The Outer Banks

From the Windjammer resort you can drive North to amazing places along the coast, or drive South to Pea Island, then continue on to see the famous Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, then take the free ferry to Okracoke Island, and who knows who will pass by and wave. All photos here were taken by Meredith Hunt in March, 2007. Enjoy.

Some Outdoor Views

Sunrise over the Atlantic ocean from the personal deck of Unit S of the Windjammer. This deck is outside the Master Bedroom on the second floor. During mid-March this deck is virtually private, as there are few to no people around most of the time.

This view is from the Windjammer's covered pavillion on the dunes, facing East. The last unit down the Left is S. The ocean is behind you. For larger images, click on the photos.

Sometimes mid-March is stormy and cold, which some people (like us) love. Other times, like in this photo, it is sunny and mild. The water here is just a few yards down from the pavillion, the distance, of course, depending upon the tide.

These Below are the various buildings of the Windjammer resort. They are all set at an angle to the beach so every unit has an ocean view. This is facing South. You can see Unit S above the red car. Note how few cars there are. If you like quiet, this is a great week to come to the Outer Banks.

The blue Atlantic Ocean from the pavillion. Nothing between here and... Europe but water, sky, clouds, birds, and ships. Groups of pelicans are frequent overflyers in March. One fun form of recreation is kite flying. There is a terrific kite shop a few miles North and a paved bike path the whole way!

Tour of the First Floor

When you walk into the main door, this is about what you will see. In the many years we have stayed here, we always found the place to be super clean.

Looking toward the sitting area. The villa has three large closets.

The kitchen is small, but functional and well equipped. One downside is the dishwasher--it works very well but is somewhat loud.

Another view of the sitting area. The couch on the Left pulls out into a bed.

This is looking from the couch. On the Right is the stairs going up, but first...

Bathrooms

This is the downstairs 1/2 bath.

Stairs nicely carpeted. We never hear noise from the neighbor villa.
And this is the upstairs full bath at the top of the steps. The Windjammer has an outdoor pool, but it doesn't open until summer. However, the Hot Tub is next to the pool is open, I think. I'll check.

Upstairs--the Bedrooms

The Master Bedroom.

This bedroom contains two twin beds.
This is looking into the Master Bedroom from the upper deck. Sunlight sometimes shines in on the bed.
