Boasting over 5,000 square feet of living area with Eight En Suites, this home is a trailblazer within its neighboring vacation properties. Enjoy sweeping, unobstructed ocean views from the top-level and easy beach access from the private, dune-top stairs and gazebo.
Centrally located on the beaches of the Outer Banks, Eleanor Dare allows for effortless exploring. Take day trips to the islands of Ocracoke, Hatteras, and Roanoke or further discover Bodie Island during your stay.
With KEES FlexStay™, you're able to choose your own vacation check-in or check-out dates at no additional cost!
