Overview

Arrive, unpack, and shift into vacation mode at Transcendence, a lavish 12-bedroom oceanfront estate in Southern Shores. Distinctive in design and exclusive in size (it is one of the largest rentals between Kill Devil Hills and Corolla in terms of bedroom count). Transcendence will be a beautiful home base for a truly special and unique beach vacation. Vintage-inspired design includes modern decor and upscale amenities, while maintaining distinct classic Outer Banks architectural elements such as a flat-top roof.

Indoors and out, Transcendence is a stunner. An expansive outdoor oasis incorporates a sunny private pool area, as well as a large covered terrace - because the best place to spend time when on vacation is outside! There is a spacious lawn, private dune top deck, ample covered space with tables and lounges, and a built-in outdoor bar.

Highlights of the interior of Transcendence include sweeping ocean views, an elevator, rec room with arcade games and pool table, an indoor bar, theater room, and twelve bedrooms (10 kings, 2 king-over-king bunksets) - an exciting feature of this home is that every single room has a private bath and deck access!

Located in town of Southern Shores, this community is popular among vacationers because of its proximity to the Wright Memorial Bridge, meaning you won't have to fight traffic to the northern beaches during high season. Two major grocery stores are about a mile away, and a fro-yo shop, seafood restaurant, pizza parlor, boutiques, and an escape room are located nearby at the Southern Shores Crossing plaza. A short drive north brings you to the quaint village of Duck.

Awful Arthur's Oyster Bar

Welcome to the home of the happy oyster where for over 40 years the oyster has been our world. The Outer Banks only authentic oyster bar is the place to enjoy sensational fare from the sea washed down with your favorite brew or cocktail. We serve by the peck, pound, and dozen, raw or steamed to perfection. Kicked back casual, down to earth friendly staff, and reasonable prices make Awful Arthur’s Oyster Bar the all-time favorite of locals and travelers alike.

The idea wasn’t to set out and establish a new concept restaurant on the Outer Banks, but that’s exactly what Awful Arthur’s owner Jo Whitehead and her late husband, Jay, accomplished more than 35 years ago when they opened the area’s first authentic oyster bar.

 

Awful Arthur’s opened in May 1984 on the Outer Banks. “We embraced the concept of an authentic copper top bar with the idea of it being a major drawing card and it still is,” explains Whitehead. “I get oysters wherever they are local. We follow the warm waters.” 

 

Just across from the ocean, in Kill Devil Hills, oyster season is year-round at Awful Arthur’s. Diners can take a seat at the copper-topped bar to observe the staff shucking oysters, served raw or steamed, along with shrimp, crab legs and clams all steamed to perfection. 

 

It’s not just the raw bar that’s earned Awful Arthur’s both local and national recognition, including being named one of America’s greatest oyster bars by Coastal Living magazine. The restaurant is a seafood-lover’s paradise, offering the freshest catches available.
