The Outer Banks Motel on Cape Hatteras is offering a unique opportunity to stay in one of its original, though newly modernized, two bedroom cottages that was moved from the oceanfront location decades before to rescue it from an impending hurricane. The guest favorite "G3" as we call it, is part of the 'Garden Cottages Collection' and is safely located one mile from the oceanfront on the historic Cape Creek Canal. After registering and procuring your bungalow keys and directions from the main office located on the oceanfront, you'll park in the gravel lot that was once a lush family garden 50+ years ago. After climbing a few short steps to the deck overlooking the Creek, your key opens the storm door to the glassed-in four-season porch complete with rocking chairs. Another keyed door off the porch opens into the living area. The main interior features an open floor plan with each of its two bedrooms opening into the main living and dining area. Each bedroom has an antique dresser, double bed and a twin bed, closet, and additional blankets. The bedroom windows look out onto the Canal. The complete kitchen has all the amenities you may need, including a full range, full sized refrigerator, microwave, dual tub kitchen sink, standard coffee maker, toaster, and electric can opener. Every utensil, pan, pot, and complete set of dishes are there for your convenience. A full-sized dining room table with six chairs is located between the kitchen and living room area. The living room has a comfortable leather couch and nautical-themed lounge chair with additional pillows. A 32" Intelligent T.V. with standard cable and internet is there for your rainy day enjoyment. Several family heirloom antiques are blended throughout the decor adding to the casual island ambiance. The full bathroom is located at the far end of the bungalow, complete with bathtub and shower for those days when only a long soaking bath will do. On clear nights, you may see the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse light circle the sky every seven seconds over the Creek. Full access to the pool, hot tub and oceanfront amenities are supplied.

Please Note: Cancellations must be made at least two weeks in advance to be eligible for a refund.
