Your Outer Banks hideaway, your way—with laid-back comfort, ocean vistas, and the timeless appeal of Buxton waiting at Turtle.
Find your calming coastal escape at Turtle, a bright and elegantly decorated two-bedroom, 1.5-bath townhome in the beloved Cottages at the Cape community of Buxton. Ideal for couples or modest families, this oceanside getaway offers comfort, convenience, and simple access to everything that makes Hatteras Island memorable.
Located just steps from the beach and within view of the iconic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Turtle captures the peaceful beauty and natural serenity of the Outer Banks. Spend your mornings walking along the shoreline, your afternoons exploring local stores and eateries, and your evenings calming on the screened porch—listening to the waves and coastal breeze as the lighthouse shines in the distance.
Inside, you'll find a welcoming open layout with coastal-inspired décor and plenty of natural light. The living area offers comfortable seating and a TV for movie nights, while the entirely equipped kitchen makes it painless to prepare family meals or snacks for the beach.
Upstairs, you'll find two inviting bedrooms—a king room and a queen room—each thoughtfully furnished for rest and relaxation. With 1.5 baths and a private washer/dryer, you'll have everything you need for a seamless stay.
