OVERVIEW

Dog-friendly home steps from beach with yard, multiple decks, and arcade game

New in our program, this home has many great reviews from past guests.

Your own slice of Outer Banks paradise awaits at this family- and dog-friendly home, just minutes from the beach. With an unbeatable central location, you can step out the front door and walk to several nearby restaurants, or hop in the car for a quick drive north to Jockey's Ridge State Park or the Wright Brothers National Memorial, both about 30 miles away. Head south along the Cape Hatteras National Seashore to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, a little over 20 miles away, with miles of glorious beach along the way. There are lots of watersport opportunities nearby as well.

At home, start the day with coffee and a glorious sunrise view from the top-level observation deck, then head downstairs to the swing on the screened porch for some quiet time before the day gets started. Multiple decks on each level, plus a large yard ideal for the kids and family dog to play, round out your outdoor space.

Inside, you'll find two levels of living space with comfortable coastal decor and plenty of room to spread out. The recently updated main living area features new flooring, new furniture, and a modern, well-equipped kitchen, with a full suite of stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, lots of cabinet space, and all the cookware you'll need to turn out family feasts - or just snacks for the beach. Grab a bite at the window-front dining tables on either level, then slip into your swimsuit and head for the beach.

When you return, rinse off the sand in the outdoor shower and toss the day's clothes in the washer/dryer for a quick refresh. If you've spent the day fishing, a convenient fish-cleaning table on the patio makes meal prep a breeze. Spend downtime at home in the comfy living room or den upstairs, with entertainment options including four TVs, free WiFi and cable, board games, and a tabletop retro arcade game machine featuring favorites like Donkey Kong and Pac-Man. Three well-appointed bedrooms promise a restful night's sleep, but not before one more visit to the observation deck for a nighttime toast under the stars to booking the perfect OBX retreat.
