New to Seaside for 2024! Oceanfront Paradise in Buxton Enjoy an unforgettable Outer Banks vacation in the heart of Buxton at this oceanfront slice of paradise. With 3 Bedrooms and 2 Bathrooms, On the Rocks has everything you need to let your worries wash away with the ocean breeze. Enjoy your very own Private Beach Walkway right out to the ocean and a bubbly Hot Tub on the wrap-around deck after a day at the beach.
You'll love the convenient location of this relaxation haven, less than 2 miles from the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse! Grab a drink and relax around the Firepit downstairs and whip up some fresh, local seafood on the Charcoal Grill before heading inside. Spend your evenings under the stars in the bubbly Hot Tub on the Wrap-Around Deck and enjoy beautiful views as you unwind on the lounge furniture and soak in the salt air!
Inside, the open-concept Living Area boasts brilliant views of the ocean as well as a Flat Screen TV that is perfect for catching up on your favorite shows as you recount the day's oceanside adventures. The Kitchen boasts modern amenities and plenty of prep space, as well as an additional Counter Bar and beautiful wooden Dining Table for enjoying meals together as a family.

Make your way back to the King Bedroom with its own TV and direct access to the deck with ocean views when you're ready to relax and rest up for another day of adventures on the Outer Banks.
Upstairs, relax in the Den with a TV and DVD Player, or step out onto the Sun Deck where an unforgettable sunrise awaits and dolphin-watching chairs help you make memories to last a lifetime. Get the kids settled into the Bunk Bedroom with 2 Bunk Bed Sets or head up to the loft with a Queen Bed and Double Futon for a little more privacy. A Full Bathroom keeps everyone comfortable.
Explore Historic Hatteras Island If you've always wanted to get away from the busiest areas of the Outer Banks but still be within easy driving distance of local restaurants, gift shops, and landmarks, Hatteras is the perfect place for you to take your next vacation! Just a few miles down the road, you can go birdwatching and explore the marshes of the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge or drive to Buxton to climb the famous Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. The anglers in your group will love being so close to Cape Point where they can try their luck reeling in a big catch. To learn more about the area's exciting history, stop by the Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station to learn about how water rescues were carried out long before modern technology. For a quick bite or tasty breakfast, drive down to the Orange Blossom Cafe for an apple ugly that's definitely worth writing home about. For dinner, try a delicious seafood meal from Pangea Tavern or a burger from Bros. There are also dozens of local shops within easy driving distance and all the fun adventures to be had in Hatteras Landing just down the road, so there is always something fun to do for the whole family.

Dream come true!
We were at this beach house for over five weeks. While it was mostly just us(my husband and I) we had our daughters visit, with grandchildren for a couple of days. The house was a perfect blend of beach, fun, and chill time.
