Most of the Outer Banks keeps its guests well connected to all the perceived luxuries of modern life.... Walmart, Target, fast food drive thrus, etc. But an hour's drive south from Nags Head, along a serene strip of sand located between the Pamlico Sound and the Atlantic Ocean will deliver you to the apex of the Outer Banks, to Cape Hatteras. Think... old Cape Cod fifty plus years ago. We harbor the last real beaches, broad and uncrowded, without corporate influence. About a mile away is the Cape Hatteras lighthouse, the tallest lighthouse in America. She has been protecting mariners traversing the rough waters beyond our shores for over a hundred years. Most locals are descendants of those who were on English ships seeking to discover new lands that fell victim to the treacherous seas and shipwrecked before the lighthouse was constructed. Once you arrive here, you'll discover why they never left. Prepare yourself to meet a few.

The iconic oceanfront Outer Banks Motel, on Cape Hatteras, a.k.a. 'Buxton', was constructed right on family land by one of those locals nearly 70 years ago. And continues to be owned and operated by that very local and her family. The OBM continues its tradition of old sea village hospitality but with modern upgrades and advancements to make our guests feel at home here. Having a planned out itinerary is not a necessity... just grab your beach towel, flip flops and a book and walk a few feet to the beach. Close your eyes and ponder the smell of salty air, sun and sea mist grazing your face, the gentle sound of the waves breaking on the beach, while digging your toes in the warm sand while watching the sun rise and set over the water. All that anxiety just melts away.

Every one of the OBMs' cottages and efficiency rooms are unique. Some are directly on the beach, some have magnificant vistas. All are just feet from the beach. We have a saltwater pool and hot tub located between the main office and the beach. There's a coin operated washer and dryer and ice machine in the back of the main office building located near the fish cleaning station. We provide you with everything you need, and nothing you don't. The local grocery store, many eateries, surf stores and tackle stores are not further than a mile away.
We have five oceanfront beach homes beach homes available on Vacation Rental By Owner. Each have two bedrooms with a queen bed and a twin bed in each bedroom. The open concept main living area has a full kitchen equipped with all the pots, pans, silverware, and dishes you'll need. Each has a enormous dining table able to accommodate six guests. And the living area has a sizable couch, lounge chair and a intelligent T.V. Specifically, #107 and #108 are further out on the beach and have a huge open deck. #10 and #11 have covered decks, and #110 has an open deck, and has an optional double queen room with a full bathroom that, if available, can turn your two bedroom beach home into a three bedroom, two bathroom beach home. There is an upcharge, but it's significantly less than if you rented each separately. Parking for one car is supplied, with an overflow lot located on the property.

How to find the best Hatteras vacation property experience:

Get the best value:

• Summertime is high season in the Hatteras area. To get the most suitable vacation home within budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the high season.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families book their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your group qualifies for a discount.
• Management companies and individual rental owners often offer renters an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask the property owner for additional information.
• Find a copy of your local Hatteras visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guides have offers and deals for nearby accommodations, restaurants and tours.
