Let your worries and your cares slip away at this gorgeous Outer Banks escape. Boasting a private in-ground pool, a fully fenced yard, and a covered patio area beneath the home, this coastal retreat comes primed for endless fun in the sun. When you're not enjoying the comforts of home, discover the island's pristine coastline with a day at the beach or a stroll down to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, which are both less than a mile away. You'll also be within a mile of great local restaurants,gift stores, and bait shops.

Completely surrounded by a privacy fence and lush, tropical foliage, the backyard pool area offers you a private paradise to enjoy with friends and family. An upper deck area makes an ideal spot to work on your tan, and if you need some relief from the heat, the breezy ground-floor patio has got you covered. If you went fishing while out and about, use the fish-cleaning station to prepare your catch for a hearty meal. The backyard firepit's top can be turned into a grill to sear the fish you just cleaned. In the evening, use it for starlight s'mores sessions together. An enclosed outdoor shower provides a private and convenient spot to rinse off after trips to the beach.

Coastal tones and seaside decor fill the interior, helping to set the mood for beachside bliss. Vaulted ceilings and strong natural lighting in the open-concept living area create an inviting space for group gatherings. An updated sofa and smart TV provide comfortable home lounging and indoor entertainment. A full suite of stainless steel kitchen appliances, cookware, and plenty of utensils are equipped for home cooking. Additional perks include central air-conditioning, free WiFi, and a private washer/dryer.

    Beautiful home in a great location. Pool was well maintained and a really nice set up with a bar area by the pool. About a two block walk to the beach. Neighborhood was quiet and great to walk at night and see the stars!

    We've been going to the Outer Banks for several years now with our 2 boys, and decided to add Buxton to our list. Real quickly, the town was great for what we needed. Of course it's not going to have everything that the busier northern towns do, but Conners grocery was great, and there are a couple of decent restaurants.As for the house, it's about what you'd expect. It's a little bit older and could use some updating. The bathrooms were clean. The kitchen was adequate. One issue was the microwave. It was above the stove and the hood for the stove. I am over 6 feet tall and putting things in it was tough. I would imagine anyone shorter than me would need a stool. The AC worked great.The pool was in nice shape. With two kids under the age of 10, having a decent pool is a must.The house was about a 5 minute walk to the beach. No worries there.My biggest issue was the beds. The master bedroom was quite possibly the worst mattress I've ever slept on. The other bed wasn't much better. The kids didn't seem to mind the bunk beds.Overall, I'd recommend this place. The house has the typical wear and age issues that most houses in this price range, but nothing that would keep me from coming back. 7.5/10

    Great location once the beach area opens up from oil spill. House was big enough for our family of 4. We cooked some meals and there were enough dishes to do so. Dishwasher was full when we got there so had to run it and put away dishes. Pool was not open but pool guy came during our stay to open it for next people checking in. Overall, good place.

    Just us and our dog, perfect getaway! Quiet neighborhood, off season so not too much going on. House was nice, cooked some meals at the house and went to a local sports bar as well. A great weekend away!

    Overall, we loved our stay at Knot A Care. Location was excellent! Easy drive to the beach and delicious restaurants. Pool was great. The fenced in yard was perfect for us and our dog. We didn’t get to do a fire in the pit, but that would have been great with plenty of seating around. We watched tv only a little bit, but we had access to any app. No issue with connecting to WiFi either. We had access to the washer and dryer so we were able to wash all of our clothes before heading home. We ate out the whole time, but there were plenty of cooking items available if you wanted to cook in. I can’t say enough good things about this place. We would stay again, so I think that says it all.

    Overall a very nice place. Had everything we needed. Could use a good cleaning (ceiling fans, shelves, etc), but nothing that prevented us from enjoying ourselves. .

    My family and I loved this house! Great location, the pool was great. Would book again, also loved that you could also book a partial week stay, so that allowed us to stay for a few extra days

    This was the perfect little beach house for a quiet and relaxing week. Very cozy home with a small, but well kept pool to stay cool during those hot summer days. The only thing I would say needs upgraded would be more kitchen supplies for cooking and cleaning and a working grill, other than that, this little beach house was a little gem, my family and two dogs enjoyed our stay immensely....would definitely come back!

    Perfect comfortable size for 2 - 6. Well stocked, well appointed home with beautiful coastal decor. Love the backyard paradise with large pool. The firepit is perfect size and great gathering place in the evening. Well stocked with comfortable chairs around all outside areas and deck. This is a definite return to as very few homes the size have pools and are this nice.
