About the host

Hosted by Rose Hudgins

Host profile image
We have lived on the Outer Banks since 1975. The ocean called Wayne here to surf from Hampton Va. many years ago and we couldn't live anywhere else now. We raised two beautiful girls here, one still in high school off to college soon. I attended ECU , Special Ed. teacher. Wayne is a professional house painter.



Why they chose this property

We bought this home four years ago. I have remodeled it so my Mother and family would always have a place to stay close by. It's so secluded yet so close to everything we need. A little slice of heaven in the middle of town! We can show you how we really live life to the fullest here on our little sandbar we call home.

What makes this property unique

Privacy is the key word here. Tucked away in the middle of town. A little piece of paradise.
