Built in 1939, and fully renovated into a quintessential modern coastal cottage, “The Best Buoy” is the perfect place for a family vacation. With the feel of a classic Outer Banks bungalow and updated finishes throughout including quartz countertops, luxury vinyl floors, beautiful appliances, and spa-inspired bathrooms, you will feel connected to history and high-end. The open floor plan, with windows surrounding, allows for the bright beach sky to flood in. The Best Buoy is also wrapped by a screened-in porch ideal for meals al fresco or simply a shady break. Although just minutes from the ocean, the backyard offers plenty of space for entertaining. Both the pool and hot tub await splashing and relaxing. Shower off the sand in the outdoor shower and head out to one of the many local restaurants, shops, or activities conveniently nearby. Indulge in the best time at “The Best Buoy” with your favorite people.
