Description
Offered for the first time by its original owner, this classic 1980-built, second-row home has been lovingly maintained as a cherished second residence—never a vacation rental. Located just one lot over from convenient beach access, the property sits high on an elevated lot, offering breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean.
This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home features a desirable reverse floor plan, placing the main living areas upstairs to maximize the ocean views from both inside the home and out on the deck. The open layout and high ceilings create a spacious, inviting feel with plenty of room to comfortably host family and friends. After a day at the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower, complete with both hot and cold water. With original features in solid condition, the home carries a warm, nostalgic coastal feel and offers a great opportunity to either update to your own taste or to simply enjoy as-is.
Surrounded by natural vegetation, the high lot offers privacy, dune protection, and a serene coastal setting that's hard to find. Whether you're enjoying sunrise coffee with a view or walking just steps to the sand, this is the ideal beach retreat.

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI attended orientation on my own and left feeling genuinely hopeful about the school year. I loved the teacher and felt like she’d be a great fit for my daughter. One of my daughter’s closest friends was also placed in the same class, and the two of them get along so well and just work together naturally. When I came home and told my daughter, she was over the moon. She started jumping up and down, so excited not just about her friend but also to meet her new teacher.Then today, I get a call from the principal saying she is being pulled from that class. The reason? They “accidentally” placed too many kids in the room. On top of that, they brought up a conflict from last year with another student and decided it was best to move my child, not the other one.Why is my daughter the one being punished here? Why not give both kids a fresh start? Isn’t that what a new school year is supposed to be? Instead, I now have to sit her down and tell her that everything she was excited about is gone because the school made a mistake and chose to single her out.This is incredibly disappointing, and it shows a serious lack of consideration for how these decisions impact children emotionally. My daughter deserves better. All our kids do.Parent Review9mo ago - Broad Creek Middle School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughters have had the worst experience of their lives at this school. The bullying is so terrible that my daughters come home crying everyday, begging me to homeschool them. There are definitely favorites at this school. My daughters have gone to councilors, principles, etc about the bullying and they do nothing. When my daughters finally couldn't take it anymore and decided to fight back they were the ones that got suspended. The principle was stupid enough to tell me that my daughters have gone to the guidance councilor about the bullying but that the councilor was not able to speak to the students in time before my daughter finally lost it and attacked a boy that has been bullying her since day one. I hate this school and I hope it gets shut down.Parent Review2y ago - Croatan High School

Willing to assist in all aspects of registering, education, college preparation, and those who take longer to learn are all treated equally! I love the vibe with the administrators, teachers and students!Parent Review1y ago
