The space Still Waters Awe-inspiring ocean views await at this charming, cedar-shingled seaside cottage in the Outer Banks. Open the blinds or the double doors while brewing a pot of coffee and take a seat in the rocking chair on your oceanfront deck to catch the sunrise with the sound of breaking waves and seagulls. If you’ve brought the family pup to this dog-friendly home, a walk on the beach might be in order followed by rinsing the sand from their paws using the outdoor shower. Head back inside as the rest of your group wakes up and starts preparing breakfast. You’ve got a full suite of appliances, ample counter space, and all the quality cookware and gadgets you need to make a quick breakfast or a full buffet. When it’s time to eat, grab a seat at one of the two dining tables or the breakfast bar inside, or slide those double doors open and sit on the upper deck with the salty breeze in your hair. Stow the dishes in the dishwasher and head out to explore the Outer Banks, or just make your way to the beach for a lazy day on the sand. In the evening, the top floor offers a comfortable seating area, a large TV with cable, and ample space for everyone to relax, build a puzzle, or play one of the many games available. The lighted outdoor lower level offers an area for grilling, digging in the sand, playing corn hole, or having fun on the rope swing. On the first floor, you’ll find all four bedrooms. The main suite, the Captain’s Room, offers ocean views from your King bed, a TV, an en suite bathroom, and your own slider to the lower deck. The second ocean view room, the Skipper’s Room, features a Queen bed, flatscreen TV, and en suite bathroom with your own deck access. Additionally, the other Skipper’s Room features a comfy Queen with beach sandpiper decor. Lastly, the final bedroom, the Pirate’s Room, offers a pair of twin beds in a Pirate-themed bedroom with a flatscreen TV as well. As you settle in for the night, end the day as you began, on either of your lovely decks, this time watching the stars rise over the ocean. Don’t stay up too late though - you don’t want to miss that sunrise. THINGS TO KNOW There is a pirate-themed kids bedroom with a trunk of toys available.
