Don't be afraid to get your bottom a little "sandy" this summer and stay at Sandy Bottom. Located between two piers (Jennette's and Outer Banks Pier), this gorgeous home offers amazing ocean views and fresh renovations. Sandy Bottom is situated in a classic H floor plan, with the king bedroom, and one queen bedroom on one side, and the second queen bedroom and the room with 2 sets of bunks on the other side. Both sides have a full hall bathroom between the bedrooms. The crow's nest is a top-notch addition with a bird's eye view of the ocean for extraordinary sunrise views. When you stay at Sandy Bottom you gain not only an oceanfront view but the experience of having the beach as your backyard.

No shoes, No shirt, No problem...Welcome To The Fish Bowl. Take off in a kayak or canoe adventure almost from your back door in the morning and go to the beach after lunch! This restful location offers all the best options for an active, fun-filled vacation from sunup to sundown. This beautiful home is sure to please all! Just outside, there is a semi-private 'fish for fun' pond where the kids can catch Crappie, Bluegills and Catfish (catch & release please).

"On this day... 22 years (September 10th) ago, 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift. None of them saw past 10:00 am Sept 11, 2001. In one single moment life may never be the same. As you live and enjoy the breaths you take today and tonight before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.” -Unknown

Toad Lilies have made themselves happy in a few different places in the Garden. It is an easy to care for perennial for the shade. The deeply detailed flowers look like a tiny orchid. We love this plant for our shady plantings because the variegated foliage is distinctive all year and the flower is always worth the wait. We sell this plant in our nursery and offer two other cultivars that have different colored flowers and a little different habit. Toad lilies work well in any place you might find a Hosta. A great perennial that flowers consistently, we love Toad Lilies!
