Vacation Home
Nestled inside the private, gated Buck Island community, The Sandcastle is a thoughtfully designed five-bedroom home that offers the rare combination of seclusion, luxury, and unbeatable convenience.
Your own
private resort
The gated pool and lounge area features resort-style loungers, a heated pool open April through October, and a 7-person hot tub. Multiple furnished decks wrap the home — perfect for morning coffee or evening breezes.
3 minutes
to the ocean
Buck Island’s private, lighted beach access walkway leads directly to the Outer Banks shoreline. The community also offers a beachfront cabana bathhouse, community pool, tennis courts, and a children’s playground.
Fun for
every age
The ground-floor recreation bonus room features a pool table, a deluxe 80s arcade machine (Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Dig Dug, and more), a large 55″ Roku TV, and direct access to the pool. Rainy day? You’ll never run out of things to do.
