DESCRIPTION
You CAN have it all at 'Shark and Awe'! Not your typical beach cottage, this property was featured in the Outer Banks Parade of Homes and was a finalist.

Spend the day at the beach, splash and play in the private pool, enjoy movie night or the big game on one of the TV's (or bring your own video games for extreme game night).
