Multi-level dog-friendly home w/private hot tub, washer/dryer, gas fireplace, AC - Vacation rental home in Salvo, NC

Tucked away on Colony Drive in Salvo, this comfortable oceanfront bungalow will really put your mind at ease. Simple yet sophisticated, Idle Minds offers three bedrooms and two baths, ocean vistas, and striking interior design.

An outdoor shower comes in handy for a fast rinse after a trip to the beach, and a charcoal grille off the back deck where everybody hangs out makes cooking out fun. There are two entry points to this bungalow: one in the front, and one in the back. The front stairs lead up to a sundeck that overhangs the drive, and the back stairs lead up to a bigger sundeck with a picnic table and hot tub.

As you enter the home from the front, you might not make it past the first room as a humongous couch, flatscreen TV, Blu-ray player, and surround sound make this a premier spot to flop down and lounge the day away. A slew of board games and movies put the icing on the entertainment cake for both kids and adults alike.

Moving into the living room, a high vaulted ceiling really opens the place up. A couple of cozy chairs are ideal for reading the morning paper in, and a handsome couch and coffee table are centered around a marvelous fireplace creating an intimate setting. Just off the living room, you will find a roomy bedroom with a king bed and flatscreen TV. There is a full bathroom next to this room that is accessible from the bedroom and the living room.

As you proceed to the back of the home, there is an eight-person dining room table that looks out toward the ocean through sliding glass doors. The kitchen has all matching appliances, including a cooktop stove on the island bar with bar stools, accepting you to socialize while you prepare meals. You'll find another four-people counter height table in the breakfast nook, and back entrance leading to the sundeck and carport.

Upstairs you'll find bedrooms two and three. The second bedroom has a pyramid-style bed and is connected to bedroom three by a bathroom with a jetted tub. Bedroom three is an open loft space with a king-size bed. There is a sitting area that overlooks the living room, and the bed is tucked away in the back. Off this room, there are sliding glass doors that provide access to a second-level deck. From this deck, you can walk up one more level to the crow's nest that offers impressive ocean vistas of the pristine Salvo beaches.
