✨The Big Reveal… Waterwoman’s Oasis ✨
A year ago, this was simply a dream.
Today, I’m incredibly proud to share Waterwoman’s Oasis—a home built with equal parts experience, determination, and faith.
For twenty years, Kara Bolton Homes has been building homes and relationships that have shaped my life. This journey to Hatteras Island challenged me in ways I never imagined. It meant stepping into a new market, learning new building methods, earning the trust of new trade partners, and believing that one more leap of faith was worth taking.
There were moments of uncertainty, but there were also so many people who reminded me to keep going.
To my family—thank you for believing in me.
To my dear friend and adventure partner, Amariliz Gonzalez, thank you for encouraging me to dream bigger.
To my Gainesville team—Michael Hughes, Adam Geary and Kitchen Design Studios, and Rob Deese with Capital City Bank—thank you for your friendship, confidence, and support over the years. You helped make this leap of faith possible.
To my incredible Hatteras Island trade partners, thank you for welcoming me into your community and sharing your craftsmanship with this project. A special thank you to Michael Parrish and Aaron Burgess with ELS OBX and the many talented local professionals whose exceptional service, pride in their work, and commitment to quality brought Waterwoman’s Oasis to life. I am grateful to be building alongside you.
As Kara Bolton Homes celebrates 20 years of building homes on July 17th, I realize this home isn’t just another project. It represents the beginning of an exciting new chapter—one rooted in craftsmanship, adventure, and a passion for creating exceptional coastal homes.
I hope when you watch this video, you see more than beautiful finishes and coastal design. I hope you feel the heart behind every decision, every challenge overcome, and every dream that made this home possible.
If you’d like to experience Waterwoman’s Oasis for yourself, the home will be available as a vacation rental July 25 through September 19 through Village Realty OBX.
And if you’re planning to visit the Outer Banks this fall, I’d be honored to welcome you during the Outer Banks Home Builders Association Parade of Homes, October 8–10. Come tour Waterwoman’s Oasis, meet me in person, and experience firsthand what makes building on Hatteras Island so special.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the last twenty years. Your encouragement has given me the confidence to keep chasing new horizons and doing what I love most…
Build Something Beautiful. 💙
