Immerse yourself in the soothing coastal breezes at this newly renovated oceanfront home, nestled along the pristine Cape Hatteras National Seashore. This custom designed island retreat is one of a kind - boasting luxurious touches that can be hard to find in the Outer Banks.

Hello from the Heusers. We've been married for 20 years, we have three wonderful children and two dogs. We are from Columbus, Ohio, but have lived in the DC metro area for the past 10 years. We love to travel. As high school sweethearts, we first vacationed in the Outer Banks and dreamed of owning a home on the beach. By working very hard, we were able to get one, then another. We've also loved the Gatlinburg, Tennessee area for many years and now have a cabin near there to share with guests.
