A beach house you'll love owning, and an investment that already knows how to perform. Welcome to Sea Oats Saltbox, a beautifully updated Southern Shores retreat offering the rare combination of personal enjoyment, turnkey ownership, and a proven rental history generating well over 10% in annual gross rental income versus sales price. Tucked away on a spacious, private lot and just a short walk to the beach, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home captures everything people love about Southern Shores. Spend mornings biking beneath the trees, afternoons at the beach, and evenings in your own private backyard retreat. The fully fenced yard has been thoughtfully transformed for outdoor living with a custom heated gunite saltwater pool, sun shelf, automatic pool cover and beautiful travertine pavers surrounding the pool. A pool heater helps extend the rental and swimming season beyond the peak summer months, while a full-yard irrigation system keeps the professionally landscaped grounds looking their best. After a day at the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower, unwind in the SISU barrel sauna, or gather beneath the home for an evening outdoors. Under-deck waterproofing and string lights create an additional covered outdoor living space. Inside, the bright and inviting open floor plan was made for gathering. An open kitchen with stainless steel appliances and bar seating flows into the main living space, while four bedrooms give family and guests plenty of room to settle in. Both bathrooms have been renovated, and brand-new front and rear decks featuring TimberTech® composite decking were completed in 2026, adding another major improvement that's already been taken care of for the next owner.
