Escape to Scallop, a bright and inviting three-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhouse in the beloved Cottages at the Cape community of Buxton. Perfect for families or small groups, this oceanside retreat combines comfort, convenience, and the classic coastal charm of Hatteras Island.
Located just a few blocks from the beach and within view of the iconic Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Scallop puts the best of Buxton within easy reach.
