Description Description

Fourth Estate Cottage: A comfy and cozy historic oceanfront home located in the heart of Nags Head that has a sandy path to the beach and offers guests YMCA access during their stay!

Bed Sizes: 3 Queen, 2 Double

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. 

Exploring the OBX: Fourth Estate Cottage is close to Jockey's Ridge State Park, Nags Head Fishing Pier, Dowdy Park, grocery stores, and many of our favorite local restaurants and unique shops.

Had a blast, loved our beach house!

Perfect location, beautiful beach
The location could not be more perfect at this property that epitomizes old Nags Head. The relaxing porch leads to a gorgeous beach. The interior of the house is old, but newer bathrooms - as described in the listing. The kitchen provided the basics (plates, utensils, etc) but could’ve benefited from some essentials (like dish soap and dishwasher detergent). More bath towels would’ve also been helpful. Communication from the property manager was timely and thorough.

Second time
This is the second time we have stayed in the space, while the pathway in the back is a bit overgrown leading to the beach, it is one of the most relaxing and peaceful places to slip back into the “bygone age” of Kitty hawk. With the old style charm and newer amenities and the proximity to everything makes it the perfect place for a family who doesn’t really care about having a pool but is actually at the beach to enjoy the beach

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.

Charles, we are so glad you enjoyed your time at our historic Fourth Estate Cottage! This home truly is like stepping back in time, but with modern comforts. We hope you will keep us in mind for another visit to the Outer Banks!

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.

Ocean front beach house
This home was the perfect size for our family of 5 + a few friends. They have kept the charm of the traditional Nags Head beach house with modern updates in the kitchen and bathrooms. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and most days had a nice breeze. You can not see the ocean from the porch because of the dunes however there is a short path to the beach through the dunes. This was very convenient for us! Linens and towels were provided and the kitchen had everything we needed(but we did not cook elaborate meals). We had a minor issue with the alarm system beeping and Coastal Carolina was very attentive to this. They sent out people immediately. We had a issue with the dishwasher and again they answered my texts right away and sent someone out. The location was perfect for us, we rented bikes and our teenage kids were able to bike to get coffee, açaí bowls, ice-cream, shops, etc. We also utilized the YMCA passes that came with the house. The house may seem “old” to some but if your looking to enjoy a traditional OBX home, I recommend this home.
