About this property

Shackleford View Beach (Pet Friendly/Private Beach)

Welcome to Shackleford View Beach, a relaxing waterfront getaway nestled in Harkers Island, where coastal charm and beautiful sound views create the perfect setting for your next escape. This inviting sound-front home offers the ideal mix of comfort, convenience, and outdoor access for families, couples, or small groups looking to experience the laid-back beauty of the Crystal Coast.
This thoughtfully designed home features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, all located on the second floor, along with the main living spaces to make the most of the stunning sound-front views. The spacious primary suite includes a comfortable king bed and a private ensuite bathroom complete with a walk-in shower, offering a peaceful retreat after a day by the water. The additional bedrooms provide flexible sleeping arrangements, making the home a great fit for multiple guests.
The living area invites you to gather, relax, and enjoy the scenery. Large windows bring in natural light and showcase the beautiful sound-front setting. The kitchen is fully equipped with black appliances and everything needed to prepare meals during your stay, whether you're cooking fresh local seafood or enjoying a simple breakfast before heading outside.
One of the standout features of this property is the private sound beach access, allowing guests to step directly onto the shoreline for kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, or simply enjoying the calm waters. The private dock offers another perfect place to spend your day—cast a fishing line or to take in a memorable sunset over the water.
On the first floor, the garage-level bonus area provides extra space to unwind, featuring a sitting area, TV, refrigerator, and a convenient additional half bath. It’s an ideal hangout area for kids, extra guests, or relaxing after a full day exploring the coast.
At Shackleford View Beach, peaceful waterfront living and easy coastal adventure come together for an unforgettable stay.

Please note that the beach has a natural shoreline with shells, rocks, and uneven areas underfoot. We recommend wearing water shoes for added comfort and safety while enjoying the water.

This property pleasantly surprised us as we did not expect this part of OBX to be so secluded and quiet, what a gem! Our family really enjoyed the accommodations, close proximity to the beach and walking distance to provisions and entertainment. Highly recommend this property as a goto for a family-friendly relaxing beach getaway.
