Escape reality and start living the dream at Bay Dream, an immaculate penthouse condo in the Shallowbag Bay Club. The corner unit layout and third level elevation provide a quiet setting, stunning views and abundant natural light. In addition to the Shallowbag Bay and the surrounding marsh, you can see Bodie Island Lighthouse, Jockeys Ridge and Roanoke Marshes Light from the condo. When you arrive, skip the stairs and use the building elevator to send up your luggage and groceries. LVP and tile flooring flow throughout this entire dog-friendly condo - you won't find any carpet here! Both the living area and primary suite open up onto a private covered deck overlooking the sound. Shallowbag Bay Club is a quaint boating community situated along Roanoke Island's Scarborough Creek. The full service marina offers fishing charters and boat slips (please contact the Dockmaster in advance to make arrangements if bringing a boat). Additional on-site amenities include an outdoor pool, hot tub, fitness center, grill, fish cleaning station, and a clubhouse with pool table. In the evenings, stroll along the boardwalk and out to the boat docks where you'll find a front-row seat for watching the spectacular sunsets. You won't have to go far for great food and drinks, since the waterfront restaurant Stripers Bar and Grille is conveniently located on the first floor of the same building. Be sure to set aside a day or two to explore Downtown Manteo, truly a hidden gem of the Outer Banks. Browse an eclectic array of unique, locally owned businesses including boutiques, galleries and eateries. Walk to the Roanoke Marshes Lighthouse for a trip back in time, or cross the bridge over to Roanoke Island Festival Park where you'll find The Pavilion Outdoor Theatre, a live-entertainment venue with lawn-style amphitheater seating that hosts concerts and festivals throughout the year. When you're ready to hit the beach, you'll be just a quick ten-minute drive over the bridge to the Nags Head public accesses with free parking. Can’t stay an entire week?
