About this property
Waterfront 5br/5ba Home: Elevator, Pool, Private Harbor. Close to Beach.
Amazing Sunsets!
Equipped with and elevator and beautiful furnishings and modern amenities, you'll love the panoramic views of the Pamlico Sound. Best of all, the island is so narrow that you can see the beach from our balcony. It's a short quarter mile walk or bike ride or pack your coolers and chairs and park at one of the many public access areas or get your 4WD permit and drive on the beach.
The pool area includes an outdoor entertainment area with a refrigerator, ice maker, charcoal park grill and outdoor shower. Enjoy the amenities of Black Dog Harbor, including fishing pier, gazebo, and basketball hoop. Bring your boat or rent jet skis -- we have a boat ramp and boat slips. At the end of the day, enjoy spectacular sunsets while you relax in this well-equipped home, with four king size bedroom suites with attached bathrooms plus one bunk room/media room. Hang out on the expansive decks overlooking the sound with a clear view of the stars. You'll find a well-equipped kitchen, spacious dining and living rooms and plenty of room to enjoy all that the Outer Banks has to offer.
Bad Buoy accommodates up to 10 guests (maximum of 8 adults).
Linens and bath towels provided. Pool heat is available for an additional charge.
The pool is open for the 2025 season from May - until around the end of October depending on weather. Pool heat is available for $100 per night.
