OCEANFRONT Hatteras — Lighthouse Rd. — New for 2024! — A dream catcher’s circular shape symbolizes the uninterrupted flow of life as the moon sets and the sun rises each day. Now close your eyes and imagine a place that inspires you to thrive to a similar cadence. Open them and find yourself at DREAM CATCHER BY THE SEA, a spectacular nine-bedroom/eight-full and two-half bath home where all of your desires for a dream vacation naturally fall into place.

Located in the walkable and bicycle-friendly Hatteras by the Sea subdivision, guests have access to all of its amenities, including a pool, nature walk, and striking beach. But you may find it hard to leave a home that serves as its own private resort. A glass block waterfall lulls the adults into the jetted spa end of a huge private pool, while the shallow tanning ledge at the other end entices the younger set to make a splash of their own. Rinse off in the outdoor shower after practicing your complimentary throws on the driveway basketball hoop and claim a seat at the shaded poolside bar while you sync up some tunes. Food to go with those drinks? Yes, please, thanks to the poolside gas grille and a full kitchenette with a refrigerator, sink, and microwave located in the adjacent game room. Here you will also find a pool table, foosball table, and a wall-mounted Intelligent TV. Microwave some popcorn and settle in next door, where a 16-seat home theater features a 110” screen and surround sound. Also on this level are a king and queen master bedroom.

Take the elevator to level two and discover five more bedrooms. There are two king master bedrooms with access to an oceanfront deck; one bedroom with two pyramid bunk beds; one with two single beds and another king bedroom with deck access. The laundry room is located on this level as are two full hallway baths, one that features a roll-in shower making it accessible-friendly. A 6-person hot tub on the oceanside deck invites all to savor a relaxing soak to a serenade of ocean waves. Another king master with a jetted tub and private deck access is located on the third level. The final bedroom, a sizable king master suite with a jetted tub and private oceanfront deck is located on the fourth level and is connected to an executive office suite to keep your work/life balance in check. All of the bedrooms feature Intelligent TVs.

It’s on the third level where you'll find the reason everybody is drawn to the spectacular great room —with its impressive ocean vistas revealed from floor-to-ceiling picture windows and a furnished deck that extends the length of the home. There’s room for more than one prepare in the cavernous and freshly reimagined gourmet kitchen featuring two of everything: oven, stove, microwave, sink, dishwasher, refrigerator, and where a six-seat breakfast bar attracts early risers for that first cup of coffee. Make it a group affair and prepare a feast that can be served at two eight-seat dining areas. After dinner, pull a cold one from the wine cooler in the bar area and wind down the evening at the card table in the sunroom, snuggled on the couch in front of the Intelligent TV or on the deck as the stars take over the nighttime sky. Sound like a dream? DREAM CATCHER BY THE SEA can be a reality by booking it now.

New for 2024: All new LVP floor in bedrooms. New pool area loungers. 3 new Intelligent TVs. New for 2023: New great room furnishings. New for 2022: New kitchen.

The following items are available at all Surf or Sound Realty properties, even though they are not listed individually: Central Air/Heat, Washer/Dryer, Fridge, Dishwasher, Microwave, TV, Standard Coffee Maker, Toaster, and Outdoor Grille.

Jimmy's Seafood Buffet

Home of the Crab Leg & Lobster Buffet for over 24 years! Jimmy’s Seafood Buffet is a great stop for an all you can eat affordable dinner extravaganza. The buffet offers over 100 different items. It even serves Jumbo Alaskan crab legs and Jumbo steamed shrimp, something you will not find on any other buffet in the OBX. The buffet offers a variety of seafood and non seafood options. Try some of Jimmy’s seafood options and load your plate with blackened tuna, Louisiana crawfish, steamed scallops and mussels, fried oysters and deviled crabs. Not in the mood for seafood? Fill your plate with steak, pineapple glazed ham, fried chicken, BBQ ribs, and fettuccini Alfredo to name a few. The buffet also offers a kid section. Let your kids load their plates with chicken tenders, mac and cheese, and corn dog nuggets. Don’t forget dessert! The buffet also offers soft serve ice cream and a plethora of baked goods. 

 

It’s been 22 years since Jimmy’s Seafood Buffet opened its doors for the first time. Since that inaugural summer, the goal has remained the same: provide customers with a tasty, fresh array of seafood full of Caribbean flavor.

 

Elizabeth Dowless and her husband Jerry had always worked in restaurants in the Outer Banks, so when the opportunity to open Jimmy’s Seafood Buffet with a couple of friends arose, it was an easy yes. The Dowlesses bought out the business in 2003, excited to turn Jimmy’s into an Outer Banks staple. When Jerry passed away later that year, Dowless knew she wanted to continue pursuing their dream on her own.

 

Dowless went all in on the concept of a fresh, flavorful seafood buffet and her hard work paid off. Jimmy’s Seafood Buffet is a beloved fixture of Outer Banks dining, with customers returning year after year for the fresh fare.

 

“Customers keep in contact with me throughout the winter. I get people every day asking me when we’re opening for the season, and customers book their vacations around our opening,” Dowless says. “I absolutely love getting to see familiar faces come back to see us each year. I love seeing them lose their minds over the buffet! Their excitement is what I love most about my job.”
