This classic OBX beachbox bungalow has been owned by the same family for multiple 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 simple 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 painless 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 appreciate 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 and Tricks to get the very best Nags Head vacation rental experience:
Sticking to a spending budget:
- The earlier you can book, the easier your search will be. The most desirable vacation rentals are reserved early. Reserving your rental six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
- June, July, and August are the most expensive months in Nags Head. Booking a rental in the Spring or Fall is an excellent way to save money on your vacation home. Rates are lower, and you'll find a better selection of suitable properties. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Nags Head vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation near the ocean? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
- Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
- Management companies and individual rental owners frequently offer their guests an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed trip time as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for more information.
- Many rental management companies supply Nags Head area visitors guides which often include special offers, either offered independently by local companies, or through a relationship between the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find Nags Head visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.
Narrow your rental Search:
- Start by selecting your trip dates and a spending budget.
- Decide how many beds and the bed configuration your family needs. Fish Wish Cottage (MP 10): Centrally Located to Everything OBX! has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
- Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is generally accessible online. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property owner before you reserve the rental. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds and bunks.
- Remember to include your furry companions! Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your agreement thoroughly! Additional pet fees or costs applied to your invoice.
- If there's a certain Nags Head destination you crave, look for homes that are either near by, or those that cater to your needs.
- Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for guests with disabilities. Make certain to ask about specialized equipment and wheel chair accessibility.
Considerations for your stay:
- We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone and wallet.
- Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, intercom or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many problems.
- Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let burglars spoil your vacation.
- Document any issues with the rental during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that can be very helpful if there is a dispute.
- Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a great resource to find the best local spots.
- Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
- On check-out day, take a walk-through to confirm you did not forget anything. Remember to check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden belongings. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
- Inspect the property one final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We recommend walking through with the property manager whenever possible. If the manager is not available, take photos and video of the rental to record its condition.
- Did your family have a excellent stay? Many rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental and/or host was great, they would love to hear it. If anything was wrong and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your feedback.
