You can’t beat an old historic cottage right on the beach. Plenty of room with all the bedrooms, the kitchen and sitting rooms on downstairs are all super cozy. We did a lot of cooking. The wraparound massive porch was fantastic. The house is stocked with a ton of cool outer banks style books, we did a lot of reading. I highly recommend laying in hammock while reading and enjoying the view and breeze. We got up most days in time to watch the sunrise. And caught the sunsets on front porch too. It’s close to a lot of restaurants and bars and shops. We rented beach cruisers and rode to many of them. I highly recommend this house. It’s one of the most special places to stay in the whole outer banks. Also, the crew at coastal Carolina reality is fantastic. Super responsive and helpful when needed. We will certainly be back! - Ryan Posted on 11/2/2026 ### (5/5 stars) If you want white walls and luxury vinyl floors go somewhere else. If you want a rare chance to stay in a historic 1930 beach house, this is your chance. You will find an authentic wood interior ,original art work and the feeling of generational family memories in this home. The panoramic view from the porch is remarkable. We loved it. - Marilyn P. Posted on 9/26/2026 ### (5/5 stars) Wonderful old school home as it should be. Comfortable, great decking, wonderful oceanfront view, and lots of character. We will be back for sure. Thanks!! - Dana Posted on 5/19/2026 ### (5/5 stars) House was very nice with the exception of the nails and screws all over the place from the new deck that was put on. Would rent again. - Joshua Posted on 5/12/2026 ### (5/5 stars) We loved Fred Wood cottage. So beautiful and cosy. We hope to come back again. - Ellen Posted on 11/1/2025 ### (5/5 stars) Great family place to stay ! - Donald Posted on 1/2/2025 ### (5/5 stars) - DaveG Posted on 11/22/2024 ### Fantastic Porches & Historic Home (4/5 stars) I really liked this quirky old house. The porches and location cannot be beat. Excellent communication and service from Costal Carolina Vacations. I would definitely rent Fred Wood Cottage again. - Laura M. Posted on 5/13/2024 ### Perfect old nags head experience (5/5 stars) Lovely cottage with historic charm. We enjoyed the beach view and convenience of strolling right out to the Atlantic! - Anonymous U Posted on 7/16/2023 ### Cottage History (5/5 stars) It was wonderful to imagine what life at the cottage was like in 1930's Nags Head, without AC. No matter. The ocean breeze and magnificent wrap around porches, keep it cool. What a treasure. It was a real treat to enjoy time in a cottage from a day gone by.. - William R. Posted on 7/7/2023 ### Rustic, charming and perfect. (5/5 stars) This rustic gem was perfect for our stay at the beach. It could use some improvements but is still perfect for the beach. It had everything we needed and is just a few steps off the back porch to the ocean. I laid in my bed upstairs and watched the waves crash. We hope to come back to this same house again next year. - Blondie M. Posted on 5/12/2023 ### Take A Step Back In Time (5/5 stars) Be prepared to take a step back in time with this beautifully preserved cottage built in the 1930's. Great A/C and amenities. Wood paneling throughout. The absolute best thing is the HUGE wrap around deck and peaceful view of the beach and waves crashing. We absolutely loved our experience and Everett with coastal carolina was an excellent communicator making our experience even better. Great place! Thanks for listing it!! - Anonymous U Posted on 4/26/2023 ### Great Service! (5/5 stars) We loved the beach house. It was quaint, and had a great location. We had issues with the power on day 5. The Coastal Carolina staff was very accommodating and arranged for us to move into another nearby property. The transition was seamless, and the service team did a great job of communicating with us. Would definitely recommend. - Josh E. Posted on 4/16/2023 ### Best family cottage on the beach (5/5 stars) We had the best time at this cottage on the beach. Loved how quaint and rustic it was. Loved the wood walls and floors. Felt like a mountain cabin at the beach. It was so beautiful and quiet and the kids had a blast. Right across the street was awesome pizza place and it was so close to so many of the sights we never had to stray far. Very clean and homey. Had everything we needed. We will be back again. - Anonymous U Posted on 4/8/2023
