About this property

The Skipper: Oceanside & Steps from the Ocean!

Welcome to Buxton Cottage - The Skipper.

The antithesis of modern day Hatteras Island. Come enjoy this cozy 1950’s beach cottage freshly updated with all the modern amenities. This two bedroom, one bath getaway will cater to all your needs - and just steps from the ocean.

The Skipper has two bedrooms, one bath, kitchen fully equipped, TV, internet, Wi-Fi, all linens are provided (4 bath towels and each bed has 1 set of sheets), complimentary items such as one roll of toilet paper, coffee filters and trash bags. Puzzles, cards. Parking and outside seating on the balcony. Outdoor Shower with sink!

Relax at the heart of the island. Buxton is centrally located between all of the best spots to kiteboard, wind surf, fish, beach access, surf, paddleboard, walk, hike, and bike. Just few minutes’ drive to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and beaches. You can walk to the Lighthouse beaches, and restaurants. Everything is within walking or biking distance.

Just 1.8 miles from one of the premier kiteboarding locations, Kite Point. Buxton Cottage is 10 lots in from the Atlantic Ocean. Walk to the ocean and enjoy your morning cup of coffee while watching the sunrise... Then enjoy 6.8 miles down winders from Kite Point to North Avon pull out. Or even further if you’d like! We are sure this beach cottage will meet all your getaway needs!
