Welcome to Hatteras Retreat by KEES Vacations!
You will surely be enchanted by the sweet elegance and southern charm of our pet-friendly home, Hatteras Retreat! Located in Buxton, you will spend time on one of the most prized beaches of Hatteras Island near the renowned Cape Point. Discover endless opportunities for relaxation and fun at this oceanfront home.
No desire has been overlooked with all the outdoor entertainment that Hatteras Retreat has to offer! Pull up beneath the home and unload your luggage into the protected first level elevator entrance. Chill out and sip your drinks at the covered lounge area while the kids jump into the sparkling pool and splash in the inset kiddie section. The hot tub is tucked away in this private entertaining area as well. Access the beach directly through the pool gate. Two outdoor showers, foot wash, and a cabana half-bath will welcome you back from a dip in the cool ocean. Whip up some fresh local fish for the whole family on either the gas or charcoal grills.
Entering the first level of the home, you will find a custom rec room with pool table and wet bar to aid in friendly competition. A kitchenette is equipped with a full-size refrigerator, microwave and stand-alone ice machine providing easy access to drinks, snacks, and ice for the cooler. You will find two bedrooms on this level - A King bedroom with deck access, and a kid-friendly bunk room with two Pyramid Twin bunks. There is a full shared bathroom in the hallway.
Walk up to the second level of the home to find four King En Suites, three of which are oceanfront with deck access. The fourth king bedroom has access to a covered deck and handicap features such as a roll-in shower and roll-under sink.
Heading up to the third level of the home, you will be greeted by the main living area with vaulted ceilings and wall-to-wall windows to ensure unobstructed, pristine ocean views! The Master King En Suite is also on this level and features a walk-in closet, master bath with a custom tiled shower and dual vanities, vaulted ceiling, and slider to the oceanfront deck.

Prep for a family dinner in the gourmet kitchen which includes an entertainment island, dual refrigerators, dual dishwashers for easy clean-up, a 5-burner cooktop, dual wall ovens, and a microwave. When it's time to eat, sit down at the large dining table alongside a wall of windows, offering each guest a seat with a view of the panoramic Atlantic.

Property condition
The home was located close to the beach which was nice. The condition of the property was ok, but many light bulbs were burned out and the finishes inside the home were beginning to show some wear. We had a great time, but the property could use some love.

Inaccurate
The place is very out dated. The a/c and heat was inoperative on the first floor the entire stay. One bunk bed was falling apart and extremely unsafe for use. We didn't get correct sheets for the top bunks anyway so the bunk beds were useless. The kids had to sleep in parents rooms. The chairs have torn fabric and extremely worn vinyl. The pool table felt is torn and very worn. No foosballs for the table. The elevator didn't work half the time. Some of the deck railings are wobbly and unsafe. Some of the stair treads are broken. to many other issues to list.

Christmas vacation
There were a few pieces of furniture that were very well worn or material torn. Spots on some of the carpet. Nothing that hendered our stay! The home is gorgeous and location is fabulous!! Would highly recommend this property! It is perfect for a family get together or multiple families!

Family Vacay
Location was great with amazing views. The media room, pool table and hot tub were nice additions. A few constructive comments: the carpets are in terrible shape and should be replaced. They are dirty, stained and worn. The air intakes were caked with dirt and dust, as were the ceiling fans. Although the kitchen size is amazing, the sink attached to the bar needs to be secured and caulked. None of the ice makers worked in either kitchen. The biggest disappointment was the grills that were noted in the listing. They are old and rusted. There is also no propane for the gas grill. This was a big deal for our family as we preferred to grill and socialize but was not able to make that happen for our large family. We would have booked at another location had we known the grills were in such bad shape.

Built tough/safe and sound
As title says the property is newer build compared to a lot of the homes around, we had our family reunion and everyone enjoyed everything and felt safe even through Tropical Storm Debbie hammered down on us, the home was quiet even with constant winds of 50 mph and gust even higher, I’m guessing it had hurricane windows since couldn’t hear storm hardly at all.
Communication was quick in response with owners , property clean, and furnishings were nice and views were amazing from open concept living area to 5 out of 7 bedrooms ocean front with balcony access and 4 of them had en-suite.
Only thing seen needs maintenance is carpets were stained in bedrooms, tile or wood would be a great change, and few of handles on faucet were loose, and for our visit the handicap accessible shower we couldn’t get water turn on, not sure what that was, but overall it was great experience

Family get away
Had a large group of family from ages 8 months to 94 years old. House was wonderfully located and supplied everything we needed for a fantastic time! Just wish the pool was heated like the description said (visited in early May 2024). Loved our stay and hope to return soon!

Great place and getaway
Communication with the property was very good, they prompted any additional needs or next steps to make it easy as our trip approached. The house was very much as advertised, and had prior comments (couple exterior doors don’t lock), but outside of that, the views from the top floors are amazing, and the house did great during the coastal storms. We did not have any water pooling issues while most of the island did. It is a nice quick walk to the convenience stores and a number of restaurants and activities. Thanks for the stay!

Love Buxton on the beach!
We loved the location; Buxton has so much to offer, and there are several great restaurants and attractions nearby. We have been staying on the beach in Buxton for the past four years because of the fishing possibilities.
When we checked in there was an issue with cleanliness, but the management sent their supervisor to take care it. She was very apologetic and efficient. We did have to contact the office to get the key code to check in, but after those two issues were resolved quickly, everything about the house was great.

Very Disappointing
We have been renting through VRBO for the past ~ 15 years. This was our first really bad experience. I was hesitant in renting this home because of their “no cancellation” policy and also that there were no reviews, however, it was in the perfect location and we decided to go for it. Unfortunately, it was a huge mistake. This house is filthy and very run down. When I got to the top of the stairs on the main level, there was a large dead cockroach at the top. That made me wonder when the house had actually been cleaned - not likely someone would have left a dead cockroach at the top of the steps. During the stay we had encountered several other dead and alive cockroaches and ants. They offered to spray, but with my grand child (who is less than one years old) staying with us, I declined. Both dishwashers were filled with dishes when we arrived. There was hair on the floors and counters of the bathrooms. Furniture is very damaged and dirty.I had to wash 4 comforters due to pet urine. Rug in LR was full of pet urine. Many doors to outside don’t lock. Pool heater and lights don’t work. Master BR had a wall half painted in a different color. Company sent me a document to sign for $100 refund in exchange for not posting anything negative. Not what you’d expect for $10K, avoid renting with KEES until they make some serious changes.
