About this property
"Any Excuse" - great cottage, great views, great beach access, great get away
Welcome to Any Excuse – our family beach cottage located in South Nag’s Head, NC (milepost 17.5). We named our cottage “Any Excuse” because, quite honestly, we will use any excuse to spend time in the Outer Banks! Our cottage is furnished with lots of personal touches and modern amenities to make you feel right at home. Public beach access is just a short walk from the cottage (1/2 block).
Any Excuse is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage. The downstairs bedroom is furnished with a queen bed and has a screened in back porch. Upstairs, there is a large bedroom with a king bed as well as a smaller room with a queen bed. Linens are provided. Both upstairs rooms have private decks. Several air mattresses including a toddler size one are also available for use. There are two full baths, one downstairs and one upstairs with tub/shower combination in both.
We are equipped with free high-speed WIFI, 3 smart TV’s, and 2 blue ray players. The kitchen is equipped with stove/oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, Keurig and a traditional coffeemaker. Dishes, cutlery, glassware, pots, pans, etc. are also supplied. The dining area accommodates 6 and additional seating for 2 is available at the kitchen bar. Washer and dryer are located on the main floor. Our comfortable den area includes a full size couch, oversized chair with ottoman, recliner and single swivel rocker. There is a large deck off the dining/den with 2 porch swings, and 2 chairs. This deck faces the ocean and is great for relaxing at any time of the day.
There is a nice storage space on the ground level where you will find beach chairs, beach toys, outdoor games, bikes, and boogie boards. A propane grill is available for your use. There is an outdoor shower with hot/cold water for easy and fun clean up after a day at the beach. Our extra-large driveway allows for room to enjoy the hammock or create an outside entertainment area.
This is a smoke-free cottage.
