accessible by a convenient elevator — the great room’s high ceilings, hardwood floors and multiple windows infuse the space with a warm casual elegance and natural light. Plentiful and comfortable seating provides an inviting retreat to play games and entertain with a large flat screen TV. A spacious and well-appointed kitchen features granite counters and stainless-steel appliances, including dual refrigerators and two stoves to accommodate cooking for a crowd. Counter stools surround a breakfast bar, adding extra seating for full-family meals that can be enjoyed together around two 10-seat dining tables. Two more spacious master king bedrooms, each with deck access and spectacular ocean views, along with a half-bath, complete this level.

Just a few steps up is an upper loft that offers a quiet retreat to read a book or take in the panoramic views from the marshlands toward the sound.

Whether you're taking in the sweeping oceanside landscape or tranquil sound side, these are the views that will leave you in a state of bliss — CAROLINA BLISS — a feeling you can reserve forever by booking it today.
