Sound- & ocean-view home with private pool, hot tub & movie room - dog-friendly
Welcome to 3's a Charm, where the ocean, the sound, and this elegant beach home come together for you to make the memories of a lifetime. Located in historic Hatteras Village, 3's a Charm is mere steps away from both the pristine beaches of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and the Pamlico Sound, creating one spectacular setting that ensures you and your guests will have the best of both worlds.
A long paved drive allows for plenty of parking with an additional two to three spots underneath the home. Here, you'll also find storage space for beach equipment, an outdoor shower, and access to the pool area. The house has an elevator that runs from the carport to the top level. A volleyball court in the backyard rests between the pool area and the sound. There are three levels of furnished decks, all of which offer magnificent views in all directions. The hot tub sits on the first-level deck overlooking the pool area.
3's a Charm hosts six primary bedrooms, each bedroom has a DVD-capable television. Bedroom number one is on the first level with a TV and access to the first-level deck leading to the pool area. Across the hall is a movie room with a library of DVDs and plush, comfortable furniture. Next to that, you'll find a pub-style pool room with a wet bar, a sink, a full fridge, a TV, and sliding doors that lead to the deck.
The second level of the home contains four bedrooms. All of the rooms are spacious and carry their own individual beach flare. Rooms two and three have TVs and ocean views, and the next two have TVs and sliding doors that access the second-level deck.
Reaching the top level, you'll find a modern kitchen and living area full of sophistication. Imagine preparing breakfast as the sun rises over the ocean in front of you, only to turn around and make dinner with the sunset spanning the sound-side horizon. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, brand-new countertops, a four-person breakfast bar, and a ten-person dining room table. The final bedroom is just off the kitchen and has a jetted tub, a stand-up shower, and access to the sundeck. Panoramic views of the sunrises and sunsets truly put the cherry on top of 3's a Charm.
3's a Charm is unique in that it sits within a hundred yards of both the Atlantic Ocean and the Pamlico Sound. For vacationers, this provides the perfect dynamic of flexibility between sunbathing on the beach and watersports on the sound.

Return visit
Great return visit to 3s a charm. Great views of ocean and sound. Elevator is helpful though a little quirky. Good kitchen for cooking. Great hot tub. Pool table is a little rough. Rent a kayak and play in the sound!

3s A Charm
We loved the space, the amount of bathrooms, the pool and the jacuzzi. The view of both the bay and ocean side from the house was amazing. House was conveniently located in close proximity to stores and shops. The house is in dire need of updates all around though. It would have been 4 stars otherwise.

Huge house and great location
First off the house was super clean, and we were welcome with a gift basket which was lovely. The location is amazing. Ocean on one side and the sound on the other. Even though neighbors are close and there was construction going on around us we couldn’t hear any of it. Fishing at the sound was fun but watch out for snakes. Having an elevator was great and it worked perfectly. Thanks for sharing your home.

The location and distance to the beach is great !
Great location!! Needs some TLC, We lost power the first night due to rain water getting into the rusted panel box. Exhaust fans for all the bathrooms on the 2nd and 3rd floor don't work. Lack of kitchen items. Place only has 5 forks. All the rooms were a decent size, however the beds! 2 of the 7 beds were comfortable the rest were extremely uncomfortable. listing says 2 queens but one is a full. Our group really wanted to love this house. Oh and the elevator never worked for us.
First trip to the Outer Banks & was looking for somewhere with a beautiful view -3’s a charm did not disappoint! The house had plenty of space for just the 3 of us. In addition to all bedrooms/ bathrooms there was common space including a 2nd tv and game room-the pool table has seen better days, but had a ping pong table top & another refrigerator tv-useful with a bigger crowd. Couldn’t figure out karaoke but WiFi worked. The windows do need some love but you can see out them&there was light in the rooms. From the deck listen to waves & watch kite surfers on the sound! Across the St is a large but manageable dune to climb to a long stretch of beach. The house was clean & comms w/ Vacasa mgt was great. Few questions no issues short 4 day stay -responses were timely & welcoming. One wobbly fan but the rest were fine& ac made it comfortable. The decor was tasteful. The pool (April not heated) needed a little debris cleaning but no matter the view of the Sound is beautiful Didnt use the jacuzzi. Kitchen well stocked & laundry made things easy. Lots of stairs elevator was tricky but useful for those w/mobility issues or lots of stuff. Great location! Hatteras village 5min drive Breakwater for sunset dinner, Frisco just 10 min other direction with beautiful art shop Blue Lagoon, Beads boutique & Tavern on 12.The only thing missing was a pen to write in the guest book but nice lady at Scotch Bonnet fudge (so good) gave me one which I left in the guest book for you.

Awesome location
The house is located a short walk from the beach, in the front and the sound view in the back. Awesome location. We did have an awesome time.
CONS:
The beds were not comfortable, and the elevator did not work when we arrived, we called and customer support really did not seem to be too concerned, they told us it was after 5 did we need someone to come an look. I told them yes, or send someone to carry my luggage 4 levels of stairs. The person they sent to look at the elevator came, and it worked 1 time after he left. I sent an email on Saturday and heard nothing and finally called back Sunday and they sent another guy out and he was outstanding! The elevator was throwing some type of code, 346, and he reset the system, and tested the elevator and let us know that it would not go to the ground level. So, I am sure it was a known fact that this elevator did not work as one might think. There is a locked door on the bottom level, with no way to access the elevator from there. It would work as long as you did not attempt to go to the ground level, so why wasn't this explained before booking the house? If you have a handicapped person with you and need a elevator this is not the house for you, because the elevator is non workable from the ground level. If you advertise a home with an elevator, for 4 floors, then it should work, that is why we selected this house.

Great home for multiple couples
We loved the fact that there were 5 BRs (3 King, 2 Queen) each with their own bathrooms, so there was plenty of privacy and space for all of us adults. The house has a few quirks with some amenities, but structurally it was perfect.
We had a wonderful stay! The location couldn’t be better—right across from the beach. Every morning we enjoyed watching dolphins and pelicans from the crow’s nest, which was such a special way to start the day. The house offered plenty of space for our big family to spread out comfortably.That said, a few updates would make the stay even better. Some finishes are showing their age, the shower curtain liners could use replacing, and several dining room chairs are split at the seams. Just a handful of small details that could use some attention.Overall, though, the space and location made for a great visit, and we truly enjoyed our time there.
The house was beautiful and perfect location for what we wanted and was looking for! Watching the dolphins every morning and evening was amazing not to mention the jellyfish and stingray on the beach! It was more then what we was hoping for thank you so much for allowing us to make family memories we are already planning our trip for next year!!!

Surf and sound
The house is in a beautiful location with the sound behind and the ocean in front. The pool and hot tub are an added bonus. Very nice when the beach is too windy. The house is a little dated and need some basic upgrades and repairs made. Overall it is a great house and location for those looking for a quiet beach experience.
We stayed at 3's a charm with a group of 12 adults. The place was very clean and exactly as described. Beautiful views from just about anywhere in the house. Plenty of room for the three vehicles we had. We all enjoyed our stay very much!enjoyed our

Exactly what we were looking for!
With water in sight from each of the windows and the beach feeling like it was private (it wasn’t but we were the only ones out there), it was the perfect quiet relaxing family getaway ❤️

Best of both worlds!
The access to the sound side as well as the beach was great! The house is closer to the beach than most oceanfront homes.
