About this property

Delightful Oceanside Home Steps to Tranquil Beach: Soak up the Sun and Seabreeze

Nestled just steps from the soft, golden sands of the meandering Outer Banks beaches, this charming beach cottage offers the perfect coastal retreat. With four inviting bedrooms and two full baths, it comfortably accommodates families seeking a relaxing getaway. The fully-stocked kitchen is ideal for preparing home-cooked meals, while the open dining/living room provides a great space for family gatherings. Unwind on the deck after a day of sunbathing, fishing or exploring, and enjoy the salty, ocean breeze while watching the sun sink down slowly over the Sound. The deck is also perfect for watching the beach come to life in the morning with the soft pinks and oranges of the sunrise over the ocean.

The cottage is located on a lovely, quiet street that dead-ends at the beach. It's located in South Nags Head, just past Milepost 20. Our location is the best of both worlds with restaurants, shops, grocery stores, golf courses, state parks, fishing piers and other local attractions only a 10-15 minute drive from the house, while having the peaceful coastal sanctuary for shorebirds, sea turtles, dolphins and more, just steps from the front door. You'll love the serenity of slow-paced beach living!

Don't forget about the magical atmosphere of the Outer Banks at night! You will be mesmerized by the dazzling canopy of stars overhead, unimpeded by city lights. For some added fun, take a flashlight down to the beach at night to watch the ghost crabs scuttle across the sand as they search for food under the cover of night.

*There is typically a lifeguard stand on the beach at the end of our street during summer months.

Love! Love! Love!

We were absolutely in love with the house and its location. The description listed is spot on. We will definitely look into getting this house again if we can pull the family together for another trip to NC. Sitting on the deck at night, listening to the waves was one of my favorite things. It was all around a great experience.

Loved the clean, close to the beach, quiet but close to the shops and action location. It was great to be able to run back to the house for food, nap time and other needs. The house is decorated beautifully and comfortable for a perfect vacation.

Anniversary Getaway

My husband and I booked five nights at this beautiful oceanside cottage, and we were absolutely delighted with our accommodations. The cottage was lovely, well equipped, and in a very desirable location. We had great communications with our hosts who made us feel right at home with the cottage amenities and the detailed information given about the Outer Banks area. We look forward to booking another stay at this lovely home!

Lovely Stay in Nags Head

The house was the perfect size for our family of 4 and 2 other family members. The house is so close to the beach and located in a safe neighborhood. We appreciated the extra amenities such as kitchen towels, well stocked kitchen and appliances, and beach equipment. House was very clean and beds were comfortable. Also, my children loved all of the board games in the house.

Amazing!

This is our second time renting this house. Leslie and Greg do an amazing job ensuring the house is well kept and clean! The house everything needed for a relaxing beachside vacation, from having board games and books for rainy day activities to sand toys and beach chairs to take along to the beach that is less than a minute walk! Leslie made us feel very welcomed in their home as she was very responsive. Thank you Leslie and Greg!!

Beach Cottage at Nags Head

My family stayed in the beach cottage and it was AMAZING! The cottage was clean and comfy, and we could see the ocean and sand dunes from the deck. It was very soothing and relaxing - just what we needed! The hosts provided everything we needed and they were super to communicate with. I appreciated the suggestions Leslie gave for favorite restaurants and nearby attractions. The beach is a very short walk away. We loved our time there and didn't want to leave. I highly recommend these hosts and this property. Thanks Leslie and Greg!

Beautiful beach home

lovely, spacious property with comfy beds and vibrant beach decor, about a block from the beach! The only complaint we had was that for the price point, we had to bring our own towels (hand towels too), toilet paper, paper towel, dish washer fluid, and trash bags. The kitchen also had no tin foil, plastic wrap, Ziplocs, Tupperware or anything of the sort, so cooking and storing food was a little challenging. Other than that, lovely place, host was very responsive!

Immaculate cottage by the sea

Greg and Leslie's beach side cottage is located 100 feet or so from a pristine beach in South Nag's Head NC. It was easy to find, exceptionally clean, stocked with all we needed and very comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and safe, just far enough away from the OBX hustle, but near enough so that most of what we were interested in was a 10 to 20 minute car ride away. Greg and Leslie were very responsive, and easy to communicate with. My two teens and I would live here if we could but we'll be satisfied to return every now and then knowing that we will be coming back to a beautiful setting and fantastic house! Thank you, Leslie and Greg!

ONE LEVEL BEACH COTTAGE

Very convenient access to beach, life guards on this section, kitchen well stocked, lot's of games for kids & family. Furniture in living area comfortable. King bed very comfortable, bunk beds are for children (I am 5'8" & could not sleep in them) and the bunk beds are in a separate part of the house next to the kitchen. Child would wake up if we needed something in the kitchen. Hose & shower outside were big helps controlling the amount of sand in the house. Huge washer & dryer, several beach chairs & boogie boards all under the house. If you need groceries plan on a good 20-30 minute ride due to traffic/flood area. Be sure to get reservations for dinner, if restaurant accepts them. Most do not and many do not have online ordering. We loved the area & the house. It was very comfortable for 4 adults & 1 child.

Family friendly

Great location with just a couple houses to the beach. Lifeguard was on duty from10 to 5. Semi-private beach with just a few other families there. 😃 The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The living room was stocked with books, DVDs, and children’s games. They also had everything you need for a fun day at the beach- Chairs, umbrella, cooler, and sand toys. I appreciated having sheets provided, that was one less thing to worry about! The bike path is just a few feet from the front door. We brought our bikes but found it was way too humid, even in the morning to use them. (Living in the northeast we are not used to that kind of humidity.) Overall a perfect vacation for our family. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

About the host

Hosted by Greg and Leslie Harshfield

Host profile image
We are a family of 6 from the Midwest. Our kids have grown up spending hours on the beach, building sand castles, playing in the waves, burying each other in the sand, and finding treasures that the tide brings in. They now range in age from 13-30 so their beach fun has changed to sunbathing, kayaking, fishing, and visiting their favorite restaurants and ice cream shops. One of our absolute favorite things is taking a day trip to Corolla to see the iconic Outer Banks wild horses. The tours are loads of fun and we see something new every time. There is definitely something to do for all ages! Greg takes advantage of the amazing photo opportunities, whether it's pictures of the majestic water birds, catching the last rays of the day illuminating the Bodie Island lighthouse, the sea turtles nesting, or just family fun on the beach. Leslie loves to walk up and down the beach, picking up shells that the tide brings in and popping into some of her favorite local shops, especially in the quaint little town of Manteo. We also love the fresh seafood at the local restaurants, and highly recommend O'Neals Sea Harvest in Wanchese if you want to prepare your own! And we have to mention how amazing our North Carolina Aquarium is, and it isn't far from our place. Check out the sea turtle rescue wing!

Why they chose this property

We rented this house for our family vacation years ago and fell in love with it. It just felt like home. When we called to book the same week for the next summer, the owners told us that they were selling. We decided that we couldn't pass up the opportunity. Owning this beach house has been a dream come true. We know that you will treasure the warm memories that your family makes here, just like we do!

What makes this property unique

This house is in a PERFECT location. It is on a quiet street in South Nags Head, just steps from the beach. There is a lifeguard tower on the beach at the end of our street from Memorial Day through Labor Day, which is a rare amenity. There are plenty of restaurants, golf courses, shops, grocery stores, banks, parks, piers, and other attractions in Nags Head. Our home is located just past all of those things, so you only have to drive a few minutes to anything you want to go to. You could also ride your bike along the bike path to get to many of those attractions. At night you can see millions of stars in the sky!
