The Beach House - Vacation rental home in Nags Head, NC

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.
