Two Steps to the Beach

Year Purchased: 1988

About: 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 Pine Knoll Shores, NC, USA:
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'.
