Cottage

This classic OBX beachbox bungalow has been owned by the same family for numerous decades -- and cherished by our friends and other families who have selected this handsome NC coastal community as their vacation destination for years!

Centrally located at Milepost (MP) 10, and the ideal location of "Between the Highways" (158 & 12) , this well appointed and handsomely landscaped bungalow shares a modest, peaceful family-friendly street with a close-knit community of OBX regulars that is an painless 1.5 block walk to the Albatross Beach Access. The home features an open living arrangement with a sizable kitchen, dining, and family combo room adjacent to nice-sized covered front porch that includes constructed-in bench seating and two Adirondack rockers. Below the main floor of the bungalow is additional space for calming in the sectional couch and Nags Head handcrafted hammock. Imagine grabbing a cold drink from the little refrigerator and chilling out with your Buds at one of the constructed-in bar tables. Coming straight from the beach? No problem. Just hop in the outdoor shower that features two options: one on the sunny-outside and one on the covered-carport-side. A washer/dryer is available for your laundry needs. Beyond the carport is an extended backyard with plenty of room for you and your friends to play corn hole and other beach games with nice sun protection from a few mature trees. A constructed-in charcoal grille makes outdoor cooking simple and fun!

The historic gift shop, Ben Franklin, and the OBX favorite, Brew Thru, are a short walk away. Two major grocery stores -- Harris Teeter and Food Lion -- are close by. The bungalow is across the Hwy-158 from OBX ABC Store -- and within walking and cycling distance from local eatery favorites like Front Porch Cafe, Kill Devil Grille, Country Deli, The Spot Ice Cream and freshly opened Noosa Beach Grille, Swells'a Brewing Beer Company, and Mahi Mahi Island Grille. About one mile away, Dowdy Park offers five acres of recreation for every age and ability -- and, Wright Brother's National Memorial, Jockey's Ridge State Park, and Nags Head Woods Preserve are just three more of the many OBX outdoor activities to discover. Vacation passes are available for purchase at the YMCA-OBX should you wish to take in exercise and pool amenities while visiting.

Here to go fishing? Ideal. T.W.'s Bait & Tackle is located right across Hwy-158. Have a shopping itch? Excellent. T.J. Maxx is also right across Hwy-158 -- and the OBX Outlet Mall is 6 miles away. Surfing? Cool. Whalebone Surf Shop has it all right across Hwy-158. Rainy day? No worries. OBX Bowling Center is next to T.J. Maxx, Kill Devil Hills Multiplex is less than 4 miles down Hwy-158, and the bungalow has two Intelligent TVs. Need to do a bit of business? We have Staples across Hwy-158, next to T.J. Maxx, and the locally-owned OBX Shipping Center is a short drive away. Have a bigger family to accommodate? There are a number of similar beachbox cottages on Atlas Street that welcome families just like yours -- and, Marriott's TownPlace Suites is a few blocks away.

The towns of Manteo and Ocracoke (to the South) -- and, Duck and Corolla (to the North) are all great day trips and provide further enjoyment for the entire family -- but, to be honest, most folks who visit just like grabbing their choice of cold beverages, doing a bit of beach combing and body boarding, a lot of porch chatting and rocking, and creating lifelong memories with their friends and families. We find that every season on the OBX brings it own unique beauty -- and, we look forward to hosting you soon. We know you and your family will appreciate the OBX as much as we do!

* While we appreciate our four-legged friends, we are unable to host them at our bungalow. We savor you understanding. There are many OBX units that open their homes to your family pets. If this is a requirement for your travels, we ask that you book with a rental property that can best accommodate your furry adored one(s). Thank you!

** NOTE: Atlas Street neighbors actively participate in the Community Watch program as established by the Town of Nags Head Police Division. While we want all our guests to have fun in the OBX, we also want to ensure their safety and well-being. The Community Watch assists local law enforcement with monitoring and reporting disruptive and illegal activities. We greatly appreciate our guests adherence to all OBX ordinances -- and to helping us keep our community safe, our beaches clean, and Fish Wish the happiest beachbox bungalow to vacation while visiting the Outer Banks!

Tips to get the optimal Nags Head vacation home experience:

Get the most from your spending budget:

Summer is high season in Nags Head. Reserve your vacation home in Fall or Spring months to enjoy warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve an oceanfront vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during June, July, and August.
The earlier you can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your vacation rental.
Some owners offer rate reductions for veterans and active duty military. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if rate reductions are available for your group.
Property managers typically offer renters an option to obtain vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of personal medical-related issues or weather, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
Look for your local Nags Head visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great information, travel guides have discounts for local accommodations, tours and attractions.

How to select the perfect vacation rental in the Nags Head area:

Start by selecting trip dates and a max budget.
Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. Fish Wish Cottage (MP 10): Centrally Located to Everything OBX! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
Precise descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is almost always available on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, email or call the host before booking your rental. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is right for your group.
Visiting for a single attraction? If so, use a map search to find nearby rentals.
Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for those with limited mobility. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
If your group is vacationing with pets, you'll need to find a rental that allows animals. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Often, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Tips to have a wonderful stay:

We recommend storing the owner's contact information in your smartphone.
During arrival, make note of any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the property manager. Record all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
Property managers are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask questions during your stay.
Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful visitors disrupting your peace. Employ the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have not otherwise known about!
Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can usually help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to grab the best tacos, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking the rental when you are gone, just like you would back home.
Re-check every room of the rental property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings at check-out. Re-check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
Go through the rental one final time and look for any damage. We recommend walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take photographs of the property to record its condition at check-out.
After your trip, leave a review! Property owners rely on excellent reviews to stimulate new reservations. They'll be much obliged for your review. Alternatively, if something went wrong, other families will be thankful you shared your feedback find their best vacation home. Be fair with your review. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
