Overview
Ocean proximity is the highlight of this Outer Banks estate: the waves of the Atlantic are just over the dunes, so mornings can begin with a stroll along the shore or a dip in the sea. Back at the house, relax by the custom pool or take in spectacular views of the ocean and the Wright Brothers National Memorial. Indoor entertainment choices range from the recreation room to the home theater, with 17 TVs, a hot tub, a gas grill, an outdoor shower, and free high-speed wireless internet rounding out the amenities. With twelve full baths, two half baths, ten private bedroom baths, an elevator, three highchairs, and twelve parking spaces, this OBX vacation rental is set up for a multi-family group to spread out in comfort. Please note that this is a Saturday check-in home and no pets are allowed.

The Roanoke Marshes lighthouse is often one of the most overlooked of the Outer Banks lighthouses, simply because of its small stature, limited visibility and remote location tucked away at the quiet east end of the Manteo waterfront.
