Waterfront home with amazing sound view, private pool, hot tub, & game room

New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests.

Sound-front Heaven's Gate is 7,000 square feet of pure vacation pleasure. Considering every bedroom is a primary and you'll have a plethora of full bathrooms, as well as half-baths, you're guaranteed a blissful trip. Here in Kinnakeet Shores, you'll have easy access to the sound for all watersports, a community pool, and tennis. The home sits on two lots for an unobstructed view, ideal for watersports and beach fun. Everyone can relax on the private white sand beach with a firepit and two kayaks, ideal for volleyball, windsurfing, or just relaxing for the day! The top level has a gorgeous 360-degree view of the sound, marsh, ocean, and the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse.

This upscale house has been designed, built, and decorated for multiple families. The ground level has good parking, two carports, and access to a saltwater waterfront pool with a built-in waterfall, a tropical bar, and plenty of outdoor furniture on the sundeck. There's even elevator access to all levels of the home. For 2022, all bedrooms are equipped with 39-inch smart Roku TVs and the main living area is equipped with a 65-inch smart Roku TV.

The first living level has a huge waterfront game room with a pool table, a new 65-inch Roku TV, a full entertainment system, a half bath, and seamless access to the pool. On top of that, there is a workout station that includes a stationary bike and a treadmill for those who want to get a good workout in. The first main bedroom has a TV and a full bath. The full kitchen on this floor features a dishwasher, stove, refrigerator with an ice maker, microwave, and seating for everyone.

The second floor opens with a full-size laundry room and a second main bedroom with a full bath and a TV. Sound-front main bedrooms three, four, and five have deck access, TVs, and full bathrooms. The sixth bedroom features a TV, deck access, and a handicap-accessible bathroom.

The third level opens with a top-of-the-line sunken theater room for 19 with Netflix access and a nearby half-bath. Main bedroom seven has a TV and a full bath. Sound-front main bedroom eight has a TV, deck access, and a full bath as well. Sound-front main bedroom nine offers deck access, a TV, and a lovely bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub. All rooms are close to a large, sound-front den/media room with French doors and deck access.

On the fourth floor, you'll find the final main bedroom, featuring a full bath and a TV. The great room on this floor has tall ceilings, a mile of sound-front glass, a new 65-inch Roku TV, and a huge furnished sundeck. Bring a camera, because the views of the sunsets, sound, and natural wetlands are extraordinary. With warm hardwood flooring, a fantastic entertainment system with a TV, a fireplace, upscale resort furnishings, a game table, and a wet bar, Heaven's Gate will win over even the most jaded guests. A professional-quality kitchen with granite countertops and a granite island will provide the perfect canvas for multiple chefs to work their culinary magic. A gas grill is available as well, and double water view dining tables will seat famished family members and guests.

For the vacation of a lifetime, come to Heaven's Gate.

This truly is Heaven's Gate

We had an incredible 5-day stay at this beautiful home in the Outer Banks with 20 family members, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The house is spacious, with four levels of living space that gave everyone plenty of room to spread out and relax. It’s located right on the sound, and the shallow water was ideal for the younger kids to safely splash and play. We also made great use of the kayaks!The kitchen was impressively well-equipped—everything we needed and more. The private pool and hot tub were definite highlights, and although it was too windy to use the grill during our stay, it didn’t take away from the experience. The home was spotless upon arrival, which we really appreciated.The location was also super convenient. A grocery store was right outside the neighborhood, and there were two basketball courts nearby that the kids (and adults!) really enjoyed.All in all, it was an awesome family getaway, and we would absolutely love to stay here again. Highly recommend!

Breathtaking view

The sound view from this property is amazing! It was very spacious and was the perfect spot for our large family gathering. Walking to the ocean side is not really an option for most people. But it is just a short drive away. The kitchen was well stocked making it easy to prepare meals for a large group. Enjoyed the theater. Spent a lot of time in the pool & hot tub. Had a great vacation here. The name Heaven’s Gate is very appropriate!
