The View is Always Better from the Top
If you're going to vacation on the Outer Banks, why not do it from a completely remodeled penthouse condo? Now you can from this 2 bedroom, 2 bath oceanfront condo in Nags Head! 'Life's Porpoise' has one of the best views in the area, overlooking the beautiful Nags Head beach. Watch the sunrise over the Atlantic from your covered deck before you spend the afternoon in the water. And by water, we don't just mean the ocean. With this condo, you have options! Just head downstairs and walk right onto the beach to enjoy days of laying in the sand and swimming in the salty sea. If you're not feeling the sand and salt, you can opt to stay on the property and enjoy the condo community pool! The community also offers a convenient charcoal grill and picnic tables. After you've played all day, head out onto your OTHER deck in the evenings and enjoy an unbeatable OBX sunset.

As you enter the main level, you'll be greeted by a quintessential beachy ambiance. We're talking clean, neutral walls with light blue furniture and decor and large windows that allow the coastal rays to shine in, instantly reminding you why you choose this incredible home and location! The Kitchen boasts brilliant white cabinets that match the vivid walls and modern, stainless steel appliances for preparing succulent seafood dishes. The Dining Area has a round table with seating for 4. The Living Area holds a sleep sofa and loveseat with matching nautical blue stripe patterns where you can relax around the Electric Fireplace after a day at the beach. Open the sliding glass doors in the living area and you'll be led to the covered deck overlooking the majestic Atlantic Ocean. There is a Full Hallway Bathroom with a shower/tub combo. One bedroom holds a queen bed and a twin bed with a Nectar mattress and the master has a king bed with a Nectar mattress and an ensuite bathroom.
