About this property

Cozy Cute Historic - Seaspray Cottage #3

Sea Spray Cottages were built in 1950. There are 5 cottages in total, each cottage is similar to the others, but unique in its own way.

My wife and I have been operating the SEA SPRAY COTTAGES OBX for vacations rentals since 2009. We run a mom & pop operation, an experience from a day gone-by but thoroughly enjoyed by our guests.

Sea Spray Cottage #3 rents weekly only in the summer, Sunday to Sunday. We will consider partial weeks, if the stay starts or ends on a Sunday. You will have to inquire about that option. The pricing of this unit will mirror Cottage #5 pricing for part-stays in the summer.

Sea Spray Cottage #3 is perfect for those looking for a quaint space to enjoy time at the beach. It has 2 bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other bedroom has 2 twins. It has a comfortable living room with wide-screen TV, galley kitchen, and sweet breakfast room. You will not believe how comfortable and charming it is until you spend some time there. If you are looking for a private get away or to vacation with just your immediate family or just you or just your significant other, this is the place.

Dogs are welcome, we try to keep it to 2 (the cottages are primarily for folks). $125 for the first two and $100 each after that.

The location can't be beat. The beach is just across the street and at about mile post 11.7 (just south of Nags Head Pier and north of Snowbird's Soft Serve Ice Cream), all of Nags Head's offerings are close by.

The cottage has a front porch for lounging and enjoying your favorite beverage as you watch the world go by as folks stroll, run and bike along the multi-use path that is across the street. The cottage also has a private back porch, patio in the rose garden, and fenced in yard. Bed linens and towels are NOT provided, but Billy or assistant manager runs a side gig and can hook you up, if you prefer not to bring your own.

Check in is at 4 and check out is at 10:00.

If your desired dates of travel are not available in this cottage, we have others. There are 5 cottages in total at Sea Spray Cottages OBX, all similar in vintage, but unique from one another. If you are a regular on the Outer Banks, they are the gray cottages with the pink doors on the beach road in Nags Head.

Pleasing Getaway

Accommodations were as described and met our needs completely. Quiet, comfortable, and private. We were in the area for it's history so were out most of the day. Only complaint was that the door to the "twin beds" room wouldn't close without something holding it closed. I would stay here again.

Cottage 3…

A quaint cottage with all wood interior. All the basics you need. Nice and clean! Could use some maintenance paint ,screens on front door and back door. Some landscaping maintenance in back would be nice. We had a great relaxing visit. The owners and management were so kind and responsive.

Rustic Getaway

For those people looking for elegant, upper crust accommodations, this isn’t your place. These cottages were built a long time ago, and is a reflection of what I would describe as “fishing cabins”. Wood paneling and ceilings throughout, small but adequate kitchenette. There’s a nice, large HDTV, queen bed in one room, two twins in the second bedroom. The cottage is centrally located on the beach road, away from the major traffic on the bypass. It is in the middle of the Outer Banks, so either direction is an adventure. You cannot see the ocean from the cottage due to the extensive buildings on the ocean side of the beach road, as well as the sand dunes, which help to protect the properties. We chose this location to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. In researching rentals, I found these cottages (there are a total of 5), to be among the very few that accommodate just two people. Most sleep 6 up to 20, and are priced accordingly. Also, the cottages are pet friendly, which isn’t easy to find. Our 2 labs were right at home. The front porch has comfortable chairs, and a gate to contain pets or children. It makes for a relaxing afternoon, and was enjoyable to get to know the like-minded neighbors! A large variety of restaurants are close, or just fix a meal in the kitchen or on the available grills. It’s the perfect get-away for retirees or “red-necks”……like us!

Steps from the beach!

The places was perfect! Listing photos show you what you get, and if anything, downplayed the charm of the place. It was perfect for my family of 4 and our furry friend who loved the fenced yard. Easy access to the beach and a short walk from a burger shack/ice cream spot made it perfect for solving all children complaints of “I’m hungry” and “ I want ice cream” :D Great communication before, during, and after and I hope we will be back soon!

Perfect get away spot.

Went for a weekend away and Sea Spray was right on time. Perfect size for my wife and I and our dogs. Everything you need is there, very clean, and near many of our favorite places to eat. Would not hesitate to stay here again in the future.

Cute Cottage!

We chose this cottage because we were bringing our dogs. It has a small fenced in back yard and a gate on the front porch to keep them from wandering, which was ideal! The cottage is old, but clean and has all the modern conveniences. We really enjoyed staying there and we will be back one day!

Sea Spray Cottage...A Gem of a Place in Nags Head

My husband and I just spent three days at Sea Spray Cottage #3 in Nags Head. What a lovely cottage with lots of OBX charm! It was clean, comfortable, and perfect for our weekend stay. John was responsive to my emails and phone calls often answering on the first ring. I would highly recommend a stay at Sea Spray!

About the host

Hosted by John Vollino

My wife, Laura Lee Garrett, has been vacationing on the Outer Banks her entire life. She introduced me, John Vollino, to the area when we were dating and have been vacationing there ever since. In 1991 we purchased our first cottage. In 2007 we purchased the Sea Spray Cottage Court. They were built in 1950; there are four cottages in total (two available for vacation rentals).

Why they chose this property

Sea Spray Cottages were slated for demolition to clear the lots for construction of 2 large 5-bedroom cottages. We purchased the lots with the requirment that the cottages remain. With preservation in mind, our intent is that we and others can enjoy a simple, yet confortable stay at the beach in a historic property.
