About This Home

As of May 2026

This 8 bedroom 8.5 bath home has everything you need for a perfect vacation or for a perfect vacation rental investment. Over 100k in income ALREADY PRE-BOOKED for 2026 and still lots of room for more! The semi-oceanfront location, right next to a direct beach access, makes walking to the beach a breeze. The open and bright top floor with it's abundant windows, cathedral ceilings and wraparound decking, showcases the impressive ocean views from nearly every angle. It's like you get the views from an oceanfront home but with the reduced risk of being one row back! Hardwood floors, real wood doors, wood cabinetry and wide hallways speak to the quality of the design and build. The kitchen opens to the living and dining space and the smart kitchen layout includes TWO dishwashers, large island with ample seating and who doesn't love a wine chiller? The kitchen flows into the large dining space that is surrounded by views of the ocean and dunes. The living space is centered around the wall of east-facing windows, making for beautiful views from the main space. Step out onto the top-level decking that spans around the east, south and west sides of the home, and see if you can spot the majestic wild horses that roam this most gorgeous and unique area of the Outer Banks. Back inside, two primary bedrooms with their own en-suites are on this level, with the largest one having ocean views and deck access. The mid-level continues on with the wide hallways, open space and real wood doors. This level features 4 more primary bedrooms with en-suites, and 2 of them are ocean-facing with views. All of them have access out to the covered decks. Laundry and a separate sitting area are on this level also. The ground floor includes the quintessential OBX game room with pool table and wet bar and separate theatre room. Finally, there's another primary bedroom with en suite, an additional bedroom and another full bath (shared with the bedroom and the main space.) Rented solidly for the past few years, with approx $120k in booked income for 2025. And almost 90k already pre-booked for 2026. Located in the X-flood zone, so flood insurance is not required!

Listing Details

  • Directions: If GPS routes you to turn left to go behind the dune when you're still south of the house, ignore it. There's a direct beach access turn off just north of the house, called Eagle Lane. That is the easier access to use than to go behind the dunes on the side roads. Once you take that left over the dune, you'll see the house in front of you and slightly to the left.
