Unbelievable Oceanfront Home in Nags Head
Pelican Watch is a gorgeous, 4-Bedroom oceanfront home that provides stunning panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean from the comfort of your deck. Enjoy direct access to the pristine beaches of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and enjoy your morning coffee on the Screened-In Back Porch while you watch the sunrise over the azure blue waters of the sea. With tasteful interior decor, plenty of natural light, and Smart TVs in every bedroom, Pelican Watch is perfect for the relaxing vacation you need here on the Outer Banks.

When you first arrive at this remarkable home, you will feel yourself immediately transported to a world of surf, sand, and fresh ocean air. Once you've gotten parked and are ready to begin your beachside adventure, head up under the carport where you'll find a Picnic Area that's perfect for a delightful lunch with a side of sea breezes and the enclosed Outdoor Shower that makes rinsing off after a day at the beach and heading upstairs for some relaxation easy as pie. You'll also find the Laundry area and a convenient Grill that's perfect for enjoying fresh local North Carolina seafood after you've spent the day at the beach or catching your own food at the nearby Outer Banks Fishing Pier, where you can also visit the famous Fish Heads Bar & Grill for a drink and a meal near the sea.

Upstairs on the Main Level, enjoy a relaxing afternoon in the spacious Living Area with beautiful wood paneling, sliders out onto the Screened-In Porch that let in plenty of natural light, and cozy furniture arranged around a Flat Screen TV that's ideal for family movie night or catching up on your favorite shows after spending the day exploring the best of the Outer Banks. When it's meal time, take advantage of the light and airy open floorplan and make something delicious in the Kitchen with modern appliances to enjoy at the counter bar, which has stool seating for 4, or the Dining Area, which has seating for 4 more and natural light through the front door, which has a screen so you can let the winds wash through the entire house on a toasty hot day.

When you're ready to get some sleep, Pelican Watch features an “H” floorplan, meaning that on each side of the home, you'll find two bedrooms and a Full Hallway Bathroom. This means that with 2 Queen Bedrooms, a Twin Bedroom, a Pyramid Bunk Bedroom, and 2 Full Hallway Bathrooms, there's more than enough space for all of your loved ones to be able to have their own sleeping spaces while staying just steps away from the ocean!

And speaking of the ocean, enjoy a meal or a cool drink out on the Screened-In Porch where you can watch the waves hitting the sand at any time of day. Step out onto the Furnished Sun Deck where you can unwind in an Adirondack Chair and watch the stars appear in the evening sky. And then when you're ready to make your way to the water, step directly onto the sand and do it all again!
