Welcome to 26 Pelican Watch Way in Southern Shores — a rare oceanfront gem offering the perfect blend of privacy, convenience, and sweeping Atlantic views. This spacious 4-bedroom, 3.5 bathroom home spans approximately 2,300 square feet and has never been used as a rental, serving only as a cherished second home. Ideally located just north of the Kitty Hawk Pier and only five miles from the heart of Duck, you’re close to local favorites like Shore Coffee Roasters, Steamers, Sojourn, and Duck Donuts. This home offers true privacy with separate front and rear entrances — a rare feature in the community — and is the only property in the neighborhood with a fully fenced yard and deck, ideal for pets or outdoor relaxation. A private walkway leads directly to a wide, stable beach protected by a healthy vegetated dune system, while the community pool is conveniently located just across the street. Inside, enjoy bright, warm Southern exposure throughout, thanks to large windows and sliding doors. The main living area is open and inviting with ocean views from the living, kitchen and dining rooms. The living room is enhanced by a gas fireplace and amazing water views. A covered front porch is accessible from the kitchen and is a great spot for drinking coffee or reading your favorite book. The upper-level primary suite is a true retreat, featuring tall ceilings, panoramic ocean views, and a private oceanfront deck perfect for watching unforgettable sunrises over the Atlantic. The home has been thoughtfully updated with new Mohawk carpet, new beds, new appliances, new toilets, and newer decks. The HVAC system is a high-quality Sea Coastal Series unit, installed and maintained annually by Atlantic Heating & Cooling. Additional features include two large storage closets under the house, three owner’s closets inside, easy-drain outdoor spigots and shower, hurricane shutters, hot tub and sleek cable rail deck fencing. Privacy dividers on the back decks enhance your outdoor living experience, offering added separation from neighbors. Optional membership in the Southern Shores Civic Association is available for just $70/year, granting access to a marina, soundfront park, tennis/pickleball courts, and additional private beach accesses. Oceanfront homes in Pelican Watch rarely come to market — especially those with this level of care, privacy, and upgrades. Whether you're looking for a serene second home or a future vacation rental, 26 Pelican Watch Way delivers a true Outer Banks lifestyle, where comfort meets coastal elegance.
