This luxury resort comprising three multistory buildings and five large rental homes spreads over 16 quiet acres of ocean-to-sound property that include two outdoor pools (one that's adults only), hot tubs, an indoor pool, firepits, and a boccie court. Grab a drink at the beachfront Sandbar, sign up for kayak tours, paddleboard lessons, and yoga classes, or just relax on your porch and watch the waves roll in. The elegant, dinner-only Kimball's Kitchen restaurant (open May to October) has a wall of windows overlooking Currituck Sound. The resort-casual Lifesaving Station, a restored 1899 former lifesaving station that was renovated in 2017, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner year-round.
