This is one of three themed rooms...we named it the Egyptian Room. With beautiful framed Egyptian art (courtesy of Aida's Egyptian heritage [she's half Egyptian and half Alabamian!]), you'll be transported half a world away while lounging in a freshly made queen-size bed. Or take a wine glass through the sliding glass door onto the porch that runs across the back of the house for views of the sunset over the sound. Your bathroom has a tub and shower with plenty of towels. NO PETS PLEASE! Newly carpeted, attractively decorated room with private ("en suite") bathroom. An elevator brings you and your gear to your room, and just outside, a hot tub and swimming pool beckon you to come on in! Lighthouses, a historic lifesaving station, water sports galore, casual coastal dining, and specialty shopping are just a few miles down the road. Come relax, recharge, and enjoy our private haven: Sunrise Over Salvo! NO PETS PLEASE! Please also note that we have two other rooms that we rent out on Airbnb (the Bruce and Cheryl Roberts Suite and the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse Room), so it is possible that you may be sharing the common area on the second floor and the large first floor with other guests....there's plenty of room to spread out! You'll have access to our pool (in season), hot tub, full size refrigerator, mini-fridge, two microwave ovens, outdoor grill, and pool table. Although we love to meet new people (and John can talk endlessly about the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse), we will interact with you as little or as much as you'd like. We are constantly working on various projects, but we're always willing to take a break. If you need privacy and solitude, we will respect your wishes. We're three lots back from the beach, and public access to the beach just a block or so away. It's a quiet residential neighborhood, with a mix of year-round residents and rental homes. There's an ice cream shop just a five minute walk from the house. You'll need a car to get most places on Hatteras Island, and we'll help you find whatever you need. We bought this house in the fall of 2017 with the idea of setting up these rooms as AirBnb, so we have tried to set them up with YOU in mind as much as possible. These are not accommodations that have been quickly thrown together; we want you to have a quality experience, and to encourage your friends and family to share Sunrise Over Salvo with us! NO PETS PLEASE!
