Description Description

Fourth Estate Cottage: A comfy and cozy historic oceanfront home located in the heart of Nags Head that has a sandy path to the beach and offers guests YMCA access during their stay!

Bed Sizes:
 3 Queen, 2 Double

Families have maintained the look and feel of these historic homes located in Nags Head and the Fourth Estate Cottage c.1935 lets you step back in time when families came to the beach and enjoyed each other's company, children played on the beach and everyone gathered on the wide spacious covered decks to talk about life. Imagine the stories that have been told for generations here and will be told for generations to come. Evening cocktails and morning swims were a part of the tradition so make sure you do the same. The Old Nags Head charm still exists here but with added modern conveniences this home will be the place to rest, rejuvenate and make unforgettable memories. The lower level offers living, dining, and kitchen areas where everyone can gather for family time and delicious meals. The original bath on the main level has a claw foot tub so you have that rustic charm and the top level has four bedrooms and upgraded baths so everyone will be sure to find the perfect spot to end an adventurous day. Bring the family to this unforgettable home where you can share in the history and memories of years past.

Ocean front beach house
This home was the perfect size for our family of 5 + a few friends. They have kept the charm of the traditional Nags Head beach house with modern updates in the kitchen and bathrooms. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and most days had a nice breeze. You can not see the ocean from the porch because of the dunes however there is a short path to the beach through the dunes. This was very convenient for us! Linens and towels were provided and the kitchen had everything we needed(but we did not cook elaborate meals). We had a minor issue with the alarm system beeping and Coastal Carolina was very attentive to this. They sent out people immediately. We had a issue with the dishwasher and again they answered my texts right away and sent someone out. The location was perfect for us, we rented bikes and our teenage kids were able to bike to get coffee, açaí bowls, ice-cream, shops, etc. We also utilized the YMCA passes that came with the house. The house may seem “old” to some but if your looking to enjoy a traditional OBX home, I recommend this home.
