About this Property

  • 3 Bedrooms

Tucked away on Colony Drive in Salvo, this cozy oceanfront cottage will truly put your mind at ease. Simple yet sophisticated, Idle Minds offers three bedrooms and two baths, ocean views, and charming interior design.

An outdoor shower comes in handy for a quick rinse after a trip to the beach, and a charcoal grill off the back deck where everyone hangs out makes cooking out fun. There are two entry points to this cottage: one in the front, and one in the back. The front stairs lead up to a sundeck that overhangs the drive, and the back stairs lead up to a larger sundeck with a picnic table and hot tub.

As you enter the home from the front, you might not make it past the first room as a huge couch, flatscreen TV, Blu-ray player, and surround sound make this a premier spot to flop down and lounge the day away. A slew of board games and movies put the icing on the entertainment cake for both kids and adults alike.

Moving into the living room, a high vaulted ceiling really opens the place up. A couple of comfy chairs are perfect for reading the morning paper in, and a lovely couch and coffee table are centered around a marvelous fireplace creating an intimate setting. Just off the living room, you will find a spacious bedroom with a king bed and flatscreen TV. There is a full bathroom next to this room that is accessible from the bedroom and the living room.

As you proceed to the back of the house, there is an eight-person dining room table that looks out toward the ocean through sliding glass doors. The kitchen has all matching appliances, including a cooktop stove on the island bar with bar stools, allowing you to socialize while you prepare meals. You'll find another four-people counter height table in the breakfast nook, and back entrance leading to the sundeck and carport.

Upstairs you'll find bedrooms two and three. The second bedroom has a pyramid-style bed and is connected to bedroom three by a bathroom with a jetted tub. Bedroom three is an open loft space with a king-size bed. There is a sitting area that overlooks the living room, and the bed is tucked away in the back. Off this room, there are sliding glass doors that provide access to a second-level deck. From this deck, you can walk up one more level to the crow's nest that offers amazing ocean views of the pristine Salvo beaches.

Belinda Pleva grew up serving ice cream out of her parent’s shop. She loved being part of what she calls “a happy business.” “I love it when people come into the shop and you hand them something, and it makes them smile,” Pleva says. “That moment when you hand an ice cream cone over to a little kid and their eyes just light up. That’s what I love about the ice cream business.”

 

In 1994, Pleva opened up her own ice cream and chocolate shop, Big Buck’s Ice Cream, in the brand-new Timbuk II Shopping Center in Corolla. Business was good, but something was missing.

 

“I was never satisfied with the ingredients in the ice creams and chocolates you could purchase back then. I wanted to serve my customers delicious flavors with ingredients they could actually pronounce,” Pleva says.

 

Pleva took a trip to Italy to study the gelaterias. She fell in love with the incredible flavors, and when she returned home to the Outer Banks, she began working tirelessly to perfect the flavors in her own ice cream.

 

Big Buck’s homemade ice cream combined the flavors of the Italian gelaterias and the richness of American ice cream. It quickly became a tourist favorite. After having the same unsatisfactory experience with the readymade chocolates she was selling, she also took a trip to Brussels to learn more about making handmade chocolates. Pleva brought the chocolate-making experience right back with her, and the result was the finest quality of chocolates on the Outer Banks.

 

After her huge success in the Corolla shop, Pleva was able to open up three more shops—one in Kitty Hawk, one in Manteo and one in Duck.
