Located on the Nags Head–Manteo Causeway, this classic two-bedroom, two-bath Outer Banks beach box has expansive Roanoke Sound views from both the front and back. A private dock, screened porch, and covered deck make it easy to spend the day by the water. The simple, one-level floor plan includes a living room, dining nook, and kitchen. The primary bedroom has a private bath, and a second full bath serves the guest bedroom. Hardwood floors in the living room and bedrooms, wood wainscoting, and nautical decor give the home the charm of a traditional Outer Banks cottage. From the screened back porch, you can take in expansive Sound views while watching the sunrise, dining outdoors, or simply relaxing. At day’s end, the covered front deck provides more Sound views and another place to relax and watch the sunset. The grassy backyard leads to the private dock over the Sound, where you can fish, crab, or tie up a boat. A marina is nearby, along with Jennette’s Pier, beach access, restaurants, and shopping. This classic Outer Banks cottage is both a vacation rental and a comfortable beach getaway, with the water at the heart of it all.
