Certain private pools offer free heat. During times of extremely low temperature or high wind, pools may not heat to what tenant believes to be an acceptable temperature. No refund will be given due to adverse weather conditions. Pool heat requested on check-in day or later will result in an additional convenience fee.
-
Hot Tub
These homes feature private (or, in the case of Atlantic View Estates properties, community) hot tubs. Tubs are cleaned and sanitized before each rental. A great way to take the "off season" chill away. As used on our web site, Hot Tub does not mean the traditional wooden tubs found in many mountain ski resorts; in other areas, our Hot Tubs might be called Spas. Most of them are located outside on a deck or poolside; a select few are inside the home and/or adjacent or even built in to the pool. A Jacuzzi is not a Hot Tub; it is a trademark bathtub, in many shapes and sizes, typically found in the bathroom (although a select few homes in our program may have the Jacuzzi inside the master bedroom).
-
Elevator
Elevators do not ensure handicap accessibility.

Description
Big sound views and laid-back island vibes set the tone at Bad Buoy, a stunning soundfront retreat in Salvo that was made for unforgettable Hatteras Island escapes. Overlooking the shimmering waters of the Pamlico Sound, this beautifully appointed home pairs coastal charm with thoughtful conveniences, including an elevator for effortless access to every level and a private pool perfect for sun-soaked afternoons. Whether you’re chasing sunsets over the water or simply soaking in the salty breeze, Bad Buoy delivers the ideal backdrop for relaxation, recreation, and memory-making by the sound.
The first floor is thoughtfully designed for comfort and privacy, hosting four inviting bedrooms that make restful nights a breeze. Three spacious king en suites offer serene retreats complete with private baths, creating the perfect setup for multiple couples or guests who appreciate a little extra space to unwind. A fourth bedroom featuring a single over queen pyramid bunk set adds flexible sleeping arrangements ideal for kids, teens, or small families, ensuring everyone has a cozy place to recharge after full days spent enjoying the soundfront. All bedrooms throughout provide their own TV for optimal comfort, while a laundry room is centrally located at the base of the steps for everyone’s convenience.
The second floor serves as the heart of the home, where an airy and open kitchen, dining, and living area invites everyone to gather in style. High ceilings and a calming coastal color palette create a light, breezy ambiance, while expansive windows flood the space with natural light and frame captivating views of the sound. The final bedroom, a private king en suite, is also located on this level, offering a peaceful retreat just steps from the main living space. Step outside onto the sundeck to take in sweeping water views, savor sunset skies, and enjoy the gentle island breeze from this elevated vantage point.
Outdoor living shines at this soundfront escape, where a private pool takes center stage, uniquely designed with a portion tucked beneath the house to provide welcome partial shade during those high-heat island afternoons. Lounge poolside with panoramic sound views, unwind in the private hot tub as the sun dips toward the horizon, or rinse off sandy toes in the convenient enclosed outdoor shower after a day on the water. A bar area complete with a sink sets the scene for effortless outdoor entertaining, making it easy to mix up refreshing drinks, serve poolside snacks, and savor every salty breeze in true Hatteras Island style.
From sunrise reflections on the water to fiery sunset skies over the sound, every moment at Bad Buoy feels effortlessly unforgettable. Gather your crew, settle into island time, and let this Salvo soundfront retreat be the backdrop for your next Hatteras Island escape.
