* NHCG10: Dockside Landing

This elevated, canal-front home makes the perfect launching pad for a dreamy stay on the Outer Banks, boasting sound views from both the front and back decks and a killer spot for sunset on the west-facing terrace. Launch your boat at the nearby community boat launch, then dock right behind the home after days on the water. Lots of shops, restaurants, grocery stores, and other amenities are within just a mile or two, and Enterprise Street, Public Beach Access, is under a mile away.

At the home, spend mornings enjoying coffee, sunshine, and the sea breeze on the upstairs deck, then step inside to make breakfast in the full, well-equipped kitchen. The open layout offers lots of natural light and a floor plan that flows from the kitchen to the dining area and living room, making it ideal for reconnecting with friends and family. Serve up family favorites at the large dining table, then head out to explore.

When you return, rinse off in the outdoor shower on the patio, then slip into the hot tub for an early-evening soak. Dinner prep is a breeze on the gas grill, and a sunset cocktail on the deck with your steak is a must. Let the washer/dryer take care of the day's clothes while you relax in the central air-conditioning and play a board game or stream the latest release on one of three smart TVs.

Traveling with a larger group? Sunshine Days and Bikini Bottom are within walking distance of this home.
