26029 Colony Drive, Lot 18 Salvo, NC 27972

Sitting oceanfront on Colony Drive, Almost Paradise offers the wide-open views and easy Salvo vibe everyone loves. The main living level is upstairs, and the ocean hits you the second you walk in. The great room is bright and airy with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, gorgeous bamboo flooring and plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen has tons of counter space, a large center island, and an open concept that keeps everyone connected. The king suite on this level opens to the oceanfront deck, and the screened porch with the hot tub sits just off the living room for breezy evenings.

The bedroom level downstairs has a practical layout with a king room and a spacious room with two queens sharing a large bath with a jetted tub. Two additional bedrooms and a hall bath sit close by, along with a full laundry room and a second refrigerator. Step outside and the oceanfront pool is tucked away privately and only steps from the dune path.

The Tri-Village area has so much to offer. There's ideal sound access right across the street in Wind Over Waves—great for kiteboarding, windsurfing, or just getting on the water. The Salvo Day Use Area has soundside beaches, picnic spots, and a playground. Rodanthe Pier is just up the road for fishing and those classic OBX sunrises. Good Winds and Waterman's are close by for waterfront dining with unforgettable sunsets. And if you're ready to learn to kiteboard or want to watch the pros, Real Watersports and Kitty Hawk Kites are right around the corner.

This home brought in $84,820 in 2024, making it a strong option for buyers looking for an oceanfront retreat with solid rental performance and room to make it their own.

Ocean views for days, a great layout, and one of the most laid-back stretches of Hatteras Island—Almost Paradise deserves a spot at the top of your list.
