A single family home provides more privacy and more room vs a condo with crowds of people all around. A home also provides social distancing from other families when compared with a condo setting, an important consideration these days. This private home is set on a half+ acre corner lot in the maritime forest of Pine Knoll Shores. The large open great room is the perfect place for family to gather, affording a beautiful view of Bogue Sound. The full wall of glass doors along the back provide exceptional water views. If you're patient, you may see dolphin swimming by! Upscale furnishings and an exceptionally relaxing atmosphere in a quiet area.

Enjoy your beach days via the community private (gate card provided) beach access, with seating and showers. There are also multiple community sound front parks close by. We enjoy going up to the sound front park right up the street to go canoeing (two canoes included with the rental, and they are located right by the floating dock launch) or sit out on the pier and watch the beautiful sunsets. What a wonderful way to end the day.

The house layout is 3/3 and single level, so no staircase for older family members to climb. Bring your older parents or grandparents, no problem. Store all of your beach toys in the garage. There is ample parking... room for up to 8 vehicles in the driveway and two parking pads.

Nicely located, you are only minutes away from all the attractions the area has to offer. Examples include Fort Macon State Park up at the inlet, only 5 miles/ the NC Aquarium at PKS only 3 miles away/ water taxis to the ponies at Shackleford Banks and to the gorgeous views atop Cape Lookout Lighthouse/ boat, jetski and kayak rentals/ nature trails (in PKS, Atlantic Beach and Fort Macon)/ bumper boats, go carts and putt putt/ shopping on the Beaufort waterfront/ parasailing/ fishing (in the surf, off the piers, or off one of the excellent charter boats on the waterfront)/AB Town Park with playground, swingsets, basketball, putt putt, splashpad, and skateboarding/Movie theatre/laser tag/pizza/grocery store and the best ice cream on the beach 2 miles away. All of these activities are only a few minutes away. Or you can bring your own boat and cruise over to Morehead, Beaufort or Cape Lookout. There are wet slips available at the local marina just five minutes up the road, as well as private (PKS) and public boat ramps close by. Or get some exercise paddling either of the two included canoes from the sound front park. If you're a golfer, the house is located right on a fairway of the Country Club of the Crystal Coast, which just received a major makeover. So bring your clubs and enjoy our beautiful golf course. There absolutely is no shortage of activities right at your doorstep. Or you can simply sit back on the deck or stone patio and watch the boats going by on the Intercoastal Waterway.

Note: I do have a security camera inside, but only in the garage, not inside the house itself. There are also two security cams outside, one in the front yard and one in the back yard. These are for security when the house is unoccupied, and are turned off whenever guests are staying.

Our beach house is a relaxing, quiet place perfect for a memorable family vacation. We love the area. Come give North Carolina's Crystal Coast and our home a try. I know you'll love it here, and you'll want to return.
