Enjoy classic coastal charm in Southern Shores with soaring wood ceilings, an easy walk to the beach, and a fully fenced yard for relaxed, worry-free outdoor time.

The updated kitchen opens seamlessly to the living and dining areas, where vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings create a bright, inviting space to gather after a day in the sun. Thoughtful coastal touches and warm wood details give the home its timeless OBX character.

Upstairs, you’ll find four comfortable bedrooms, including a primary suite with a private en-suite bath, plus a hall bath serving the additional rooms. Downstairs, a private guest suite with its own full bath and seating area offers ideal separation for grandparents, teens, or anyone wanting extra privacy.

Outside, expansive deck space stretches beneath beautiful mature live oaks, providing shade and ocean breezes throughout the day. A screened-in porch offers the perfect spot for morning coffee or relaxed evenings after the beach.

Whether you’re strolling to the ocean, dining under the vaulted ceilings, or unwinding beneath the oaks, Lea by the Sea offers the space, comfort, and classic Southern Shores setting families return to year after year. Pets allowed, max 2 - with a pet fee.
