Located just down the beach road, this Outer Banks hot spot offers excellent pier fishing opportunities, as well as a restaurant, oceanfront bar, live music, and stellar sightseeing. For a day of outdoor adventure, take a five-minute drive to the south to Jockey's Ridge State Park. Strolling along one of the nature trails that wind through the sand dunes is a great way to witness area wildlife, and a hike to the very top of the ridge is an excellent spot to take a hang gliding lesson—or to catch one of the stunning sunsets that take place as the sun slips into the shallow waters of the Roanoke Sound to the west.

A refund is not available in cases of mechanical breakdown or cleaning complaints. Refunds are only available in cases where the home is not habitable. As long as the home is accessible and has water and power there will be no refund. We do our best to identify potential issues prior to a guest's arrival, however there are occasions when amenities, features, or appliances may break in our vacation rental homes. We will address the issue as quickly as possible, however, due to our remote location, repairs generally take longer than in larger cities/towns, especially if parts must be ordered and shipped. If repairs cannot be expedited, we will do our best to provide an alternate solution. For example, if the fridge stops cooling we will provide a loaner fridge, if the AC stops cooling on a level we will provide window AC's, etc. Moving to another home is not an option as each home is individually owned and the lease you are required to sign before your reservation is confirmed (which also states refunds aren't available) is for the specific home you selected. By renting this home you are agreeing to these terms and conditions. The Outer Banks is a remote location with natural surroundings. Therefore, some pests, including Palmetto Bugs and midges, are common to the area and may be found inside homes.
