Description

For the Shell of it is an exceptional waterfront residence located within the prestigious Slash Creek community on Hatteras Island.  This sophisticated coastal retreat offers sweeping views of the canal and sound, set amid a tranquil, resort-style environment with effortless access to a beautiful pool, just steps away, private boat dock, fish cleaning stations, curated walking paths and community grilling areas.
The thoughtfully designed open-concept interior is adorned with elegant coastal furnishings and refined finishes throughout, with a palette of sunrise and sunset hues – golden yellows and warm reds – that echo the light over the sound.  The gourmet kitchen has been meticulously updated with premium appliances, custom soft-close cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting and upscale dining service which includes a Cuisinart 14 cup programable coffee pot (#4 filters) for hosting intimate gatherings or preparing chef-inspired coastal cuisine.
Also tucked away in the living room is a cozy sitting area where you enjoy a good book or simply relax and watch the day go by.
Seamlessly extending the living space, the new private waterfront deck provides an idyllic setting to enjoy morning coffee, evening cocktails, and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets over the water.
This condo features two luxurious primary suites at either end of the unit for ultimate privacy and spa-like comfort.  The main suite showcases serene water views, direct deck access, and a jetted soaking tub for ultimate relaxation.  The second suite is equally inviting, appointed with a plush new luxury mattress and an elegantly updated bath featuring a soaking tub/shower and refined finishes and done with the colors of the sound and the ocean. Towels and linens are provided and beds are made ahead of your arrival.
New for 2026 season, the residence is enhanced with a new deck and three Roku smart televisions for effortless entertainment.  Additional upscale conveniences include elevator access, a private in-unit washer and dryer, and secure ground-level storage for bikes, fishing gear and beach equipment.
Perfectly positioned near world-class fishing, pristine beaches, fine dining, marinas, the iconic the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and ferry service to Ocracoke Island, For the Shell of It delivers an elevated coastal lifestyle-where sophistication, comfort, and unforgettable vacation moments come together effortlessly.

This condo is one of the most well maintained, supplied, colorful, inviting places Ive stayed. Everything worked as it should, AC, appliances, water, stove, tv’s, lights etc. Easy access 1st floor, close to elevator. No smells!! Just a super nice condo.

The Host contacted me by phone several times to make sure I was able to enter the property and to ask if everything was clean and acceptable. Would not hesitate to stay on this property in the future.

We have stayed in numerous units in Slash Creek. We love these condos. For the Shell of It is by far the cleanest unit we have stayed it. The furniture was comfortable. The A/C actually worked as well as the elevator.

The place is really nice; clean. Furnishings and appliances are nice & well chosen. The Vacasa people a were very helpful and were very accessible when needed. The owners also very friendly and helpful. This location is ideal for people who like to fish. Highly recommended. One suggestion: Tell prospective tenants that the ground level is NOT the first floor. One can’t open those doors to the storage rooms.

The owners of this property are so welcoming, friendly, and easy to interact with. They contacted us about a week and half out from our reservation, welcoming us and touching base. From that first contact to the rest of the time there was dialogue with the homeowners it was always easy and friendly. Upon arrival there was a lovely hand written card from the owners personally welcoming us and a bottle of wine with a ribbon. The entire Slash Creek development is excellent, quiet, very clean and well maintained. It has everything you need to clean up after a day on the beach or out on the boat before you go to into your home. The pool is very nice. A nice touch on the property are all the variety of blooming plants and makes it really pretty. For The Shell of It is beautifully decorated, comfortable and very nice quality furniture and mattresses. Throughout the home there are glass ocean themed art pieces, along with other beach themed artwork and little points of interest that really give this place a very nice touch. Everything is very well appointed. It is stocked with all the get you going things before you hit the grocery store with paper towels, toilet paper, dish sponge, detergent for dishwasher, dish washing, washing machine, bathroom soaps and body lotion, garbage bags. There are an ample amount of towels and the owner said if you need more, Vacasa is across the street from Slash Creek and we could go right over and get more. Kitchen cabinets, refrigerator and freezer, oven, microwave, and everything else in the kitchen you need to cook with and eat with is all wonderfully clean. Bathrooms are really nice, very clean and just as thoughtful and well appointed as the rest of the house. They have made a very nice binder filled with all kinds of great info for the stay in and around the property, for exploring the area, for the entertainment system. Good need-to-know info on the fridge. Pretty much if you don't know it is not on the property owners, you aren't reading all the info that makes a difference in the ease and comfort of your stay, for the respect of their property and the entire Slash Creek property. The digital lock on the door is super easy and great not having to keep up with a key. The deck is perfect and has comfy and quality furniture. The view is beautiful and you relax and smile! Sitting there you can see deer, a variety of birds, butterflies, beautiful skies, and a great view of the inlet and out into the sound. This is place is convenient to everything in Hatteras Village. Everyone in OBX and in Hatteras Village is so welcoming and happy to help you. The owners have gone above and beyond thinking of everything to make your stay feel homey, comfortable, and clearly want to exceed their guests expectations and experience at For The Shell of It. It was wonderful and perfect week in OBX and grateful for the care that the owners have for their guests staying at For The Shell of It.

Third time staying at Slash Creek Condos and first time in this one. Did not disappoint!! First, the homeowner reached out a couple weeks prior to our arrival. Very friendly and just wanted to make sure we didn’t have any questions. Her condo is beautiful, clean, and we felt at home. Everything felt new. Kitchen is perfectly organized and equipped. Very large master bedroom and bath. Loved sitting on the deck that overlooked the canal. Morning coffee as the sun rose. Loved the porch furniture. Very quiet here. Maybe it wasn’t a busy week but felt very private. Pool was perfect. My family and I usually like to try out a different house/condo every year but agree that this is our favorite and will definitely book again next year!

Relaxing Oasis!

This is a lovely, super comfortable condo overlooking Slash Creek! Vacation oriented and cool and quiet. The kitchen is a dream and we made many meals with local fresh fish. Beach access was close by and renting a golf cart made it all very easy. The community pool is a real plus.

Another lovely trip to Hatteras

We LOVE coming to Hatteras, and this is the fourth or fifth time staying at “For the Shell of It.” It’s a thoughtfully appointed condo in wonderful shape in a beautiful location, with easy access to the beach, ferry, and dining.
