Families have maintained the look and feel of these historic homes located in Nags Head and the Fourth Estate Cottage c.1935 lets you step back in time when families came to the beach and enjoyed each other's company, children played on the beach and everyone gathered on the wide spacious covered decks to talk about life. Imagine the stories that have been told for generations here and will be told for generations to come. Evening cocktails and morning swims were a part of the tradition so make sure you do the same. The Old Nags Head charm still exists here but with added modern conveniences this home will be the place to rest, rejuvenate and make unforgettable memories. The lower level offers living, dining, and kitchen areas where everyone can gather for family time and delicious meals. The original bath on the main level has a claw foot tub so you have that rustic charm and the top level has four bedrooms and upgraded baths so everyone will be sure to find the perfect spot to end an adventurous day. Bring the family to this unforgettable home where you can share in the history and memories of years past.

House with Character
We were very happy with the property. This house is obviously much older than a lot of the houses in Nags Head, and it has so much character. The modern upgrades were a nice touch. If there was a walkway over the dune the house would be perfect. That wasn't a big deal, but it's hard for older people to walk over.

Great time here
Everything was nice. Love the vintage charm of the house. We did have some trouble with the internet but it was taken care of promptly.

Nice house but was a work in progress.
Location was great. Basic necessities were met. Repeated HVAC maintenance/repair was an issue and an interruption. Security system was a hassle, random internal beeping alarms went off repeatedly. Unable to silence, turn off completely or unplug security system. Path to the beach needs to be trimmed/pruned back. Steps and a walkway to the top of the dune would be great, like the neighbors. Rough pine wood floors were hard on the bare feet. Beds and bathrooms were good.
