Two Steps to the Beach

About Barbara or John O'Leary

We purchased our place at the beach in 1988. We used to live in Jacksonville, NC and came to the beach frequently. Even though we moved to Virginia, we always wanted to be able to go to the beach and do it whenever we felt like it. That is why we bought here. We have tried to make our beach home a pleasant and relaxing place to be in. Please e-mail us with any questions that you may have. If you visit the Southern Outer banks (SOBX), we are sure that you will enjoy it and look forward to vacationing here again.

Why Barbara or John O'Leary chose Pine Knoll Shores

The towns of North Carolina’s Crystal Coast have a charm all their own, and something to offer everyone. Our 'little piece of heaven' is located in the Southern Outer Banks, in the town of Pine Knoll Shores. Its location in between Atlantic Beach and Emerald Isle offers vacationers the unspoiled beauty of the pristine beaches while still being in close proximity to an array of boating and fishing activities, shopping, and dining in restaurants specializing in fresh local seafood. The rich history of the area is evident whether you are strolling the streets of Beaufort, the third oldest city in North Carolina, exploring the grounds of Fort Macon National Park or scuba diving the Graveyard of the Atlantic in search of Blackbeard's famous ship 'Queen Anne's Revenge'.

What makes this Condo unique

Our three bedroom, 2-1/2 bath unit offers you everything you need for a perfect family vacation get-a-way. Ocean Glen is a small, quiet, 38 unit complex located on the barrier island of Bogue Banks. It is nestled in the maritime forest right next to the 200 acres of the Theodore Roosevelt Natural Preserve. The beach is wide and uncrowded. It has a friendly, family atmosphere. You can meet and mingle with the other Ocean Glen vacationers or maintain your privacy. Take a day to explore the surrounding areas, the nearby historic town of Beaufort, Morehead City and the charming seaside community of Swansboro. Enjoy discovering the area with numerous shops, restaurants and other attractions that are just a quick bike ride away. Many of our renters have commented on how lovely our place is. The Master Bedroom has a full private bath, king-size bed and balcony with a wonderful view of the beach, ocean and the Theodore Roosevelt Preserve. At night you can see the Cape Lookout Lighthouse flashing in the distance. There are two other bedrooms - one with a trundle bed that opens into a king size bed, and the other with a queen. These rooms share the 2nd full bath. Downstairs there is a fully-equipped kitchen, dining room, sunroom, large living room, plus a half bath. Since the beach faces the south, you can relax and enjoy yourself on the deck and watch spectacular sunrises and/or sunsets. You will see lots of pelicans flying in formation, egrets and often times you will see porpoises off shore. Ocean Glen is not off the beaten path. There are restaurants within a mile in Salter Path. There are also amusements such as (miniature golf, bumper boats and go carts), shops, kayaking, para sailing, jet-skiing, gas station, library, and post office. Also, the North Carolina Aquarium is only two miles from the condo, located in the Theodore Roosevelt Preserve on the bay side of the island. They offer varied activities all year round plus walking nature trails.
