Your Outer Banks hideaway, your way—with coastal comfort, ocean vistas, and the peaceful appeal of Buxton waiting at Egret.
Find your calming escape at Egret, a gorgeously refreshed 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath townhouse in the beloved Cottages at the Cape community. Ideal for couples or modest families, this oceanside getaway offers dog-friendly accommodations, comfortable living spaces, and simple access to everything that makes Hatteras Island so special.
Located just steps from the beach and within view of the iconic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Egret captures the peaceful beauty of the Outer Banks. Start your mornings strolling the shoreline, spend the afternoons exploring local stores and eateries, and relax in the evenings on the screened porch—listening to the waves and ocean breeze as the lighthouse glows in the distance.
Inside, you'll find an open layout with coastal-inspired décor and natural light. The living area provides cozy seating and a TV for movie nights, while the entirely equipped kitchen makes it painless to prepare family meals or fast snacks for the beach.
