About this property
Shell Cottage: Oceanfront | Private Pool | Hot Tub
Update for 2025! A brand new private pool will be installed just in time for the opening of spring pool season. New amenities for 2025 will also include a hot tub and outdoor recreation area. Photos coming in early April!
If you're in search of unobstructed ocean views and direct access to the beach, look no further than Shell Cottage. This newly updated oceanfront home in South Nags Head features a private walkway that makes getting to and from the beach easy and convenient.
The reverse floor plan at Shell Cottage takes full advantage of the panoramic ocean views, which can be enjoyed from every room on the top level. Stylish and beach-friendly LVT flooring is installed throughout, and the open-concept layout allows everyone to spend quality time together even while preparing meals in the kitchen. Dine al fresco on the screened porch while watching the sun go down. After dinner, mix cocktails at the wet bar to serve on the oceanfront deck. Take the stairs down to the mid-level and use the private walkway to the beach for an evening stroll by the shore break.
All four bedrooms are conveniently located on the mid-level, and the two master suites provide direct access to a covered oceanfront deck. Rinse off in the enclosed outdoor shower on your way back from the beach and use the dry entry from the ground level, where you can drop off your towels and swimsuits in the laundry area.
Located at milepost 19.5 in South Nags Head, Shell Cottage is a mile south of the Outer Banks Fishing Pier and Fish Head's Bar and Grill, where you can order food and drinks on the oceanfront while listening to live music. Coquina Beach, part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and a favorite local spot for fishing and surfing, is a six-minute drive away. From there, explore Bodie Island Lighthouse or head south for a day trip to Ocracoke.
Pets allowed. No smoking/vaping. Please refer to the Rental Agreement while reviewing Rules & Policies for pool opening/closing dates and pool heat information, including details regarding the optional pool heat fee.
