Agent Comments
“High Seas” is an exceptional oceanfront retreat located in the Hattie Creef Landing subdivision in Salvo, uniquely positioned behind one of Hatteras Island’s strongest natural dune lines. Ideally set within the desirable FEMA X flood zone, the lowest risk classification not requiring flood insurance, this property combines coastal beauty with added security—making it a standout investment opportunity. Purchased last year and demonstrating a significant commitment to quality and maintenance the current owners invested $150,000. These recent improvements were aimed to ensure the new owners would be purchasing a property in peak condition.
Encompassing over 6,300 square feet, the home is thoughtfully designed to accommodate large groups while maintaining comfort and privacy. It offers eight expansive bedrooms, all with direct access to wide, multi-level wraparound decks. Six bedrooms function as upscale en suites with king beds and private baths featuring double vanities, while the remaining two share a spacious hall bath. Two additional half baths are conveniently placed to serve the main living and entertainment areas. Each bathroom is finished with detailed custom tilework, adding a refined touch throughout.
The top floor is dedicated to gathering and taking in the views, featuring a vaulted great room filled with natural light and sweeping ocean vistas. A generous dining area easily seats 16, and the well-appointed kitchen is built for entertaining, complete with dual refrigerators, dual dishwashers, an ice maker, and a casual breakfast space. Just above it all, a cozy tower room provides a quiet nook for reading or unwinding.
Entertainment is a central theme of the home, with multiple indoor spaces designed for fun and relaxation. The main game room includes billiards, a TV lounge, and a wet bar with kitchenette, while a second recreation space on the lower level offers ping pong, arcade-style gaming, additional seating, and its own full-size refrigerator.
Step outside to experience resort-style amenities, including a private pool with a separate kiddie area and waterfall feature, all surrounded by a spacious sun deck and paver patio. A Tiki bar creates the perfect setting for outdoor gatherings, while a tucked-away hot tub beneath the home offers a more private place to relax.
Consistently maintained and thoughtfully updated, “High Seas” has built a strong reputation among guests and delivers impressive rental performance. This high performing asset with a robust track record, generating an average of $215,000 over the last three years, is a turnkey property that offers both immediate returns and long-term value. In addition, while undergoing it's 2026 updates, "High Seas" was temporarily off the market for a large portion of late fall to early spring, possibly indicating even higher income totals are within reach. It’s a rare chance to own a premier oceanfront investment in the Outer Banks with proven success and enduring appeal.
