About this property

Close to the beach, clean and comfy! Your pooch is welcome.

If you're looking for a small affordable family cottage in a quiet location within an easy walk to the beach (2 blocks), then this is it! Very comfortably furnished and well-equipped (especially the kitchen), kept in great shape by part-time local owner, the Cooley Cottage offers a quiet yet very convenient location. There is just a short walk to a beach access with a lifeguard stand. Virtually no traffic on this cul-de-sac, yet right in the heart of Nags Head activities, whether it be swimming at the beach or sound, shopping, or a variety of outdoor family activities. Plus it’s pet friendly! Grab those boogie boards and take a short walk to the beach where your family and your pooch can enjoy the Atlantic Ocean at its best.
Restaurants, Nags Head Fishing Pier, coffee shops, shopping, and a variety of family amusements are all a short walk away from the quiet yet convenient location of this cottage. This is the perfect spot for those athletes coming for marathons! The cottage is a block from where the November race starts!
