Free Bird is a stunning 7-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom oceanside retreat in South Nags Head, designed with everything you need. Completely updated with quality coastal décor and furnishings, this multi-level home effortlessly balances laid-back beach style with generous space for everyone to gather or spread out in separate spaces. The ground level sets the tone with a large game room featuring a pool table, wet bar, full-size refrigerator with icemaker, and a comfortable sitting area with flat-screen TV. Two spacious bedrooms with a connecting Jack-and-Jill bath round out this level, along with washer/dryer — and direct access to your private, fenced 30'×15' concrete pool and covered deck. Too chilly for the pool? A relaxing hot tub is just outside. Throw in the grill to make this outdoor space ideal for long summer cookouts and post-beach hangouts. Step up to the middle level and you're greeted by a bright, open living and dining area with beamed ceilings and gorgeous ocean views. The well-equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances, lots of granite counter space, a large bar space and the dining area. Five bedrooms are spread across this level, including one with a private bath, deck access, and ocean views. A half bath and sun deck round out this floor. Enjoy the sunrises in the morning and sunsets in the afternoon. The third level loft is a true showstopper — a lounge area with a game table, comfy seating, and sweeping views of the sound and more ocean views. It's the perfect spot to unwind and take in the natural beauty of the Outer Banks. The location couldn't be better. The Ida Street Beach Access is less than 500 feet away, and Fish Heads Bar & Grill at the OBX Fishing Pier is an easy walk. As part of the South Creek Acres community, you also enjoy access to a community outdoor swimming pool and tennis facilities and a pickle ball court.
