Ask a questionAbout Maria Crawford
I enjoy owning and managing these properties, working on the improvements that add to my guests experiences every chance I can get. Call me a "pleaser" personality, but I do thrive on the joys of hosting! Having traveled much of the world, especially in Europe, I do understand that hospitality can be done creatively and with grace. A little about myself: Raised in Richmond, my family would spend much of the summer, during my childhood in the original house. I enjoyed working and getting to know many locals in the area. After earning a BA at Scripps College in CA, I lived in San Fransisco, Charleston SC, New York, Lexington Va, Marietta GA, Maastricht Netherlands, and now Atlanta. My 3 grown sons, also owners, enjoy memories there as well. In fact my oldest son was recently married on the beach, then our family and friends danced and dined on our Rooftop deck! My sons and I own, while I manage 3 rental properties. This one, Crawford Cottage, a 3 bedroom Atlanta property in town, and a NC Mountains Lakefront 4 bedroom property in Sapphire NC. Beach, City, and Mountain Lake. If you have enjoyed one of my properties, I welcome you to check out my others!
Maria Crawford purchased this House in 1945
Why Maria Crawford chose Nags Head
This property has both the grace of old beach living and the energy and efficiency of the new; our 1948 restored 4 bedroom and modern 9 bedroom home, connected and yet private from each other. The slight separation is a bonus because there will always be those who want more privacy in every group. It is important to me that I provide the best venue possible for our guests in my family's Crawford Cottage. We hope that each guest leaves with a wonderful, lasting and meaningful memory of their time spent here.. Offering our best means that all of the extras are offered with care and thoughtfulness. My grand-parents from Virginia built the smaller cottage in the early 40s at a time when there were mandatory blackouts at night during the war. They enjoyed deep sea fishing and inviting friends. Robert Frost and Pearl Buck, friends of more distant relatives both visited there I've been told. The cottage weathered the Ash Wednesday storm when 3 gigantic waves washed through the house, mounding a small sand dune on our living room floor. After that, my family decided to nurture the dunes with planted sea oats, important to protect the cottage from future storms. As I edit this, during the Pandemic, you will note in our new rental agreement that if Dare County closes access to the property for whatever reason, Pandemic, Hurricane or anything else, you will be refunded with the option to reschedule.
What makes this House unique
You may read in our description and our reviews that indeed Crawford Cottage is unique because we strive to provide the grace of Old Nags Head style joined with the quality comfort and modern convenience. All guests may enjoy the amenities of the YMCA, just one mile away as Crawford Cottage guests.
