A bubbling hot tub offers a quiet retreat for soothing soaks while listening to the rhythm of waves lapping the shoreline.

The Nags Head Location
Nags Head has been the historic center of Outer Banks family beach vacations since the 1940s and 50s, and this stretch of South Nags Head keeps things wonderfully low-key. Fish from the beach or one of three area piers, including Jeannette's Pier with its aquarium annex, wind turbines, and interpretive wildlife displays. A short drive north brings miniature golf, go-carts, a brand-name outlet mall, specialty shops, and restaurants ranging from casual take-out to fine dining. Explore Jockey's Ridge State Park, the tallest natural sand dune system on the East Coast, or wander the 1400 acres and five-plus miles of trails at Nags Head Woods Ecological Preserve. Historic Roanoke Island, the NC Aquarium, and the fishing village of Wanchese are all an easy drive away.
Updates for 2024: New carpet throughout all of the bedrooms, closets, and interior stairs, new Smart TV in the great room, and a new foot wash in the backyard.
Pool: Pool heated by propane. Max pool temp is 85 degrees.
Path to Beach: Due to shifting ocean currents and wind, it is normal for sand to accumulate on this home's beach steps and walkway.
Special Access Amenities: Ramp access to house and pool area. Elevator ascends to all levels. King bath on first floor is equipped with a roll-under sink, a barrier-free shower with seat, and grab bars. Please note that none of our homes are ADA compliant. Contact our office for more details.
