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.
Nags Head - The New Epicenter of the OBX
With a plethora of outdoor recreation, shopping, and dining options, there's no wonder why so many are gravitating to Nags Head as their Outer Banks vacation destination! Life's Porpoise offers incredible views of Jenette's Pier and is only a half-mile drive away! A delicious dining experience is only a 3-minute drive from your condo. Tale of the Whale is a prime choice for fresh seafood dishes on the OBX, including a “Whole Stuffed Lobster” and “Grilled Mahi Oscar”. This place also has a breathtaking view that overlooks the Roanoke Sound! For dessert just venture a little further north and grab a tasty frozen delight from Booty Treats Ice Cream & Shave Ice.
If you feel beached out a couple of days into your vacation, spend a day exploring the Outlets Nags Head with many brand name thread options including Polo Ralph Lauren, Gap, Banana Republic, and American Eagle. If you're searching for some one-of-a-kind clothing options for your little ones, be sure to check out Everything in Bliss, a beautiful children's boutique ran by a local OBX entrepreneur!
For your thrill-seeking needs, hit up the Nags Head Kitty Hawk Kites location. They offer pretty much anything outdoors-related, from hang-gliding to parasailing to jet ski rentals and more! They even offer scenic airplane tours and kiteboarding -- the latest trend in water sports that's sweeping the Outer Banks! Check out this page to see KHK discounts that are exclusive for Seaside guests.
Whether you venture out and explore the up-and-coming Nags Head area of the Outer Banks or choose to stay at home and enjoy the company of your loved ones, Life's Porpoise is an ideal choice for coastal comfort, amazing views, and easy access to one of the best Outer Banks' beaches!
