The spacious Living Area invites you to kick back with a movie on the large flat-screen TV, while the Dining Table sets the stage for board games, puzzles, or afternoon snacks after a dip in the pool. A Kitchen* makes it easy to mix up drinks or prepare light bites (please note: oven and cooktop are not available for guest use).

A full Bathroom with a beautifully tiled shower ensures convenience and comfort, while upstairs, a Queen Bedroom awaits with cozy furnishings (please note: the bedroom is open at the top of the stairs and does not have a door). Step out onto the private Deck to enjoy beautiful views of the pool and surrounding scenery, the perfect spot for a quiet morning coffee or an evening cocktail.

With its thoughtful design and flexible layout, the Pool House is the ideal complement to Roanoke Island Retreat—offering the extra space your group needs while keeping everyone close to the fun.
