Bluefish | Cozy Buxton Getaway w/ Ocean View

A Hidden Gem in Buxton – Your Peaceful Outer Banks Escape
Dog-Friendly | Ocean Views | Steps from the Beach

Make your Outer Banks vacation your own—with short-stay options, family comfort, and serene Buxton surroundings at Bluefish.

Discover one of the Outer Banks' best-kept secrets at Bluefish, a cozy two-bedroom, 1.5-bath townhouse tucked away in the charming Cottages at the Cape community of Buxton. Perfect for couples or small families, this inviting oceanside retreat offers all the comforts of home with the serenity of a true coastal hideaway.

Set just moments from the sand and sea, Bluefish places you in the heart of Buxton's quiet beauty. Walk to the nearby Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, explore the scenic trails of Buxton Woods, or cast a line near Cape Point—one of the best fishing spots on Hatteras Island. In the evenings, unwind on your private porch with an ocean breeze and views of the lighthouse glowing in the distance.

Inside, this thoughtfully designed townhouse is filled with natural light and beach-inspired décor. The open-concept living area offers a comfortable space to gather, while the fully equipped kitchen makes mealtime a breeze. Upstairs, two restful bedrooms provide peaceful retreats after days spent exploring the shoreline. Central AC, a private washer and dryer, and free WiFi ensure a convenient and comfortable stay for every guest.

Bluefish is dog-friendly, so your four-legged family member can join in on the adventure. Whether you're seeking a romantic coastal getaway or a quiet family escape, this Buxton townhome is the perfect spot to experience the laid-back lifestyle of Hatteras Island.

Walk or bike to the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Buxton's local shops and restaurants, or the famous jetties—known for some of the best fishing, surfing, and shelling on Hatteras Island. With miles of pristine shoreline and plenty of local flavor nearby, this Buxton townhome delivers the ultimate Outer Banks experience.

Explore Historic Hatteras Island
If you've always wanted to get away from the busiest areas of the Outer Banks but still be within easy driving distance of local restaurants, gift shops, and landmarks, Hatteras is the perfect place for you to take your next vacation! Just a few miles down the road, you can go birdwatching and explore the marshes of the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge or drive to Buxton to climb the famous Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. The anglers in your group will love being so close to Cape Point where they can try their luck reeling in a big catch. To learn more about the area's exciting history, stop by the Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station to learn about how water rescues were carried out long before modern technology. For a quick bite or tasty breakfast, drive down to the Orange Blossom Cafe for an apple ugly that's definitely worth writing home about. For dinner, try a delicious seafood meal from Pangea Tavern or a burger from Bros. There are also dozens of local shops within easy driving distance and all the fun adventures to be had in Hatteras Landing just down the road, so there is always something fun to do for the whole family.

Book Your Stay:
Flexible check-ins, short stays, and a bright, family-focused design make Bluefish the perfect place to drop anchor and create lifelong memories on Hatteras Island.
