About this property

SEA GLASS OCEANFRONT COTTAGE.

Sea Glass is a charming oceanfront beach cottage located at the end of a quiet cul de sac . . . and the Atlantic Ocean is your backyard. The beach literally starts at the bottom of the stairs. Enjoy outside living on the large oceanfront covered porch with a tall table + 4 tall chairs, plus a picnic table. Grab a good book and a glass of wine and enjoy the salty air and shimmering ocean at sunset . . . my favorite time of day :-) Or perhaps a nap in the double sized hammock below is more your speed? Sea Glass cottage features a large open living area with bamboo floors, lots of natural light, and stunning panoramic ocean views. Enjoy your morning coffee on the sofa watching the dolphins play in the surf and the sun rising on the Atlantic . . . you'll want to be on a permanent vacation! The well equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances, fridge with ice maker and filtered water on door, and an island bar overlooking the adjoining dining and living rooms. Sea Glass accommodates 6 people (4 adults & 2 kids). There is an oceanfront queen, an oceanfront twin bunk room, and a king bedroom with it's own half bath. The shared full bath features a shower with tub should you need one for the kids . . . but trust me, you'll be taking all your showers in the large private outside shower with hot and cold water.

Enjoy spectacular shelling, surf fishing, sun bathing, surfing, swimming, kayaking . . . and so much more. Or just stay put and enjoy the peace and quiet, and the sound of the ocean. Your family will remember the memories you make at Sea Glass for generations!

Clean, simple, and well-appointed beachfront cottage
This 3-bedroom cottage is steps from the beach. The interior is very clean, with a well-equipped kitchen and open-concept living space. The ideal beachfront location, coupled with the adorably decorated and well-maintained interior provided a pleasant and relaxing setting for our family vacation. We would return next year for sure!

Great cottage!
Our trip was rained out during Debby, but it was saved by the beautiful cottage. You can really tell when the owners are directly involved with the maintenance of the property. Everything we could have needed was there with little extra touches to make it a homey stay. The cottage was spotless, and the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed lots of family time at the dining table and great porch time. It was perfect for our family of four.

Another amazing week at Sea Glass!
We really enjoyed our fourth summer vacation week at the Sea Glass Cottage! The cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped, as always, and the proximity to the beach is hard to beat. Communication with Kim and Mark was excellent — they made sure everything was perfect and were always just a phone call away. The location 5-6 miles south of the busier commercial area of Nags Head is ideal, with stores easily accessed, but well away from more crowded stretches of beach. We couldn’t ask for more and hope to return next summer!

Very comfortable and well equipped cottage. My only suggestion would be for a grab bar in the tub:shower. The trudge over the dune was worthwhile because of the beautiful beach awaiting us! We had a lovely vacation.

OBX Getaway
My husband and I had a lovely week at Sea Glass Cottage. The cottage is very comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed. We spent a lot of time on the covered deck which was fabulous. The location is close enough to sites/grocery/fish market, etc. but also just far enough away to truly relax. The dune to the beach gave my calves a workout (ha!!) but great to be at the surfs edge in 2 minutes. The hosts were very responsive and followed-up with us on arrival and before we departed. We enjoyed the gift they left in the frig. with a thoughtful welcome note. And, cannot fail to mention that we were able to bring our dog (which was a must for us) and it was a lot of fun watching her play in the surf and take long morning and evening walks. All in all, a great week in a very comfortable home!

Super cozy and clean cabin just steps from the ocean. The perfect spot for exploring all of what the Outer Banks offers as it’s pretty much in the middle. We can’t wait to return.

Love, Beach, , Family
The weather was perfect with the sun shining at least part of every day. The home was warm and welcoming and the gift in the fridge was a sweet touch. The dunes kind of hindered a perfect view of the ocean but would not keep us from returning. My only suggestion for improvement would be a strong gate for the puppies.

This cottage was perfect for my spring getaway. Everything was spotless and smelled freshly cleaned when we arrived. It was so welcoming to have the ceiling fans on when we arrived. The beaches, sunrises, dolphins, who could ask for more. Truly a gem!! ❤️❤️❤️

This was a great location for our spring-break vacation! The house was well equipped and the location was great. The location is close enough to drive into town, but far enough that the beach isn’t too busy.

Spring break in Nags Head
Location location location. Super easy to access the main roads to all the sites and restaurants, and steps from the beach. Private drive keeps the area pretty quiet when enjoying the ocean and sun. Home was comfy and perfect size for my wife and I along with our dog. Stunning views of the ocean, only possible drawback to some is it is a steep climb up over the dune to the beach. But you can walk to the next street to find a more level access. We would return for sure!

3 times and counting
They say 3 times is a charm well each visit has been wonderful and this one had the best weather. We love staying in this cozy house on the beach near to good restaurants and birding sights. It is our 3rd time in it. Great beach for walking and relaxing and watching fishermen and women. They were catching fish! There are lots of other things to do which we didn’t do this time like kayaking and touring historic sights which have done in the past Kim is great to communicate with too. Hope to be back.

Lots of fun! No disappointments.
What I'd like to tell you is that our time was terrible, the house was horrible, and that all communication with Kim were the worst, but I can't. Hoping to get my choice of weeks for next year! You can't blame me for trying! This is an adorable cottage, well equipped and clean, in an absolutely perfect spot on the beach. Kim was wonderful to work with and was very helpful when a storm came in just before we were due to arrive and with communication regarding our stay. It was horrible, terrible, save your money. But that's not at all how our week at Sea Glass was. It was full of happiness and great memories. We'll be back.

About the host

Hosted by Mark & Kim Milby

Host profile image
We have lived on the Outer Banks for 20 years. My grandfather built a cottage on the outer banks in the 1950's and we have been coming here all our lives. We love it here and wanted to have a cottage for our family and friends to enjoy when it is not rented. We are in Real Estate and architectural design and loved bringing this cottage back to life when we bought it. We hope you will love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Location, Location, Location! It has such incredible views and is literally steps from the ocean. And it is not so big that you have to bring 20 of your closest friends to afford it. A traditional, delightful oceanfront Nags Head cottage perfect for 2 couples and their kids.

What makes this property unique

We are a short bike ride from Bodie Island Lighthouse and the Outer Banks Fishing Pier, which features Fish Heads Bar & Grill (a local fav!). If you are a surfer we have 2 great breaks just north and south of us. Or enjoy hunting for sea glass and the perfect conch shell to take home as a souvenir. South Nags Head is away from the neon lights . . . but still close enough to all Outer Banks attractions, restaurants and shopping. The area is loved for being what the rest of Nags Head "used" to be like . . .
