About this Property
Overview
The porpoises at sunrise in the stained glass window establish the tasteful elegance that will set the tone for your entire stay. This popular Outer Banks vacation retreat, refined and thoughtfully maintained each year, is ideal for large gatherings. Relax in the expansive living area with its sweeping ocean views, enjoy the ground-level game room with ping-pong and air hockey, or curl up in a quiet corner of the deck with only a good book and the seabirds for company. Sunrises and sunsets can be enjoyed from the high vantage point of this Carolina Dunes home, and both the sound and ocean are within breezy walking distance (only 47 yards to the community beach access!). A half-court basketball court offers additional parking or an opportunity to shoot some hoops with your group. Located about two miles north of Duck Village, this property is convenient to town amenities, yet situated in a tranquil community. Rent bikes and enjoy the multi-use community path, which lines the length of Duck Road. From dawn 'til twilight and well into the night, this spacious, well-sited cottage only one lot from the ocean will refresh and revitalize. Book a stay at Porpoise Run and be welcomed to an idyllic home you'll want to make a family tradition.
