Ridge Retreat II – A Historic Nags Head Treasure
Step into Ridge Retreat II, a cherished family heirloom constructed in 1938, where generations of appreciated ones have gathered to embrace the timeless magic of the Outer Banks. This classic Nags Head bungalow is more than just a place to stay—it’s a piece of history, deeply rooted in the community and standing as a testament to the enduring beauty of the OBX coastline.

Perched just one home back from the ocean, with semi-private pedestrian access only 150 feet from the beach, Ridge Retreat II invites you to experience the Outer Banks the way it was meant to be—through long days on the shore and evenings spent on the broad covered porches, letting the rhythm of the waves and the salty breeze carry your cares away.

This home holds a special place in Outer Banks history, with one of its owners having worked alongside Carolista Fletcher Baum to protect and preserve Jockey’s Ridge from development. Thanks to their efforts, this towering natural wonder—the biggest active sand dune on the East Coast—remains a playground for adventure, exploration, and handsome sunsets. Today, Ridge Retreat II overlooks this iconic landscape, offering a really unique setting where history and nature meet.

Tips for getting the best Nags Head vacation home experience:

When to go & When to reserve a rental home:

In the Nags Head area, The sooner your group can reserve a home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your vacation property six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to plan and reserve your vacation home.
To find the best value, consider changing your group's vacation week to the Spring or Fall shoulder seasons. May, September, and October offer warmer temperatures, less crowded beaches, and greatly reduced traffic. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Nags Head vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with loved ones at the beach.
Hosts sometimes offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Make sure to check with your host or property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
Booking websites frequently offer guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
Find a copy of your local Nags Head visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great articles, visitor guides have money saving offers on nearby accommodations, tours and attractions.

Start by having your group commit to date ranges and a max budget.
Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration your group needs. Historic Cottage + Oceanside + Nags Head NC + Ridge Retreat II has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
Specific information about bedrooms and bed types is normally accessible online. If they are not listed, email the property management company before you book your home. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which often includes pull-out couches.
