About this property

Rare 2BR Ocean-Front Home in S.Nags Head

  • * Due to the nature of the Outer Banks, dunes and amount of beach between ocean-front properties and the ocean can accumulate and/or disappear very quickly. Pictures of beach-front properties may not accurately reflect the size of the dune or beach due to such fluctuations.

    Featured on "Buying the Beach," Season 1: Episode 4, this South Nags Head, Ocean-Front Rental Home had a complete video walk-through and was eventually chosen and purchased by the prospective buyers on that episode! This home has since found new ownership in 2022 with a couple who have thoroughly cared for and upgraded the home, and they welcome you to their beautifully updated beach-house!

    270, Ocean Romance, is an absolutely perfect Nags Head, Ocean-Front getaway for a small family or honeymoon retreat! With an ocean-facing deck, well-kept interior with updated flooring, granite kitchen countertops, washer/dryer, outside shower w/bathroom, and so much more, you will have everything you need while relaxing to the sounds of the ocean in your back yard!

    This OBX Ocean-Front features an ocean-facing great room with beach views all the way to the kitchen! The queen ocean-facing bedroom allows for waking up to the sunset, while kids rooms provides a variety of extra bedding for the family! And the beach-side deck allows for relaxing family gatherings and meals on the large picnic table, all while gazing out over the ocean. And while you're spending a day out on the beach, you'll have convenient access to an outside shower with bathroom for those quick ocean retreats!

    Being located in South Nags Head, you'll find relatively less-crowded and wide beaches, and the area is minutes from the Bodie Island Lighthouse, Outer Banks fishing pier (featuring the Fish Heads restaurant), 4 x 4 beaches, and Old Oregon Inlet Marina, while only a short drive to the heart of Nags Head, featuring an abundance of grocery stores, restaurants, Outlet Mall, golf (including miniature golf), sound-side water sports, and so much more!

    When you book your next OBX Vacation at 270, "Ocean Romance," your family will make memories you'll want to return to year-after-year.

    And don't forget to bring your “extended family,” as "Ocean Romance" allows up to two dogs with an additional $150 spray fee!

    This home is also directly south of the 4-bedroom ocean front rental home #470, allowing for larger group vacations while being next to one another!

    * This house allows dogs for an extra fee of $150 plus tax. If bringing a dog, please contact Cove Realty so that a pet spray may be set up after your stay. Please visit our website link for dog restrictions, policies, and local information https://www.coverealty.com/outer-banks-pet-information.

    * Storms can quickly change the condition of a parking area causing sand accumulation and potential vehicle damage (either sand-blasting or vehicles becoming stuck). Cove Realty is not liable for any towing costs or damage to a vehicle. While, Cove Realty cannot guarantee the condition of a parking area, we do have parking areas professionally scraped after storms when necessary and also offer available parking at our Nags Head office.

    ** To keep rental costs down, this OBX home does not provide linens. However, a linen package can be provided for an extra fee. Please contact Cove Realty of Nags Head for more information on this home's linen rental package. Also, Cove Realty is a Green company that limits excessive waste. As such, linens, toiletry items, cleaning supplies, and so forth, are not supplied at the rental home, so please be mindful to bring these with you or be ready to purchase upon arrival to the Outer Banks.

Nice getaway

A quintessential beach cottage compete with spongy floors in spots! Pictures are accurate but it is a little rough around the edges. Appliances are all newer and in good working condition. Kitchen is well equipped with everything you need plus a mini wine fridge! Bed was reasonably comfortable. That said ,we came for the beach and the location was perfect! We enjoyed the sunrises and our daily walks on the beach. Our dog had a wonderful time playing fetch and running in the sand. Overall a great experience!

Beautiful spot

My review is mixed. We really enjoyed our stay. The house was in the perfect location and was clean. However, the floors in more than one room were very soft and felt unsafe. When we arrived there was a rat trap sitting on the table by the bed and mouse traps throughout the house although we saw no sign of any rodents. It made us uneasy, but as far as the actual time spent there, we loved the house and location. The floors need serious attention. If that was addressed, I would love to stay there every year.

Location

Location was perfect. Outside: trashed property, grill rusted and broken. Hand rail up to front door loose ( my mom 88 ) Outdoor furniture not clean. House across had 4-7 cars. Inside: floors throughout warped, couch and beds old and uncomfortable.. Screen broken, dog hairs around. SSndy floors, oven smelly and musty. Bedrooms warped walls , buckled paneling. someone put a dishwasher pod in wAshing machine, molded shower liner, just very deceiving and unpleasant. Cove Reslty we felt with last time with a write up. If you write negative comments and hit submit it doesn’t go through. Would not work wot them .

Great location

We had a fantastic week-long stay at this charming oceanfront cottage in Nags Head. The location is unbeatable—just steps from the beach, offering stunning sunrise views and easy access for morning walks. The house was clean, well-equipped, and comfortably accommodated our group with its spacious layout and cozy decor. The kitchen was perfect for preparing meals, and the porch was a highlight for relaxing evenings

I understand that dunes are directly in front of some houses to protect them. But when this is the case I feel you owe your guest the courtesy of updating your rental pictures. We could not see the beach even standing in the picnic table. So disappointing. The house was not clean.

Smelled musty, paneling on wall in back bedroom was warped obviously they had a leak at some point. Moldy bathroom with soft spongy floor no view of the ocean as shown on VRBO big sand dune in front of property. The picture representing the property is not accurate at least 10 years old probably more. The beach was close to this house and we had winds and high surf from hurricane Erin. I was not evacuated but everything south of my rental home was evacuated. They told me I could move my car to the office parking lot to keep from getting ocean overwash on it but then what was I supposed to do if conditions worsened, terrible vacation stayed only three of seven days
