Ocean views, beach access just outside your front door, and priced below tax value, this Outer Banks opportunity doesn’t show up often at this price point. This bright, welcoming coastal cottage places you close to the Atlantic and offers water views that make mornings and evenings feel extra special. Whether you enjoy sunrise beach visits, time in the surf, or relaxing by the shoreline, the location makes it simple to enjoy the coast your way. Inside, the home offers an open, beach-inspired layout with tall ceilings, strong natural light, and comfortable gathering spaces designed for everyday living and hosting. The main level includes the primary bedroom and shared living area, while the upper level features additional bedrooms, a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, and a flexible loft space suitable for guests, hobbies, or rental use. The primary living areas feature durable vinyl flooring suited for beach conditions, with carpet upstairs for added comfort. The kitchen and dining areas support easy group meals and relaxed get-togethers after a day by the water. Multiple levels of decking provide room to spread out, enjoy the coastal breeze, and choose sun or shade throughout the day, plus an elevated lookout area with standout ocean views and memorable sunrise scenes. After time outdoors, unwind in the private hot tub for a relaxing end to the day. Located in the heart of Rodanthe near the pier, shops, dining, watersports, and the multi-use path. The property has a proven rental history with owner gross rents of $35K in 2025 and $17K already booked for 2026. An added benefit is the property’s location in the shaded X flood zone, which typically means lower flood insurance requirements compared to many oceanside homes located in the AE flood zone. If you’ve been looking for an Outer Banks investment property with proven rental performance, ocean proximity, and a hot tub, this one deserves a look. *Floor plans available upon request*
