Why the Owner Chose Ocean Sands, Section F
We already liked Corolla and felt it was a dream come true when we found The Salty Pause, it is just like the old saying, "location, location, location" Our location is on a quite cul-de-sac, with the house right on the beach with just a short 80' private sand path to the Boardwalk and another 100' over the dunes to the ocean. As if a semi-ocean front location with no roads to cross wasn't good enough, the empty ocean front lot meant we could enjoy a fantastic unobstructed view of the dunes and ocean. Beyond the location and beauty of the exterior of the house, once we saw the interior with the open airy feel of the unique 2 story octogon-shaped Great Room with the wood ceiling, we knew this was the house for us!
The Unique Benefits at this House
We enjoy the phenomenal view of the dunes and ocean from our home, whether from the decks, screened-in outside dining room, or inside from the Great Room. We are close to everything from golf and groceries (both a half mile away), 3 different shopping centers within 2 miles provides access to a multitude of restaurants, shopping, and recreation opportunities. My favorite perk while at our home is going to the local coffee shop and Lighthouse Bagels for a wonderful breakfast followed by a morning walk on the beach with Rudy. Ahh, life is good!
Entrance to 18 hole Rees Jones designed spectacular championship golf course. The Currituck Club was rated one of the "10 Best New Places You Can Play" by Golf Magazine and in May of 1999 Golf Digest
New Harris Teeter Grocery Store built in 2008 within a 0.5 mile walk from The Salty Pause. Groceries, Restaurants, Shopping, Recreation, Liquor Store, Bait and Tackle store -- virtually EVERYTHING yo
Owner's Map of Ocean Sands, Section F
We love the Outer Banks and have been coming here for years. I'm not sure who loves it more, my wife and I, or our 10 year old Lab Rudy. Rudy seems to become a puppy again in the couple of minutes it takes her to run from our home over the dunes to the ocean. Visits to our home away from home are rejuvenating for us all and I think will be for you and your family too!
