46044 N Tower Circle Rd Buxton

If you have been looking for an Outer Banks beach house with that unmistakable old school Hatteras Island feel, Wallaby’s Rest III is one to see. This classic Buxton cottage is full of character, offers plenty of outdoor living space, and puts you wonderfully close to the Atlantic Ocean.

And the timing could not be better. Beach nourishment was recently completed in Buxton, creating a beautiful, wide stretch of beach nearby. Add in great ocean views, a screened porch, multiple decks, and a rooftop sundeck, and this is the kind of Hatteras Island cottage that reminds you exactly why people fall in love with Buxton.

A Classic Buxton Beach Cottageetail

There is something special about the classic cottages of Hatteras Island, and this one has plenty of that laid back coastal personality.

The main level features an open living, dining, and kitchen area that makes it easy for everyone to gather after a day at the beach. This level also includes a queen bedroom, a bunk room, and a full bath.

One of my favorite features is the spacious front screened porch. It is just the spot for morning coffee, an afternoon in the shade, or an evening listening to the ocean breeze without giving the mosquitoes an invitation!

Four Bedrooms With Room To Relax

With four bedrooms and two full baths, there is plenty of room for family and friends.

Upstairs are two additional queen bedrooms, each with its own sitting area, along with another full bath. One bedroom opens directly onto the wide sundeck, giving you even more space to enjoy the outdoors.

There is also a laundry area tucked conveniently inside, something you will definitely appreciate after sandy beach days

Decks, Views And Hatteras Sunsets

Outdoor space is a big part of the appeal here. Between the screened porch, wide sundeck, and rooftop deck, there are plenty of places to kick back and enjoy the surroundings.

Head up to the rooftop sundeck for great ocean views, coastal breezes, and even the distant beam of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse after dark. It is a pretty special reminder that you are right in the heart of Buxton.

Under the home, you will find a large concrete area offering plenty of room for parking, beach gear, surfboards, fishing equipment, and all those extras that seem to come along with owning a beach house. It is practical space that fits perfectly with the Hatteras Island lifestyle.

Of course, the beach is the star of the show!

The home is just a short walk from the ocean, and the recently completed beach nourishment project has created an impressive stretch of sand along this part of Buxton. Grab your chair, cooler, and flip flops and head out for a day by the Atlantic.

For anyone considering a Hatteras Island vacation home or investment property, having convenient beach access paired with ocean views is certainly something to appreciate.

Your Piece Of Hatteras Island

Another thing to love about this location is how close you are to so much of what makes Buxton fun. Spend the morning on the beach, head toward Cape Point for an afternoon of fishing, visit the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, or enjoy the waters of the Pamlico Sound at Canadian Hole. The Fessenden Center, playground and skate park are nearby, along with local restaurants, shops, ice cream, and other Buxton favorites.

You can park the car, grab the bikes, and start enjoying the island.

Wallaby’s Rest III is is a classic Hatteras Island cottage in a great Buxton location with ocean views, wonderful outdoor spaces, and a freshly nourished beach nearby.

Whether you are searching for a second home, vacation getaway, or investment property on the Outer Banks, this one is worth a closer look.
