Want a taste of old Nags Head? ‘The Beach House’ is a historical treasure on the Nags Head oceanfront with an added private pool and hot tub! The pool area has great ocean views. The Beach House has the tallest ocean front observation/sunbathing tower on the Outer Banks with a 360 degree view of the ocean, the sound, and Jockey's Ridge. At night you will be able to catch a glimpse of the light from Bodie Island lighthouse. This property is over 100 years old, and dates back to the days the inland farmers would bring their families to the beach to escape the heat and deadly mosquitoes for beach breezes all summer long! After generations with the same family, it was purchased by owners that respected the history of the property and wanted to add their own touch with the whimsical and fun decor theme of roosters and chickens. If you are interested in a unique destination filled with rich history this is the spot for you. Floor, walls and ceiling is original tongue in groove planking that has been restored and refinished. You can see the original nails from the sanding of the floor planks. 

Central heat and air throughout the property has been added and the kitchen and bathrooms completely redone with granite, new fixtures, farm sink, and washer and dryer. LCD TV’s throughout the property. The bunk room on the west side does have an additional window unit for those extra hot days just in case. There is a separate room off the back-deck original to the property, now for a study work area with computer and desk, plus there is wireless internet access throughout property and study. Located between Jockey’s Ridge and the Atlantic Ocean, you can see Jockey’s Ridge from the property. What a great location to base active families on the go! Hang gliding, climbing Jockey’s Ridge, kite flying, playing in the ocean, sunning or enjoying the private pool and hot tub are available with easy access. There is a shared dune top gazebo beach access you share with only 2 small semi oceanfront apartments next to the property. The pool and hot tub are your private amenities. Restaurants, shopping, seafood and farm market are within walking distance. Close to family activities including water sports, go carts, putt-putt, and a sound side park and theater for outdoor movies on the lawn.

Enjoy the remarkable panoramic views from the 51 ft observation/sunbathing tower! On the lower deck there will be a couch, two chairs, and a coffee table with outdoor carpet. This is a perfect play area for small children. Entry from the first deck to the higher decks will be controlled by a high "pool-like" gate. Entry from the house to the tower will be controlled with a security code preventing unwanted access. On the second level of the deck there will be 4 comfortable chairs to enjoy the view. On the third level of the deck you will be able to enjoy the breeze from the swing facing the ocean. The top level is where you will be able to see panoramic views of the ocean, Jockey's Ridge, the light from Bodie Island Lighthouse at night, and amazing views of the sunset! There will be chaise loungers for sunbathing too! The tower will have motion-activated solar lighting for all stairwells up to the top for easy viewing at night.

Awful Arthur's Oyster Bar

Welcome to the home of the happy oyster where for over 40 years the oyster has been our world. The Outer Banks only authentic oyster bar is the place to enjoy sensational fare from the sea washed down with your favorite brew or cocktail. We serve by the peck, pound, and dozen, raw or steamed to perfection. Kicked back casual, down to earth friendly staff, and reasonable prices make Awful Arthur’s Oyster Bar the all-time favorite of locals and travelers alike.

The idea wasn’t to set out and establish a new concept restaurant on the Outer Banks, but that’s exactly what Awful Arthur’s owner Jo Whitehead and her late husband, Jay, accomplished more than 35 years ago when they opened the area’s first authentic oyster bar.

 

Awful Arthur’s opened in May 1984 on the Outer Banks. “We embraced the concept of an authentic copper top bar with the idea of it being a major drawing card and it still is,” explains Whitehead. “I get oysters wherever they are local. We follow the warm waters.” 

 

Just across from the ocean, in Kill Devil Hills, oyster season is year-round at Awful Arthur’s. Diners can take a seat at the copper-topped bar to observe the staff shucking oysters, served raw or steamed, along with shrimp, crab legs and clams all steamed to perfection. 

 

It’s not just the raw bar that’s earned Awful Arthur’s both local and national recognition, including being named one of America’s greatest oyster bars by Coastal Living magazine. The restaurant is a seafood-lover’s paradise, offering the freshest catches available.
