Great location

The cottage was great and the location even better. All you need for a memorable and affordable vacay in the OBX. I've been coming to the outer banks for 40 years and had never eaten at Tortugas. Since it was located directly across the street, we took advantage of it's proximity. Delicious!
Took this at the top of the short path to the beach one morning.

Great get-away!

Walk right out to the beach every morning! Love it! Walking and Biking distance for most close activities. All others within 10 minutes to anything looking to do. 20 minute drive to offshore fishing. Ideal location for a rustic, vacation in North Carolina.

Loved this cottage

Loved this cottage. Old style Nagshead reminds me of coming down here 50 years ago. Cottage was clean and neat. Had everything we needed including essentials. Great communication with property manager. Location was excellent. Would stay here again! Thanks for sharing your cottage.

October Week Getaway

Great little beach cottage!! Decor is super cute beachy. Perfect for couples or small family. Plenty of deck space that wraps around the cottage. Direct access to the beach from the back deck, just down a path and over a small dune. We really enjoyed our stay and will defiantly rebook again. Check in and out is very simple, no stress. Property owner and managers are wonderful!
