Dog-Friendly | Ocean & Lighthouse Views | Peaceful Coastal Setting
Make your Outer Banks vacation your own—with short-stay options, family comfort, and the laid-back charm of Buxton waiting at Drum.

Ideal for small families, couples, or fishing enthusiasts, this cozy Buxton townhome offers all the comforts of home in a quiet oceanside setting just steps from the beach.
From your deck, enjoy glimpses of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and the soothing sound of the Atlantic.

After a day in the sun, unwind with dinner on the deck or relax indoors in the cool comfort of central AC.
Inside, coastal décor and thoughtful updates create a relaxing atmosphere for your Hatteras Island stay. The open-concept living area features comfortable seating and a TV for movie nights, while the fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare family meals or beach snacks.
