Tucked away on the shore of Hatteras Island, this 4 bedroom, 2 bath coastal retreat offers the perfect blend of laid-back island living and strong investment performance. Spend your mornings watching the sunrise from the deck and your evenings unwinding in the hot tub after a full day of beachside living. Conveniently located just minutes from local favorites, you’re a short drive to the shops, dining, and fishing access in Rodanthe, with easy access to nearby villages like Waves and Salvo. Whether it’s grabbing dinner, launching a fishing trip, or exploring the shoreline, everything you (and your guests) need is close by, while still maintaining that peaceful, away-from-it-all feel. Inside, the flexible lower level offers space for a game room, second living area, or office, ideal for maximizing guest experience and rental appeal. Multiple covered decks, amazing oceanfront views, an outdoor shower, and inviting indoor-outdoor flow make this home a favorite for repeat visitors. With a proven rental history of $79,000 in 2024 and $65,000 in 2025, plus $44,000 already booked for 2026, this property offers both immediate income and continued potential. Recent updates include plumbing (2019), LVP flooring throughout (2021), hot tub and partial deck replacement (2023), and exterior HVAC units, stove, dishwasher, and upstairs slider (2024)—meaning less upfront work and more time enjoying the investment. **** Property is located in a high erosion area and may be subject to ocean overwash, which could impact rebuildability.
