Welcome to Tangerine Dreams! Located on the beach in South Nags Head this cottage is exceptional for it’s authentic beach cottage feel with the modern updates that make your vacation on the Outer Banks become a tradition and not a visit. . Nestled behind the dunes with it’s own pier to the beach and a sunrise dune deck, the cottage has been updated with Central Air/Heat and a truly “one of a kind” outdoor shower/bathroom. With 3 bedrooms, the cottage sleeps 7: with two Master Bedrooms, One Bunk room with trundle bed and a futon bed in the den for that uncle that showed up unannounced and snores. In case you were wondering, there is an indoor bathroom as well. Built in the 1950’s, this cottage is located in walking distance from the Nags Head Fishing Pier. While South Nags head is sought after for it’s wide beaches and low density without the commercial sprawl, the Pier offers excellent live entertainment, fishing, great shrimp happy hours, and karaoke. The cottage is also conveniently located minutes away from the famous fishing grounds of Oregon Inlet in one direction and minutes away from Historic Manteo in another. For the City Slickers, the Tangor Outlet Mall is also 10 minutes North. There is no better location on the Outer Banks than South Nags Head to appreciate the authentic beach vacation with minimal commercialism and yet still have access to the High bustle areas.

Great experience at this property. It was clean. It was comfortable. It was in a great location. The host was extremely responsive. I would definitely rent it Again
It was very pleasant..Very nice being close to Beach...
I would suggest TV's in adult rooms (especially for rainy relaxed days and at nights)
Upgrade of inside bathroom...Enjoyed stay!!!!!!!!
We had a hard time finding house from the road, because we were looking for tangerine! After we figured out the exact location we fell in love. We will definitely be back . Perfect little house, perfect escape! My son Niko cried when we had to leave! He didn't want to say good bye to the ocean!goobye
Great beach cottage with more than enough room for everyone! Literally just steps away from the beach. Southern end of Nags Head, so the beach wasn't crowded at all! Super close to tons of restaurants and shopping. Only critique being I miss the Tangerine exterior!! Lol. Hopefully the owners will paint it back at some point. Overall, we had a great stay and we will definitely be coming back!!
Cute little place nestled just below the dunes. Path from the house to the beach is very narrow. Also of note the house is no longer tangerine so we were a bit confused if we had the right place or not when we first arrived. Zach was very responsive to messages when an issue with the AC arose. The problem was fixed the next day.
Don’t plan on sleeping in if you stay there anytime soon. There is a new house being built next door and construction crew arrives at 7am and is throwing around tools and loudly talking and yelling at each other. They start working at 7:30am sharp using chainsaws and beating and a banging all day long until dark. I was really looking forward to a relaxing week of sleeping in but that did not happen.
Ladies, there are also no plugs in the bathroom for hair dryer or curling irons so you will have to do that in one of the bedrooms. There is also no washer or dryer in this house. Despite these little inconveniences we did enjoy our stay and spent a lot of time on the screened in porch.
We loved this little old school beach box. It’s got everything you need— but it’s not upscale/ recently renovated so take note. It’s clean, comfortable, homey, beachy and affordable. It’s not granite counters and cutesy retro appliances. Since we spent almost all our time on the porch or the beach- that was perfect! One tip is that there’s only really one spot for putting on makeup and using heat styling was tricky. With three toget ready, it was a bonding experience… That’s not a complaint— a tip for others!! Next time, I’ll bring a lighted make up mirror for our big night out. We’re grateful a place like this is available to rent and have a low key beach vacation in
You cannot beat the location of this cottage! Everything was clean and they house has great AC. We love the screened in porch in the mornings and evenings. Zac the host communicates immediately. So many great restaurants within a 10 min drive. We just LOVE this little gem! Until next time :-)

A "C" is usually an average grade, but in this case the C's were all exceptional. This was my wife and I's second trip to OBX, the first time we'd stayed at a place right on the Atlantic ocean. My wife has a bad knee, and while walking in sand for any distance is a trial for her. We managed the short walk to the water almost every day for a week.
We had a grand time. The king bed (the only one we slept in) and the couch are very comfortable. It has a very spacious kitchen table. We used the charcoal (my preference) grill a couple of times. One very small suggestion, if they were there I didn't know where to find any grill tools - spatula, tongs, etc., but that's a really small nit. I made do with implements I found in the kitchen drawers.
This was a really great find. No regrets at all in staying here.
We loved our dune cottage! It was such a nice time, letting the kids be able to hop over to the beach without crossing any roads. The views from the dune deck were beautiful!
For those with little ones, I will say this portion of Nags Head beaches are a little steeper and deeper than other areas, but overall we never worried for safety.
We loved and used the outdoor shower often, and the high-pressure hose was a life-saver on all of our feet and equipment.
The beds were comfortable and the deck was so dreamy!
This was perfect for a long weekend with my wife. Great access to the beach, and close to many awesome restaurants via the beach road. The outside "shower" is the coolest ive ever seen, and was used more than once! 😉 really great place!
These are my top three things I loved about this rental: 1. On the beach with a beautiful view from the dune deck. This cottage sits behind a dune so to have an ocean view you have to walk up to the dune deck. 2. It's clean!
3. Price. I felt it is reasonably priced for it's location.
Zach was always responsive to our messages and we thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Tangerine Dream.
This little gem of a cottage was just what we were looking for. It had character! The location was perfect and it was immaculately clean. We have rented houses in the OBX for years - from Duck to Hatteras, and Tangerine Dreams was by far our favorite. It was REALLY nice being able to step right outta the car and go up only 2 porch steps to get in. (So many of the rentals down there have a million steps and lugging coolers, suitcases, etc. is exhausting). It was a very short walk over the dune to the beach. Sitting on the lovely screened in porch listening to the waves crash was amazing.
Zac, we appreciated your super fast responsiveness and for sharing your little piece of heaven with us. We would love to come back!
Zac is awesome with communication! I like the new updates of bedding, railing, motion censor lights on deck, and a blanket on the couch! Their AC is amazing in this house. The location is unbeatable if you are looking for beach front! We enjoyed the local made to order seafood and went on another dolphin tour different from last year. We love this place and already booked for next year! See you soon!
