Update for 2025! A brand new private pool will be installed just in time for the opening of spring pool season. New amenities for 2025 will also include a hot tub and outdoor recreation area. Photos coming in early April! If you're in search of unobstructed ocean vistas and direct access to the beach, look no further than Shell Cottage. This freshly refreshed oceanfront home in South Nags Head features a private walkway that makes getting to and from the beach painless and convenient.
The reverse floor plan at Shell Cottage takes full advantage of the expansive ocean vistas, which can be adored from every room on the top level. Stylish and beach-friendly LVT floor is installed throughout, and the open-concept layout accepts everybody to spend quality time together even while preparing meals in the kitchen. Dine al fresco on the screened porch while watching the sun go down. After dinner, mix drinks at the wet bar to serve on the oceanfront deck. Take the stairs down to the mid-level and use the private walkway to the beach for an evening walk by the shore break.
All four bedrooms are conveniently located on the mid-level, and the two master suites provide direct access to a covered oceanfront deck. Rinse off in the enclosed outdoor shower on your way back from the beach and use the dry entry from the ground level, where you can drop off your towels and swimsuits in the laundry area.
Located at milepost 19.5 in South Nags Head, Shell Cottage is a mile south of the Outer Banks Fishing Pier and Fish Head's Bar and Grille, where you can order food and drinks on the oceanfront while listening to live music. Coquina Beach, part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and a favorite local spot for fishing and surfing, is a six-min. drive away. From there, discover Bodie Island Lighthouse or head south for a day trip to Ocracoke.
No family pets allowed. No smoking/vaping.

Sticking to a rental budget:
- In the Nags Head area, The earlier you can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are booked early.

You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at Nags Head restaurants, beaches, and activities.
- Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your vacationing group qualifies for a reduced rate.
- Property management companies frequently offer guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any missed vacation time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for details.
