About this property
Oceanfront, Nags Head NC - 13 bedrm home w historic charm + modern conveniences
Crawford Cottage has been home to family gatherings and special celebrations for generations. Our oceanfront home combines the historic charm of the classic Nags Head beach cottage with spacious modern living. It offers privacy, convenience, your own walkway to the beach and an oasis to enjoy your gathering.
You’ll find the Main house and the Cottage co-exist in harmony. The original updated 1940’s 4-bedroom oceanfront Cottage is connected by covered walkway to an exquisite, modern, 9-bedroom house. Natural wood throughout ties the buildings together with a warm glow, inviting you to savor your time with family and friends. Each bedroom is well appointed with ensuite bathroom. Situated on an acre of oceanfront property, the Cottage is an anomaly in Nags Head with over 9,500 sq ft of indoor living space and, best of all, 2,500 sq ft of sundecks and covered porches. If your family has grown enough to fill a small hotel, then Crawford Cottage is the perfect fit.
Special features include elevator, private pool, hot tub, cool dipping pool (3 ft depth), poolside cabana lounge, game room with wet bar and pool table, playroom with a ping pong table, 2 full well appointed kitchens (one in the Main House and smaller one in the Cottage), large rooftop sundeck with oversized chess board, screened porch, antique heart pine flooring, smart TV's, gas fireplace, wet bar with ice maker, ceiling fans, 3 washer/dryers and outdoor showers.
