A True Gem for Outer Banks Explorers who Deserve the Best
Discover just how luxurious an Outer Banks vacation can be with a stay at the magnificent 10-Bedroom, 7-Full Bathroom, 2-Half Bathroom Explorers Beacon. Located in a prime section of the OBX, this stunning South Nags Head vacation rental is an all-encompassing retreat that allows explorers to uncover all the beauty and decadent fun of the Outer Banks. Enjoy unbelievable views of the ocean and a direct walkway to the sand, making this the perfect place to spend your idyllic Outer Banks vacation.
When you pull up to this lovely home, you'll find plenty of parking space in the driveway for everyone in your family group. Head straight back to the Fenced-In Private Pool* where you can take a refreshing dip or rest your muscles in the warm, bubbly Hot Tub after your drive to the Outer Banks. Start working on your vacation tan in one of the lounge chairs and grill up some fresh, local seafood on the Charcoal Grill to enjoy in the picnic area. Be prepared to spend glorious mornings on the Beachside Deck located on the dunes and accessed via a Private Walkway that takes you directly to the ocean. This way, you can spend all day enjoying the surf and sand while still being able to make it back to your vacation rental for meal times and breaks.
Go inside on the Ground Level and you'll find plenty of space to simply relax and enjoy time together as a family. Challenge your loved ones to a game of friendly competition over a game of Pool in the Game Room where you'll also find a large Flat Screen TV and Kitchenette with a full refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher. Get the kiddos settled into the Bedroom with a Pyramid Bunk Bed and Bunk Bed set which shares a Jack-n-Jill Bathroom (Tub/Shower Combo) with a King Bedroom with its own TV, so you never have to worry about being too far away from the people you love. There's also an additional King Bedroom with a TV and a Full Hallway Bathroom (Tub/Shower Combo) further down the hall. The Ground Floor is completed by a Washer/Dryer and a Half Bathroom that opens up onto the Pool Deck for easy access.
When it's time for everyone to get some sleep in the peace and quiet, the Middle Level has 5 cozy Bedrooms and plenty of space to spread out and get comfortable. Choose from a King Bedroom with its own TV or a Bedroom with a Pyramid Bunk with Trundle and a Twin Bed that shares access to a Full Hallway Bathroom with a Tub/Shower Combo. A 2nd King Bedroom with a Flat Screen TV and Oceanfront Balcony Access shares a Jack-n-Jill Bathroom with another Bedroom featuring a Pyramid Bunk and Twin Bed, ideal for keeping the kids close at hand. The last bedroom on this floor is a King Master Bedroom with a Flat Screen TV and a slider to the Oceanfront Hot Tub and Covered Deck, amazing for quiet early mornings and privacy late at night.
There's another Washer/Dryer on this level, so clean laundry is easily accessible for everyone!
The Top Level of this amazing home is where everyone will be able to enjoy ultimate relaxation and plenty of fun time together. Hang out in the bright, sunny Living Area with a large Flat Screen TV that's perfect for family movie night and plenty of natural light to enjoy. Impress the family by cooking some fresh, local seafood in the large, airy Kitchen with granite countertops, 2 Dishwashers, a Full Refrigerator with an ice maker, and a Wet Bar with Wine Fridge. Take advantage of the spacious Dining Area, which can seat up to 20 people, or enjoy your meal out on the Oceanfront Sun Deck with a Picnic Table and plenty of cozy furniture, perfect for enjoying those fresh ocean breezes and beautiful sights of an Outer Banks skyline. There's a Half Bathroom located nearby to keep everyone comfortable. When it's time for some sleep, enjoy one of the 2 King Master Bedrooms on this level, one of which features a Jacuzzi tub and separate shower for the ultimate relaxation experience.
A Stunning Retreat in a Prime Location
Sitting in a prime location that's centrally close to all the Outer Banks' famed attractions, Explorers Beacon is a fine home base for a wealth of OBX adventures. Shop 'till you drop at a local boutique or the nearby fabulous outlet mall where you'll score some great deals on your favorite items! Anglers in your group will love being near two fishing piers—the Outer Banks Fishing Pier (complete with its own bar and restaurant) and Jennette's Fishing Pier (a recently rebuilt educational attraction that is part of the NC Aquarium System jutting out 1,000-feet into the Atlantic Ocean)—where you can try your luck at reeling in the big one! Take a drive down the pristine Cape Hatteras National Seashore and along the way, visit the Bodie Island Lighthouse where you can climb to the top for an immaculate 360-degree view of the surrounding island and natural marshland. Plus, there are dozens of renowned restaurants in the area to ensure everyone in your group, no matter their preferred palate, can find something they enjoy. Grab a burger from Outer Banks' favorite Sam and Omie's or a specialty slice from Nags Head Pizza Company. For dinner, enjoy waterfront dining at Miller's Waterfront Restaurant, Sugar Creek Restaurant, or Basnight's Lone Cedar Café, just to name a few! Book Explorers Beacon today and discover why this sandcastle is a luxurious home away from home for Outer Banks explorers with style.
