About this property

Oceanfront, Dog-Friendly House w/ Free WiFi, Ocean View, & Shared Pool

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

This top-floor, Tower Circle Duplex home, with two bedrooms, is just an easy walk to the beach and ocean. This semi-oceanfront condo has a beautiful kitchen, two well-appointed bedrooms, and a bath for those who want to come to the beach to enjoy all that it has to offer. You'll be an easy walk to Buxton Highway 12 shops and restaurants and to Fessenden Center Skate Park for the kids. A great way to have your own space and enough room for your friends or extended family is to rent Tower Bottom which occupies the same building as a separate unit with its own entrance. Whether you're here for three weeks or three days, you'll have everything you need to enjoy beach life.

Things to know:
You will be required to sign an additional lease agreement upon making a booking which will be sent to your email. You will not be able to check-in until we have received your signature electronically. Please contact us directly if you do not receive this agreement.


Please note: Guests have access to the Club Hatteras Pool Facility. Additional details around this facility will be shared in your check-in email and during the check-in process. The club is typically open Mid-May to Mid-October, depending on the weather.

Good place for a wonderfull stay at the beach

Loved the closeness the beach. Can absolute recommend the place. Wonderfull chilly which the perfect sunrise and close to places with outstanding sunset. We bought two sun umbrellas and left in the beach accesories room - so your stay at the beach is now even more comfortable.

Cute beach cottage

Comfortable, close to restaurants and shopping. Quiet and peaceful with beautiful sunrises! The blind in the living room still needs to be replaced from the June 23rd review.

Cozy

While not right on the beach, it was very close. Great views of the ocean from the deck, half shaded and half open to the sun. Just a short walk to reach the ocean. The cottage was clean and comfortable. For anyone with mobility issues, the stairs to the cottage are pretty high. The water pressure in the shower is weak. There were no pot holders in the unit but otherwise the kitchen had all we needed and we cooked fresh seafood every night. Would definitely stay here again.
Response from VrboOwner on 25 July 2025
Kathryn, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate you letting us know about the high stairs and understand how they might be challenging for guests with mobility concerns. Your comments about the weak water pressure and missing pot holders in the kitchen are also noted, and we will be sure to pass these along to our local team for attention. We’re grateful for your positive experience and look forward to hosting you again in the future!

A beach house with an amazing view

The checkin/ checkout experience was a breeze. We had a WiFi issue but it was quickly addressed. The convenience of having the beach right across the street was a good bonus especially having twin toddlers. I would have liked to have a few more kitchen essentials and a better mattress but the place was good overall. I’d stay again.

Relaxing time

Definitely give 5 stars for everything about this stay! The house was clean, linens and towels were provided along with everything you needed for washing dishes, soap, mini shampoo and conditioner along with kitchen appliance necessities! Loved that it was pet friendly but you couldn’t tell because it was so clean! The view of the beach from the porch was breathtaking and the walk was short which made it nice to go back and forth and with kids! Would definitely stay again!

Summer 24

The property was very clean and had nice amenities. It was our first time in the outer banks, and I loved being right on the beach. The house was spotless when we arrived and it was very dog friendly. It’s a little secluded from mini golf, shopping, and movie theaters when the weather is bad but that was the only drawback.

Need 4 wheel drive

Everything was perfect except there is really no road or driveway—just a path between sand dunes and unless you have a 4 wheeler drive you will get stuck. Home is beautiful and location is great

cute place by the water

I spent a few days there with my boyfriend and his mother. The view was amazing and the light of lighthouse flashes by. The only thing is there is alot of stairs and that was rough on the our oldest group member. On the upside it had everything we needed including pots and pans.

Top Tower long weekend getaway

The Top Tower was perfect for us! So close to the beach too! The house is decorated cute, it was very clean and had everything we needed. Check in and out was also a breeze. The only suggestion would be to label the parking spots. The family downstairs was a little upset that we used one of the spots which made it uncomfortable if we had to pass each other. The rate was very reasonable!

Short stay

This place was perfect for our little family. We had top floor and it was perfect. Walk to beach was perfect as well. View of ocean was amazing from the deck. The floor below us had other tenants and you could hear them very well talking or tv and their dog and when they walked the whole place shook. It was a little too close for comfort but we weren’t home much so we tried not to let it bother us.

Has Potential

We loved the location and the proximity to the beach. It's a cute little apartment style condo, with comfortable furniture and a great shower. It was clean and we loved that the beds were made on our arrival and soap was made available. Very disappointed that there was a washer and dryer advertised, but out of order and not much for cooking with, a toaster that didn't work and no oven mitts, making cooking for the family difficult. I will say, that when we were locked out of the house, we were helped pretty promptly, so very happy with Vacasa:)
Response from VrboOwner on 21 June 2023
