Looking for the perfect beach retreat just steps from the ocean? Welcome to this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home in the heart of Waves — only three lots from the beach with deeded access! This classic coastal cottage has been beautifully updated, featuring a FORTIFIED roof (2022), new exterior siding (2023), fresh decking (2023), new blinds, and gorgeous stranded bamboo flooring with new carpet installed in 2023. Sitting on a spacious lot, it offers tons of outdoor living. The big wraparound deck is perfect for morning coffee, afternoon sunshine, or unwinding in salty breezes. Under the home, you’ll find great storage for kayaks and boards, a picnic space, a fish-cleaning station, and a custom outdoor shower you’ll want to use every single day. Inside, the open living, dining, and kitchen area is warm, inviting, and full of beach flair. Three comfortable bedrooms and two full baths make this the ideal second home, vacation retreat, or year-round getaway. You’re right in the heart of the Tri-Village area, close to everything! Kiteboarders and windsurfers will love being minutes from the Salvo Day Use Area — soundfront beaches, picnic spots, shallow water, and steady breezes. Rodanthe Pier is just up the road for fishing and sightseeing. When hunger strikes, head over to local favorites like Good Winds and Waterman’s for fresh seafood, sunset views, and live entertainment. Don’t miss your chance to snag this incredible Waves retreat!
